Taichi Digital Archive

3 July 2008 419 views 6 Comments

Well I was hoping someone will do it someday and they did. The National College of Physical Education and Sports of Taiwan digitized together a collection of 46 Taijiquan classics. A few of them are even handwritten copies, while others are printed in the 1930s.

Well the scanned images may not be of high resolution but it is good enough for research or personal use.

Taichi Martial Art Digital Archive

So here it is The Tai-chi Martial Art Digital Archive.

One of the manual in this archive is  by 17th generation xiaojia master, Chen Ziming. His work, The Art of Chen Family Taijiquan Transmitted Through Generations published in 1932.

Well hopefully some of you find this archive useful.

    Yes, really nice, but some vids of Michuan have been published out of this source a time ago, what made some furious, even it’s public and free to download.
