Phenomenal! The best intro to Tai Chi and 'Internal Arts'.......2006-04-24
"A fantastic four-hour DVD full of exercises, Qigong, meditation, and a short Yang style Tai Chi sequence done to the left and the right. It has simple to follow along to 20 minute, 40 minute or 60 minute Workouts, and a long, brilliant Instructional section with very detailed guidance through every movement, from basic to advanced.
I followed along to the 20 minute version sitting down at first, and have worked up to the 40 minute standing. This program helps you to regain strength and overall health."

Kan and Lii.......2006-04-24
D. Nishimoto "Golden Lion".
Dr Yang returns to the essence of Qiqong and teachings the basic thoughts: breathing, Yi mental focus and movement of the Chi, the chi reserviors and channels, and the importance of relaxation. Dr Yang tells the practitioner too think about why the motiff works, how motiff interacts with Yin and Yang principles, and encourages the practition, too ponder the writings of the masters. Without understanding why Qigong works, Qigong becomes a meanless sequence of movements without any power. These ancient Taoist and Buddhist techniques have been used by millions, practiced daily too help restore health.
Dr Yang instructs in Kan and Lii. Kan is water and Lii represents Fire. Kan is water, which is able to cool the body down making the body more Yin. While Lii is fire which warms the body making it more Yang. When Kan and Lii are adjusted or regulated correctly, Yin and Yang will be balanced an act harmoneously. Chi Kung practitioners believe the body is always too Yang, degenerating and burning out. If you use water to cool down the body, it will slow down the degeneration process and lengthen life. So regulation is required. Wu chi is the balancing of the Yin and Yang forces. In this state nature is peaceful and calm. Wu chi state combines the individuals chi with the chi of nature. This is the goal of Tai Chi.

Boring, not for practising Tai Chi!.......2005-09-11
This DVD as others may mentined is not for someone who is looking for Tai Chi in action!! It is just an overview about Tai Chi history and benefits. I just thought it will show me how to practise and learn Tai Chi movement but that wasn't the case. Although the instructor showed some movement but there was no clear instruction about how to do each movement.
I'm in this DVD..........2005-05-04
I'm in this DVD, along with my instructor Trevor Reynaert and other fellow students.
I should point out that this video is NOT an instructional video for those who wish to learn to Tai Chi. What it IS, is an introduction giving an overview of what Tai Chi is for.
The video is quite relaxing to watch - it includes my instructor (Trevor Reynaert) performing Five Element Qigong alongside various scenes representing the five elements. The music is quite good overall - though some of the Indian tracks seem to jar a little with the Chinese nature of the film - but it pulls it off in a relaxing manner.
The video shows mainly various different types of Qigong movements, and not an actual form in its entirety.
To note once again, it is not an instructional video - simply an overview and discussion of the benefits of Tai Chi, but nonetheless still a good buy if you want to find out a little more about Tai Chi before spending lots of money on expensive books/videos or starting classes.

Pa Kua Chang means eight trigrams fist.......2006-04-24
This esoteric martial arts style is based in Taiji philosophy. Master Liang Shou Yu studied in the mountains as a child, guided by his famous martial artist grandfather. this is the real deal, 3 complete videos on the subject in one DVD, with multi-language subtitles. Great qigong section by Dr Yang Jwing-Ming, and great partner training filmed of Dr Yang and Liang together!
Excellent DVD.

Tai Chi beginners.......2008-01-09
I thought this was ok and have managed to complete the upper body tai chi no problem - looking to go on to the next stage.You can get a chi ball to add a bit of weight which makes it a tad harder.
Please..........2007-03-17
Really stank. Sorry but it just did. Not sure what the man had in mind but this was not a very useful video. Another example of why not to try and teach taiji on video.
