An Introduction To Tai Chi Chi Kung DVD

Advantages: Easy to learn and understand.
Disadvantages: None...

...I found this dvd to be very informative and with over 7 hours of material on two dvds contains a lot of information regarding Tai Chi. The dvds are also filmed live so the infomation is easily undertood with no voice overs. Both Yang and Chen style Tai Chi are covered with a dvd specifically for each style and there is also a basic Qi Gong style covered. On both of the dvds, there is a section for basic training which covers the basic hand and feet movements as well as basic footwork for that particular style of Tai Chi. There is then a section for all of the applications for the Tai Chi style which shows Master Wong demonstrating the techniques on a student wearing full body so that the techniques can be performed with proper force.

...There are many types of Martial Arts/Kung Fu film including The genre setters like: the Once upon a time in China series The great fight films: Fist of Legend, Tai Chi Master - Jet Li Prodigal Son - Sammo Hung Warriors two The classics (those that suck part 1): (I'll probably get flamed for this:-) Shaw brothers Those that suck part 2: Any American Kung Fu film except maybe ONE: Drive with Mark Dacascos and Kadeem Hardison is one of those rare films which isn't widely known (much like Mistery Men), but is a gem of a film).

Kadeem Hardison is the poor sap who gets involved just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nothing original! Just great fight scenes that would give Jet Li a run for his money and use of props... Read review
