There are No Secrets...

I am trying out Amazon links through its associate program Widgets. I will try several versions of linking objects in this post.
NOTE taht the displayed prices do not seem to be the "standard" amazon price, you may have to choose from 'more buying choices'


I have several books on or by Cheng Man Ching. I will give a few brief comments on each below.

There are No Secrets: Good "feel" for Tai Chi practice and philosphy, and an insight into Cheng Man Ching as a person. I have read this several times and it always reminds me of important points. The author trained over many years as a student of Cheng Man Ching when he instructed in New York.



Gateway to the Miraculous: A follow up to There are No Secrets. More of the same good stuff.



Cheng Tzu's Thirteen Treatises on T'ai Chi Ch'uan: Chen Man Ching on the principles of Tai Chi. A Classic. Also has photos of him as a young man (middle years?) in postures of the short form, with commentary on the posture. This is the hardback edition.



Master Cheng's New Method of Tai Chi Self-cultivation: Chen Man Ching performing the short form. Also some push hands. Here he was in his later years. Intersting as a historical photo reference of the short form perfromed by its originator
