From the Publisher: Bringing philosophy back into the martial arts, Griffin and Gabriel do a wonderful job reminding us of what the martial arts is all about.
For over forty years, while staying true to its philosophy, Tai-Ch'uan-Tao (TCT) has been creating sport karate champions. To date, with over thirty state and world champions it continues to do so. Many famed sport karate teams have benefited from Tai-Ch'uan-Tao's impressive techniques and style. To have one talented individual is a reflection on them, but to have many, that is a reflection on its instructor and its system. Two years in the making, this is the first official book on Tai-Ch'uan-Tao's system, principles, practice, and beginning techniques.
Continuing this tradition and bringing philosophy back into the martial arts, in this all-inclusive book Si-fu Griffin and Master Gabriel give you a thorough introduction into the Art of Tai-Ch'uan-Tao. You will learn first-hand what is meant by, "Clearing the gate." You'll learn the system, basic blocks, kicks, attacks, vital points and defensive techniques. You'll also learn the first three forms, the requirements for your next rank and much more! We invite you to see and learn for yourself why Tai-Ch'uan-Tao continues to be an art that not only helps you in combat but through-out your whole life.
