"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."

Coach for Team USA, Inductee of the World Sports Medicine and
World Martial Arts Hall of Fame
"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."

Team member; Certified International Coach and Judge,

"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…'"

the purposes of this day is ‘to bring together people across
racial, economic, religious, and geo-political boundaries, to
