Louis Swaim, leading specialist for the subject and translator of the american version (The Essence And Application of Taijiquan) writes: "Your photo-based illustrations are beautiful. You did a fantastic job of capturing the light and shadow, disclosing detail in Yang Chengfu's postures and expressions. As you can imagine, over the years I have studied the old photos very carefully, so I can appreciate your exquisite eye for important detail that one had to strain to notice in the photos."..." Your efforts to preserve the tradition are admirable."
Jan Silberstorff (20. generation Chen-style) sais:"by the way, the book...is excellent and I have recommended it several times!!"
