Paul Brennan makes another classic treatise on Tàijíquán freely available to English monoglots! This one is by 董英傑 (Dǒng Yīngjié) a.k.a Tung Ying-chieh, an early student of both the Yáng and Wǔ (/ Hǎo) styles and creator of the Dǒng family fast form of Tai Chi. For the Tai Chi players among us there are a lot of interesting insights to unpack here, as Dǒng was both educated and a successful fighter, who writes directly from his own experience. Enjoy!
