Summary: 27 moves in this short form
Review: Ho'o shows 9 classic chinese exercises, which are pretty good in themselves. Ho'o then shows 27 essential forms of Tai chi chuan. The pictures and discriptions aren't bad, but if you've never seen the movements, you may want to consider the video by the same author as well. Pushing hands is briefly discussed, and self defense possibilities are shown for a lot of the moves. All in all, a tidy little book to get one started in Tai chi.
