"This is all about the forms. It begins with their history, touches on Tai Chi writings which influenced their development and then works on helping you to master each of the basic forms in 10 easy steps. You can’t ask for much more than that." - M. Ellis (Craft of Combat).

Hi, my name is Paul Read and I have written half-a-dozen books on Tai Chi, taught workshops and courses in different countries and have produced comprehensive online programs for both beginners and advanced students.

During the 35 years I've been teaching Tai Chi, I have discovered some of the best methods for learning the moves, the most effective shortcuts to applying the principles, ways to adapt and customise the Form to make it yours, and, and, how to enjoy the process at the same time. 

"The approach is smart, creative and incredibly enjoyable. This book and videos are as close as you're going to get to live one-on-one teaching" -RK.

WHY THIS MAKES LEARNING TAI CHI SIMPLE AND EASY 

• No need to study complex sequences: Learn using patterns, shapes and the shortcuts I have taught over the last 35 years.  

• Open to all levels: Everyone comes to Tai Chi as a unique person. I'll show you how to adapt each move to fit your energy, time and background.
• No Fixed Time-table: Practise when you want, where you want and how often you want.
• See it all clearly: Use the book alone or watch all the moves online from all angles, with use of gifs and close-up videos. 
• Hybrid learning: Pick and choose your tools: combining paperback book, audio files, PDFs, images with the online videos to get the best learning experience.
