Tai Chi Chuan: The Martial Side Book by Michael Babin (Preowned)

In this book, Michael Babin, an accredited instructor under dim-mak master Erle Montaigue, focuses on the martial side of tai chi, as opposed to Taoist theory or solo forms. In it he delves into some controversial areas, including the use of internal energy, particularly chi-kung (sexual energy); the potential value of cross-training in compatible martial arts; training methods that will help students apply the fundamentals defensively; the use of safety gear and training for unarmed defense against weapons.
