Tai Chi for Health: Yang Long Form

This is better than other Tai Chi DVDs because it has extensive warm-up exercises plus teaches the long form exercise

When it comes to martial arts and Tai Chi, good quality instructional books and films are very hard to come by, which is one of the reasons I'm so pleased with my purchase. I was particularly impressed with the details and depth that Terence Dunn covered - I'm used to seeing martial arts videos where you are just told how to do a particular technique in a very superficial, sometimes off-handed fashion.

Having said that, I always find it difficult learning a form from the TV, but the basics he covers are great Tai Chi fundamentals. They are a little different from Tai Chi basics I have learned from other masters in the past, but that's always the case with martial arts anyway. What makes it interesting is contrasting the similarities with the differences, and your own style becomes richer for the experience.

This is by far the best long form dvd out there, between class and other DVD's, this is the most informative and easy to follow. I gave it a 4 only because of the really tricky way in which they show you the new move. It will only go on if you hit your remote control next or forward buttons. Which is kinda incoven. if you want to just keep going. On the plus side you can see the move you are learning over and over again until you learn it. Get this and you won't be dissapointed!

Terry Dunn is a superb Tai Chi instructor. His DVD's are easy to follow and highly motivating. The exercises are viewed from several angles so you can copy the move very affectively. The warm-up exercises are very helpful in preventing pulled muscles. Great for beginners and the more advanced.

THE DVD WAS DETAILED TO SHOW THE USER HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF A SELF HELP PHYSICAL WORKOUT. THE MOVES WERE SLOW AND PRECISE , WITH EXPLANATIONS FOR EACH AND EVERY MOVE. ENJOYABLE, WITHOUT ANY INTIMIDATION , MOVING TO THE NEXT SEGMENT IN A SMOOTH FLOW.
