Rating: Summary: Very good DVD Review: I am a beginner so I am NOT evaluating this one any other level save a beginner. I had a lot of misgivings about the DVDs in this art. One thing was can they communicate or will they communicate the positions well enough and will it be encouraging enough to help me feel it possible to advance.
This is an excellent DVD & worth what I paid for it. It gives you clear shots of the positions, his technic for helping you through the movements is wonderful. You aren't left feeling like you can never accomplish the proper form position and transition. I will stay with Tai Chi and go to purchase the Yang long form in time. It will be a while there is a lot on this DVD.
Again, I am just a beginner so take it for that.
Rating: Summary: The 37 form, not the common 24 posture form Review: Please be aware that this is the Yang 37 posture form and not the more common Yang 24 posture form that is usually taught to beginners. For my complete review see the the VHS version.
Rating: Summary: Superb Review: Tai Chi is one of those art forms that in the end requires a teacher, but this DVD is a superb presentation of the Yang Short Form. With two full presentations of the moves, I found the 'multi-camera angle moves presentation that loop' to be a phenomenal way to understand the complexities of each posture and move. The production features this looping area where each transition point is presented in a fashion that allows you to study it until you're ready to move on. I feel like now, if I take a class, I'll be yards ahead of everyone else. SImply fantastic. That you, Terrence Dunn.
