What People Say About "T'ai-Chi for Geniuses"


Steve Smith Gene Burnett is a talented musician and Tʼai Chi Sifu in Ashland, Oregon he trained for many years with Sifu Andy Dale and was close to Sifu David Harris. I have known Gene for twenty years and have always been touched by his insight into whatʼs behind the obvious and seeing essence in the mundane. "Tʼai Chi for Geniuses" is a refreshing book on the practice of the Great Ultimate Boxing that awakens your inner genius and brings your creative mind into the process to make interesting the parts of the practice of anything that we would normally like to just skip over and get to the good stuff. By linking your genius to the building blocks, they become alive and a joy, to practice and brings beauty to the rest of our days. Sifu Burnett is assuring and takes the fear out of learning something new and does not insult, rather attaches your intelligence.

Thank You Gene for a tremendous book, I enjoy reading and sections of mine every day.

Datta Groover - Public Speaker & Speaker Trainer I've studied yang-style T'ai-Chi off and on for 30 years. There is genius in Burnett's distillation of the deepening levels of the practice and his grounded approach to practice itself. I heartily recommend this "Companion" for beginning and advanced students of T'ai Chi wishing to sustain and enrich their study

This is not an instruction book with detailed tai chi history and photo sequences of techniques. No particular tai chi style is advocated over any other. Gene Burnett has significantly added to our understanding of tai chi by boldly asserting that our inner genius, our intuition, can guide us on the tai chi path for fitness and health. Burnett describes how to tune in to your self to discover your particular needs and then select a teacher who can best help you on your path. His biggest contribution is providing a host of well-described, interesting and useful tai chi drills and tips that will complement any tai chi form. This book should be added to your tai chi library.
