Rennie Chong and George Loo, Taiji Quan: Body of Knowledge. - Paperback, 123 pages, 535 b/w illustrations, Pepper Publications Pte Ltd, 2004, ISBN: 981-4097-09-8.

"This book is quite complete as an introductory text as it includes a full chapter on warming-up exercises and another full chapter on breathing exercises. These exercises are not found in most Taiji Quan books in English or Chinese ... I am very pleased to note that this book has managed to faithfully follow Professor Cheng's [Cheng Man Ch'ing] original development and yet has been written in layman's language and with clear explanations for the benefit of beginners..."
