Reviews
"...Noteworthy in Inside Tai Chi are photographs and diagrams illustrating correct and incorrect execution of moves, which are great for people who may not have the benefit of regular class attendance...Loupos's voice resonates throughout the book as a dedicated practitioner for whom taiji is decidedly a lifestyle. His work is solid and extensive..." Taijiquan Journal "...This book is not another 'how to' book...but is more concerned with the application of Taiji to life in ways other than the martial. Any book that promotes this kind of application is to be applauded, as we should be encouraged to applaud the principles inherent in Taiji as much as possible...Loupos has written a book which invites us to broaden our view of what Taiji is..."
