Movie Reviews of Sunrise Tai Chi (YMAA) DVD

Movie Review: A major disappointment. Look elsewhere if you want to do tai chi
Summary: 1 Stars

I don't normally review products. But my disappointment in this product prompts me to do so.
1. The DVD is hard to navigate. To find actual instruction for Tai chi moves - one has to hunt through too many different levels in the menu.
2. The instruction for the tai chi moves once you find them is minimal.
3. The DVD does not teach you anywhere near all 24 moves of tai-chi
4. The DVD is more a easy/going touchy feely way to wake up - more stretch and breath than anything.
5. It's very very repetitive.
6. While the outdoors scenes are pretty, the director rarely moves the camera in an effort to guide you towards further education.

I will be sending the DVD back. I suggest you look elsewhere as I will for guidance in tai-chi.
The search continues.

Summary of Sunrise Tai Chi (YMAA) DVD

AWAKEN, HEAL, AND STRENGTHEN YOUR BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT

Let the sun shine in! Master-teacher Ramel Rones gently guides you through the morning with a series of powerful mind/body exercises that awaken the senses, stimulate the mind, and fill your body and Spirit with abundant energy.

Captured in high-definition at the beautiful Harvard University Arboretum, this simplified, short Tai Chi sequence is practiced to both the left and right for balance. Sunrise Tai Chi was created as a comprehensive introduction to authentic Tai Chi, which will allow you to fine-tune your practice before moving on to more complex Tai Chi. It includes suggestions for intermediate and advanced students, to help you grow and improve over time.

Each day, millions of people worldwide practice Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan), which has been known for centuries to promote deep relaxation, excellent health, & to prevent injuries & illness. The movements in Sunrise Tai Chi will help you to loosen & build your muscles, tendons & ligaments, which will improve your circulation of blood & Qi energy. The program also teaches you to find balance between strength & flexibility, increase bone density, & massage the internal organs, improving your quality of life & daily physical performance.
