Produktbeschreibung

Falling Is Not an Option: A Way to Lifelong Balance is a reference and instructional manual for an original form of balance-improving exercises called Postural Retraining, which are derived from T'ai Chi. Total of 122 photos of the author doing each exercise. Best viewed in 8 1/2' x 8 1/2' soft cover or on a large e-screen. The book distills generations of Chinese martial-arts wisdom about balance and stability into a practical and effective exercise system that can improve balance and stability in people of all ages, from seniors with insecure balance to elite athletes looking to improve excellent balance. Over 40 years ago, I had the good fortune to be introduced to Cheng Hsiang Yu, a Grandmaster of T'ai Chi Chuan, who was born in Shanghai, China. Our class met in a Buddhist Temple in New York's Lower East Side, in a building that had once been a Jewish Synagogue. Nothing could have been more appropriate. I and many others studied with Master Yu for decades. As we improved, we witnessed that our teacher literally got stronger as he aged. At 82, he could still throw us on the floor! While this is not a book about the martial side of T'ai Chi, it is about the balance and stability component, which is the most important - and the most challenging.
