Searching for Center

A Tai Chi Master’s Journey

by

Master Henry Wang

with Ted Libby

In this noteworthy and authoritative work, Master Henry Wang draws on the invaluable knowledge gained during his forty-five years of study to offer a comprehensive and accessible presentation on the theory and practice of Tai Chi Chuan.

In Searching for Center Master Wang shares important lessons on a variety of topics including the basics of Tai Chi form work, the related Taoist philosophical principles, and the nuances of Tai Chi’s advanced internal practices. The book presents his Seven Principles of Tai Chi practice and introduces his innovative partner-work training method, “Search Center”.

Master Wang is a former competitive gymnast, armed forces hand-to-hand combat instructor, personal fitness trainer, and Push Hands champion in his native country Taiwan. After winning five, national Push Hands tournaments he willingly gave up competitive Tai Chi completely and embarked on a deeper investigation of the art - a journey of body, mind, and spirit. Inspired by several teachers, and particularly by his relationship with the renowned Master Huang, Sheng Shyan (Huang, Xing Xian), Master Wang undertook a mission to relinquish the use of physical force (Li) in order to understand how to use the mind/intent (Yi) to develop and cultivate Tai Chi's internal "life force" energy (nei jin).

“I consider it essential that tai chi’s Taoist philosophy, tai chi form practice, and tai chi as a practical means of self-defense should all reflect a consistent point of view”. Master Henry Wang

Whether Tai Chi is practiced as a health-promoting exercise, a meditative discipline, an applied martial art, or a combination of all three, Tai Chi players at every level will benefit from the insights and lessons Master Wang provides.
