Summary: Perfect Chi Kung video
Review: An excellent DVD for someone to begin practicing qigong. Easy to learn and beautiful to look at, these exercises are the most effective and popular qigong movements for the last 1,000 years. This DVD also has a lot of information on it for someone interested in learning more and going deeper, with a long instructional section with Master Yang, where he explains exactly how and why these qigong exercises work. He goes into great detail explaining the breathing and qi energy, with specific instruction on many skills, such as generating 'guardian qi' to protect your health. His teaching style is very clear and, balanced with evidence from Western medical society and a lot of historical knowledge, this is the most complete qigong video out there. The subtitles are great, the Glossary of Chinese terms pertaining to Chinese qigong is amazing, and the half hour of trailers for other YMAA Tai Chi and Kung Fu videos is inspiring.

Summary: I agree, excellent DVD!!
Review: I have to agree with the others, this is an amazing DVD, with tons of information. I found it very easy to navigate and the material is easy to follow. I don't think you'd really need to buy anything else to learn this qigong, since the master explains everything so completely. Maybe after you learn this set you might get another book or video from the same author, into intermediate and advanced qigong training. Perfect for beginners! So great to finally understand qigong thanks to this video!

Summary: I agree, excellent DVD!!
Review: I write this in an effort to save you the money I wasted on this DVD. If you presently move any part of your body, in any way, there is nothing you will gain from this DVD.
I've done karate and yoga for over 20 years and hoped this would expand my learning, but found it a complete waste of time.

Summary: Excellent Quality video
Review: This DVD is nicely produced with very high quality digital footage and sound. the instruction is clear and the movements are simple. There are two complete sets of exercises. the first on is sitting, and it is meant to be done right when you wake up to get your Qi energy circulating. I found this to be a surprisingly powerful set of exercises, and its taught me to be much more aware of the energy in my body. The standing set of exercises is more physical, and after only a few months I have found that it has made me very limber and much stronger. I have more muscle and less fat and I feel 'connected' to every cell in my body. I wake up with more energy than I ever have in my life. The greatest part of this DVD is that after you've learned the movements, and seen them demonstrated, Dr. Yang explains each one and gives additional information about each movement that you can get much more out of your practice.

Summary: Fantastic DVD!!
Review: This was my first Qigong video and it still by far the best I've found. This teacher leaves no questions about how or why to do any of the movements and explains everything with clarity in a straightforward manner. It is very much like a Yoga routine with a more internal focus. The movements are simple and can be done sitting or standing, so it is excellent for all ages. Though it seems too simple to be effective, you'll find that after you practice along with this video, you have stretched and toned your entire body. Just doing this gentle exercise a few times a week for 20 minutes a day, I feel very strong and relaxed, I am remembering to breathe deeply and slowly all day and I have a lot of energy. The poetry and music add a nice touch of class to the instruction and the teacher is an absolute pleasure to learn from.

Summary: Good video
Review: With some patience, I came to realize that this DVD is great. I do wish the formatting was faster and easier to get to, but the instruction is great. There is a lot to this subject, so it makes sense that you might want to purchase other material on the subject.
