Qigong Beginning Practice DVD

Advantages: packed full with techniques and information; a serious well presented resource
Disadvantages: some may find it pricey (although not if you remember the almost 4 hours viewing time!)

Also on the DVD there are a few short films - 'A Very peak Practice - 2000 Tour Intro Film', 'Episode One - The Last Intro - 2002 tour intro film', a hidden Sub Sub documentary, and a Doves documentary. There are also some photo galleries and screensaver and the suchlike for if you watch the DVD on your computer. Playing the DVD I apologise for the list-like form of this section of review, but I think it's worth laying out exactly what this DVD contains or else my review will become a bit confusing!
