Movie Reviews of Sunrise Tai Chi
Movie Review: Outstanding instruction!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Have spent the past month evaluating the "Sunrise Tai Chi" DVD by Ramel Rones, and am much impressed with everything from production values to the quality of instruction.
DVD is split into 3 main sections: Demonstration, Instruction, and Workout. "Demonstration" shows Rones going through each of the exercises with a flute & harp playing in the background (with the notable exception of some cool Asian trip-hop beats during a few of the more aerobic exercises -- sadly, I was unable to find the musical credits). "Instruction" has Rones describe the proper execution of each exercise in a highly detailed and specific manner -- he discusses and demonstrates a variety of subtleties that could not be adequately described on the printed page, and this information will be of great value to instructors who wish to teach these movements to others. "Workout" is divided into 20, 40, or 60 minute workouts, with your choice of either traditional flute & harp or piano music in the background.
Ramel Rones is a Master instructor, and this is quite possibly the finest instructional DVD I've hat the privilege to view and practice. Best implemented with a widescreen or projection television (which I do not have) . . . somewhat frustrating on a laptop screen (but fortunately there is a large screen TV with DVD deck at work).
Highly recommended!
Movie Review: great dvd, with tons of info
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first Tai Chi DVD, and after my first try I was amazed and am now addicted to it. I regularly do Yoga but after trying Tai Chi , I'm hooked. This DVD is so relaxing and energizing, and full of great information.
I skimmed through the DVD at first then I watched the whole thing. Mr Rones gives you really great instructions. There is a specific instruction section that lets you understand and try to learn the different techniques associated with Tai Chi. If you are a beginner I suggest you put some time aside and try to watch the entire DVD before you begin. to get instructions and a basic understanding.
The DVD lets you choose your music and I just love watching it because it's very relaxing and soothing. I absolutely am addicted to this and am looking forward to better my Basic Tai Chi skills through this DVD. Can't wait to try it again after work when I get home. I do this any time of the day and I absolutely love it! It helps me relieve all of my stress and tension from work.
I'm definately looking into getting his books and other DVD's as well.
Movie Review: Wow!!! I feel So much better!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Tai Chi DVD is wonderful. I have only done the introductory part and it has helped my balance and legs already. I also bought Mr. Rones Sunset Tai Chi to do before I go to bed and that has helped relieve tension in my sholder and neck muscles.
The exercises in the beginning take over an hour to do but are done slowly enough so a novice can see how to do them. Some of are basic stretch exercises others zero in on specific muscle groups and all of them make me feel better. In spite of being introductory, I can only do them every other day. But my disposition is improving -- I am happier and have more energy and this after only a couple of weeks. It helps my arthritis too. I am more flexible.
I still havn't tried or looked at the rest of the dvd where actual T'ai Chi exercises are put together in a seamless flowing field of energy and movement. However, for the part I am working on, I do want to say, Thank you, Mr. Rones!!!
Movie Review: Excellent for returning to good health
Summary: 5 Stars
I have recently been diagnosed with Graves Disease (a Thyroid autoimmune disease) and many books I am reading recommend Tai Chi as a proven help to sufferers.
I find this DVD excellent for beginners, my husband is learning it with me. Just watching it makes you relax!! He takes you through every step very thoroughly and with excellent descriptions of how to achieve and what you will gain, including animations of Qi energy. It is very uncommercialised, I just feel like I am in a room one on one with the instructor, which I really like.
There is just so much content on here it is excellent value and I am sure will be our Tai Chi bible for many years to come. There is also a great links page to his website, where he has many interesting items, including clothing and music, you can purchase.
Highly recommended if you want to learn Tau Chi from a Master properly, not just because it's the latest 'thing to do'!
Movie Review: Best money I ever spent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD has greatly improved my quality of life. I bought it a year ago, and am so glad I did. It provided me with everything I needed to start practicing Tai Chi, and even more. Ramel Rones is an excellent teacher, down-to-earth, but passionate about his subject. His instruction is thorough, but always clear and easy to follow. He explains every movement in the form in detail. The warm-up and breathing exercises are worth the price of the DVD alone. Since beginning the program, I have found that I have grown stronger, and my balance has improved. When I started with the DVD, I had difficulty finishing the 20 minute program, but am now capable of following the 60 minute workout. The workout section offers variations for intermediate and advanced students, which has allowed me to fine-tune my practice, and grow with the DVD. Thanks Ramel Rones and YMAA for sharing the ancient Chinese healing arts!
