Tai Chi Qigong

I have other YMAA dvd's by Dr. Yang so I am familiar with the teaching format, which is minimalist. I don't need alot of instruction so just following along is easy for me. However, if you are the kind that needs lots of verbal instruction this dvd might not be for you. The book is excellent. The history of Tai Chi and Qigong is very interesting. There are lengthy explanations of the moves on the dvd.

After learning a form you have a foundation in taiji. This would be a good way of taking what you have learned to a higher level instead of immediately trying to learn another form. By concentrating on what I had already learned and incorporating these QiGong exerises into my daily practice I developed a better understanding of taiji. I was able to apply this when I branched out and leaned new sets. However... a beginner might become overwhelmed with advanced routines without first building a foundation in taiji?

As a martial art enthusiast i bought this dvd without much idea of Taiji qigong. In isolation, this dvd appeared informative but not 100% impressive. when i learnt more and more about chinese martial arts, its techniques,philosophy etc and saw other dvds of YMAA production by dr. yang the importance of various exercises shown in this dvd was understood propoerly.

I bought this for my 80 year old mom, who expressed interest in learning Tai Chi. It seemed to be a type of exercise she could do that would not get her bad heart pumping too hard, yet still gives her benefits of exercise. She was not able to do some of the moves because it hurt her knees to lunge. Unfortunately, I had to return it for that reason only.

Although this is a good DVD, I missed the mark ordering it, as it was not what I was looking for. Amazon graciously allowed me to return it. I ordered Tai Chi Simplified, also from YMAA, and am using it to learn the 48 posture routine. Amazon is the best.

I found it to be very good. I think anyone who would like to learn Tai Chi Qigong will find it to be helpful.

I would have appreciated a French sound track.What is great in this DVD is the dual display for many movements (front and side) but sometimes the two are not synchronized making it difficult to analyse.

The DVD is fine, but I was hoping to learn more new things. This is a good beginner DVD.

This book is clear and concise. I recommend ordering the DVD as it allows the practitioner to see exactly how to move and breathe.

Disappointed, this DVD needs the extension of a book I don't have, was not mentioned, usually love all DVD from Dr. Yang, guess I did not choose the right one for this one. No rear view, continuous without pause, narration over the moves, will have to repurchase a more friendly version with Lee Holden,

Lots of in depth information about the energy flow behind the movements and a clear description of how to do them.

a useful compliment to my regular classes

il a aucun sous titre et audio en français contrairement a la description du produit
