Movie Reviews of Simplified Tai chi Chuan with Applications (YMAA)
Movie Review: Apparently there is something New under the sun!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I saw this DVD, I asked myself: "how many Tai Chi Dvd can there be out there?" Many of these DVDs either repeat themselves or are way to weird for me.
This one was a wonderful surprise. It covers all the basic forms; i am not going to repeat the content of the DVD becuase you can read it above.
What I really liked about this DVD - the description of each move is accompanied by different angle: front, back, side. I also enjoyed seeing how each move is actually used in a combat situation. I have always been fascinated by the Tai Chi moves - so gentle and peaceful. I always doubted those who told me that Tai Chi is actually a Martial Art. Now, I know!
The DVD is a keeper! The forms are explained clearly and this makes it easy to follow along.
If yuo're looking for something new about Tai Chi, you found it!
Summary of Simplified Tai chi Chuan with Applications (YMAA)
The 24 Forms and the 48 Forms.BETTER HEALTH IN 20 MINUTES A DAY!
Learn two of the most popular forms of Tai Chi Chuan, the ancient Chinese martial art which is often described as 'moving meditation'. The 'Simplified' 24-posture form is taught and demonstrated by Master Liang, Shou-Yu, with martial fighting applications. The form is shown from several angles, with breathing instructions. The Standard 48-posture form is also demonstrated.
This expanded DVD edition contains much more instruction than the VHS editions. DVD-only Detail Sections for both forms instruct each movement, and offer 'guidelines' for refining your training. Chapter markers for each technique and extensive DVD navigation make it simple to find any posture on the DVD with just a couple clicks, so you can continue your study where you left off.
In only 20 minutes a day, you can gain the health benefits of Tai Chi Chuan: increased strength and energy, better balance, and improved bodily awareness. Excellent for beginning students, those who want a low-impact alternative to jogging or aerobics, and those with limited time for exercise.
This DVD complements the best-selling book Tai Chi Chuan-24 Postures with Applications & 48 Posture Routine, by Liang, Shou-Yu & Wen-Ching Wu (sold separately).
