Good tai chi books

[DMK]

It varies according to which system you are looking to learn and if you are a beginner or have a background in taiji.Each system have the same principles but a differnt flavor or let say interpretation, but the results????should be the same.Which falls back to how well u understand the principles.

Books on terms, theories and applications? So many to wade thru, suggetions?

The Wu Family Gold Book:

I like Ma Hong books on notes from Chen Fa Ke-> Chen Zhao Kui-> Ma Hong.

I like Wang Xi An books on requirements and apps of Chen Tai Chi Lao Jia.

I also like Wang Pei Sheng books and Wu Tai Chi (northern/beijing as opposed to southern/shanghai).

Tim Cartmell's "Effortless Combat Throws"

[Buddy]

Let me amend that... Jake is right, Tim's book is super!

I like Ma Hong books on notes from Chen Fa Ke-> Chen Zhao Kui-> Ma Hong.

Are those published in english? Do you have a link you could share? Thanks.

[SPJ]

Sorry. I am not aware of any English version of the books by Ma Hong.

His books are very good with several apps for a single posture and really make you think a lot.

and it really takes time to digest.

So then.. what, you mean you or your teacher has absolutely all the knowledge there is to know, on Taichi? :|

Books can always offer new insights, new opinions, training methods, theories, concepts.. they can help newer students understand all of these brand new concepts, and can be an essential reference point for senior students or even Masters.
