Heal yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually with the ultimate guide to T’ai Chi and QiGong for beginners!

T’ai Chi — a martial art used for health, meditation, and self-defense — and QiGong — a large variety of physical and mental training methods based on Chinese philosophy — are widely recognized to heal physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. T’ai Chi has demonstrated its health benefits by being linked with everything from slowing the aging process and increasing balance and flexibility to lowering stress levels and enhancing the body’s natural healing powers.

In this fourth edition of The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to T’ai Chi & QiGong, the authors have streamlined the book, giving it a clearer how-to focus. Nearly 150 video clips complement the 300 helpful illustrations in the book by demonstrating a complete T’ai Chi exercise — all exclusively available to readers on the authors’ website.

“Sometimes Chinese culture can be difficult to explain. Sifu Bill Douglas successfully uses American culture to explain the art of T’ai Chi Chuan. He simplifies difficult concepts, making them easier to understand. This book takes the best parts of T’ai Chi and makes them understandable [to Westerners] without requiring a grounding in Chinese culture and history.” – Sifu Yijiao Hong, USA All-Tai Chi Grand Champion and USA Team member; Certified International Coach and Judge, International Wushu Federation

“Douglas has achieved for QiGong what Apple did for the computer. He’s brought it to the people … great place to start for beginners. … Teachers may also find this an excellent manual ‘on how to explain these concepts to the general public…'” – R. Poccia, stress management instructor, Beyond Anonymous, San Francisco

“Visionary! If you only buy one book on T’ai Chi, then this is the book. This book is all you ever needed to know to change your life. I have taught T’ai Chi for several decades myself, yet I have now read Bill’s book from cover to cover seven times, and still get something new from it each time.” – Dr. Michael Steward Sr., D.MA, Ph.D., MA, Senior Coach for Team USA, Inductee of the World Sports Medicine and World Martial Arts Hall of Fame
