Excellent instruction video of this invigorating exercise
[….] There are a couple mistakes in regards to left-right positioning (which are quickly rectified through continual practice) and the whole ‘mirror-movement’ is challenging—-at first. But for someone serious about learning the basics of Tai Chi Ch’uan, you really cannot go wrong here. You just need three things: enough space to practice (10’ by ’10 is optimum), enthusiasm, and patience.Tai Chi Ch’uan, translated as ‘supreme ultimate boxing’, is an ancient Chinese exercise designed to maintain flexibility, increase mental awareness, and cultivate ‘Chi’, i.e. lifeforce. Practice of this martial art strengthens the muscles of the entire body, limbers the joints, teaches one correct posture, balance and breathing, and gives the practitioner a calm ‘natural high’ far more subtle and rewarding than the usual methods (caffeine, sugar, alcohol). There are three ways to learn the art: through a certified instructor (the best), off a video such as this (also recommended), or from a book (not recommended at all). And among the video selection, Terry Dunn’s T’ai Chi for Health is among the very best.The video begins with Terry practicing the Yang Long Form at dawn on a beach while a relaxed angle-American voice explains the basic concepts of Taoist philosophy and extols the benefits of long-term Tai Chi practice. Very classy. The meat of the video is in three sections: 1) the basic postures and warm-up stretches (30 minutes), 2) instruction of the 108 Yang Long Form movements (60 minutes), 3) additional exercises (15 minutes). A long conclusion showpiece has Terry practicing the entire form in a dimly lit studio.The production and presentation of this video are top-notch. Terry Dunn is a calm and graceful teacher with a mellow, easy-on-the-ears voice; the atmospheric music by Vangelis compliments the forms very well. The philosophical concepts are presented in an understandable way for those not acquainted with Eastern thought. Though there are a few neglected areas, including the history of Tai Chi’s development (it originally begun as Dim-Mak, or ‘death-point striking’) and its sword forms, for those interested in increasing their health in a graceful, gentle way, I highly recommend this tape. I’ve been using it for five years and am _fully_ satisfied with the results.

Very well produced
This Yang Style Long form Tai Chi is well produced and structured in a way for easy learning. There are different sections that you can refer to and a bonus section with only three different techniques that are not complicated and can be done right away which left me with a feeling of relaxation. This is not something that you can rush through because it is a method that has to be memorized and practiced. I have another DVD by another Tai Chi practioner that is the “short form” but I wanted this one as well once I get to a higher level. The first 56 moves in this DVD is the short form with some variation to the other DVD that I have. So you don’t have to try to learn all 102 movements to feel accomplished. The bonus section is worth the price. It will make you feel like David Carradine for those of you who remember the TV show – Kung Fu.

Excellent instructional video!
This was the first Tai Chi video I had bought about 20 years ago on VCR tape (never could find the time then to go beyond the first few steps) and as we’re DVD now I tried a different one and It moved way to fast for me and my kids, almost showboating the other instructors skills. So I tried to remember the name of my old lost VRC tape and couldn’t at first so I looked through many many DVD’s on Amazon until I recognized the familiar blue cover. I really like this video as the instructor has a very slow and understanding pace for the novice making it easy for me and my 6 year old daughters to follow. Ironically I had taken up karate as a teenager and never advanced as I hated the kata’s and now 30+ years later that’s precisely what I want to learn. I just signed up my girls for karate lessons and looks like I’ll be doing the Tai CHi solo now! Jody Koval

accidentally purchased this
I was at Borders looking for a Tai Chi DVD. Without prior experience I couldn’t decide which to buy, but selected this one. Very detailed, explains each move, then all together at the end. So, once learned, you skip to the end and can work through the entire sequence with a pro, whenever you choose. Good stuff. I later learned that this particular video was voted as one of the top rated Tai Chi videos currently available. A few years later, I purchased 2 additional dvds by different instructors, and was surprised at the stark contrast. Each spent the entire video, 45 to 60 min, covering 1 or 2 principles, which Terrance had adequately explained in 2-3 minutes. I was able to return them, thankfully and will stick with Terrance. **

Tai Chi
I purchased this because it has been a tremendous help to my son. He has had 3 back surgeries and has been unable able to do a whole lot. His comments were that this was the first time he was able to exercise without it putting him in bed disabled with pain for 2 days. He has his own copy.I saw this demonstrated and they said it could help with balance issues also. As a Senior now with a knee replacement, it looks like something I can work at.The sender did a great job of getting this to me in a very timely manner. It has been a good purchase for me. Thanks so much.
