Features: Yang-style Tai Chi Dao is a set of techniques created by combining the chopping, sweeping, blocking, thrusting, carrying, twisting, pushing, framing, sweeping, hanging, cutting, blocking, and wiping techniques of dao forms with the characteristics of Tai Chi exercises. The Yang-style Tai Chi Dao, as it is passed down, was originally created by predecessors of Yang-style Tai Chi. However, there is no clearly defined standardized teaching material for it to this day. Based on a deep understanding of Yang-style Tai Chi and dao techniques, the author of this book has systematically organized, refined, and adapted the folk Yang-style Tai Chi Dao during the process of inheritance, making it more aligned with the principles and style of Yang-style Tai Chi and better suited for elderly learners. Considering the popularity of the "Martial Arts Step-by-Step Teaching Series" published by Anhui Science and Technology Press among martial arts enthusiasts, the author skillfully adapted this book into a step-by-step teaching manual. Additionally, the author personally served as the model for the photos to meet reader expectations, hoping to promote the wider dissemination of Yang-style Tai Chi Dao.
