i hear that tim is translating sun's book on tai chi . is this true??? and if so when can i expect to see it released???
The book is due out in a month or so.
It's being published by North Atlantic Books.
This thing is going to be a big hit with people who practice any form of Tai Ji...
Finally, a book on Sun style that is accurately translated by someone who actually understands the style and the classical flowery language Sun Lu Tang wrote in.

Joe,
Any plans of bringing Tim to NE?

Hi Tim,
The book does not seem to be out yet in Amazon. Any idea what the actual date is ?
kk
Kahko,
I don't know the exact date. My publisher says it should be soon.
looking forward to it, tim, as i am sure lots of others are...will you let us know on the board, when it is released? best...
Thanks, I'll let everyone know as soon as it's available.
Hi Tim,
I wonder, does SLT address the reasons he linked tcc, bg and xy in this or any of his books? Or, has SJY addressed it?
Regards,
Steve James
Steve,
I think the primary reason was those were the three arts he studied.
Hi Tim,
sounds reasonable that he wuld have seen the similarities for that reason. I also understand that Cheng Tinhua, his bagua teacher (?), emphasized cross-training, in general. If you work out with someone of another style, it's probably inevitable that one will observe similarities.
Btw, are you going down to the DR?
Best,
Steve James
What's the DR?
Dominican Republic?
I remember reading somewhere recently, but can't recall where, anyway there was a suggestion along the lines that, when Sun sought clarification on aspects of internal energy, he compared the jings of Xing Yi and Tai Ji (Hao) and this inspired him to 'create' Sun Tai ji.
Hi Tim,
yes, the Dominican Republic. I wondered if you were participating in or observing the Pan American Games.
Best,
Steve James
No, I'm not planning to go to the Dominican Republic.
Hmm, I preordered this book from Amazon in June, but I still haven't received it. Some trouble with the publisher? Will it ever be released?
The book is at the printers and should be available very soon.
