Ways of Learning: a Handbook for Teachers and Students of the Martial Arts Paul Read

Most books on Tai Chi and the Martial Arts focus on exercises. Ways of Learning takes a different approach by asking a simple question: How is any of this going to help me learn what I need to learn, teach what I need to teach? The answers reveal themselves throughout the 18 chapters in this book. * How to Find your own Learning Path * How to rediscover the Warrior Spirit * The Art of Yielding, listening and Speaking * Technology and Taoism * Popular Teaching Illusions * Standard Clichés to Avoid * Going Beyond the limits of Copying * Training Checklists for Students and Teachers * Getting your Students to Teach Forget diagrams and photos of postures. You can get those in class. Here are the ways to bring a new and fresh approach to both learning and teaching.
