"This book covers deep internal training aspects of Taijiquan. Photos accompany each section of the text. It is a rare text written by Wu, one of China's most famous teachers of Bagua, Xingyi, and Taiji during the 1930's thru 1950's. Approximately 93 pages; black and white printing and photos. Photos of Wu are somewhat unclear, but visible. Partial contents include:

Synopsis of Practice and Theory Song,
The Thirteen Character Training Song,
The Confounding Round Song,
The Eighteen Locations,
The Long Lance Art of Yang Lu-Chan,
Original Skill of Taiji Boxing, and more.
Song 1: includes a section entitled "Skill Significance" (Ji su yi yi). This is a section included with the original text's technical explanation of the 81 Taiji postures, providing a short synopsis of each posture's martial function. A text necessary for those wanting to learn many of the secrets of internal martial practices."

This is from the text page itself. Other interesting and important attributes include a biography of Zhang Rong Jiao with some key points. Some background on Sha Guo Zhen. Sha's introduction to the writings of Wu Meng Xia. Unlike many books on the "classics explained" this one has a more definite stance and - though with difficulty - really tries to explain the meanings of the classic with strategic examples of how they might be put into use. These are notoriously ambiguous phrases and concepts and Wu's interpretation is important and often clarifying.

NOTE: This is privately published book with Spiral bound white standard sized pages.

Sha's notes on Wu Meng Xia.
