For over thirty years, while staying true to its philosophy, Tai-Ch'uan-Tao (TCT) has been creating sport karate champions. To date, with over thirty state and world champions it continues to do so. Many famed sport karate teams have benefited from Tai-Ch'uan-Tao's impressive techniques and style. to have one talented individual is a reflection on them, but to have many, that is a reflection on its instructor and its system. Two years in the making, this is the first official book on Tai-Ch'uan-Tao's system, principals, practice, and beginning techniques.

Past member of the World Tae-Kwon-do Federation and the founder of Tai-Ch'uan-Tao is master Cheng Lu. An eighth Dan on the art of Tae Kyon Tae Kwon Do, and a disciple of Chinese Short boxing, Northern Shaolin Kung-Fu, Tai-Chi, Eagle Claw, Snake & Crane styles and Chang Chuan, and is a past instructor of the Taiwanese Special Forces. During his extensive training, Master Lu found that blending and redirecting rather than stopping and interception, to be a much more efficient and effective system for actual combat situations in both mental and physical strategies. Thus, the art of Tai-Ch'uan-Tao was born. A personal disciple of Master Lu, Master Gabriel took over the torch, creating the first American Tai-Ch'uan-Tao school in the United States in 1978. In 1979 the American Tai-Ch'uan-Tao Association was formed and TCT has been creating champions ever since.

Continuing this tradition and bringing philosophy back into the martial arts, in this all-inclusive book Si-fu Griffin and Master Gabriel give you a thorough introduction into the Art of Tai-Ch'uan-Tao. You will learn first hand what is meant by "clearing the gate." You'll learn about our system, our basic blocks, kicks, attacks, vital points and defensive techniques. You'll also learn our first three forms, the requirements for your next rank and much more! We invite you to see and learn for yourself why Tai-Ch'uan-Tao continues to be an art that not only helps you in combat but throughout your whole life.

By John J. Gabriel and Rod L. Griffin. Softcover. 129 pages.
