This is not my first experience with Tai Chi, Chen or Yang style, but I stopped for a few years and was excited for a refresher. If you are hospitalized, injured, or experience mobility challenges than this might be useful. Otherwise, forget it. I threw it in the trash immediately after reviewing it. If you want to learn Tai Chi or Qi Gong, stop immediately and get something else. "Watered down" falls short as a description for what they are attempting to pass off as Tai Chi.
This is an outstanding DVD and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to become familiar with Tai Chi. I start my mornings with the David-Dorian Ross program. And since I spend a lot of time on Maui the views from Makena Beach with Molokini and Lanai in the background is especial soothing. Good job, gang!
I bought 2 of these - one for me and one for my husband who travels for work. We've challenged each other to do it every day. We're on the right path and he loves how easy this is to practice on the road.
I am a big fan of David-Dorian Ross he has such an easy teaching manner. And like David says "A.M. T'ai Chi is just a great way to start the day!" And P.M. T'ai Chi is a great way to wind down at the end of the day. The 'Stress Relief And Detox portions of the dvd are techniques that really help in a unique fashion to confront the many pressures of living in the 21st.high tech fast paced century by healing yourself from the inside out.
