This fact alone should drive all those interested in tai chi to study the man’s history and thought. The content in this book is encompassing.
Known as a world’s leading authority on Asian martial arts, Robert W. Smith has practiced, taught, and written on the Asian martial arts for more than fifty years. From his late teens he trained under eminent Western boxing and wrestling coaches and later immersed himself in judo and finally the Chinese martial arts under celebrated masters. He taught many students in the latter arts in the Washington D.C. area where he worked as an intelligence officer for the CIA.
