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.
