Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain
The Essence of Tai Ji
Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Singing Dragon
First published in 1973, this all time classic of Tai Ji literature
remains as fresh and illuminating today as when it was first published.
Written with true passion and eloquence, the book richly conveys the
subtle yet profound principles underlying Tai Ji. Movement, stillness,
joyfulness, and the ability to live in the moment are the threads
running through the text, as well as the humour and compassion to
acknowledge the impossibility of human perfection. Containing the
original foreword by Alan W. Watts, the book is illustrated with
beautiful calligraphy by the author, and photographs by Si Chi Ko, one
of China's 'National Treasures'.

Own Tao.”
