I don't need alot of instruction so just following along is easy for me
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.

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.

If you want to take your Taiji to the next level
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?

May be hard on older knees
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.

If you're looking for a superficial guide, this is the wrong book for you. Patience and care will be rewarded with a remarkably deep understanding for a single CD

Improvements are still possible
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.

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