A Guide to the Yang Style Long Form for Tai Chi

By Hugh Oddie and Sifu Paul McCaughey

In most instances, Tai Chi is an oral tradition that is taught by doing. This book tries to capture the essence and detail of Tai Chi in writing. It is written through the eyes of a teacher and so contains a description and placement within each movement ("The Map") and anticipates the most likely 'corrections' that will need to be addressed ("The Road Work"). In addition, there is an attempt to suggest the most likely "Applications" for each move - the martial element within the form. Sifu Paul McCaughey, Master Teacher of Toronto's Classical Yang Style Rising Sun School of Tai Chi Ch'uan (1984), a disciple of Master Lee Shui Pak since 1975, is also an accomplished 35-year Practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Sifu McCaughey's legacies are a meticulous training system, lineage worthy Senior Instructors, and a nonstop attention to detail, consummate with a lifetime of study, and the preservation of a Master Tradition. Hugh Oddie, student of Tai Chi over a couple of decades. A teacher of literature and economics, investment banker, author and poet.
