Review of Tai Chi For Diabetes (DVD)

Tai Chi Instructional 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 dvd then has a section that shows the full form presented at full speed and the form is ...

In order to learn Tai Chi, I really do suggest that you go to a certified teacher. I do not recommend books or DVD's saying that you can learn the form through them, even though I have never tried them. I'm saying this, because if you are doing a movement incorrectly you won't have anyone telling you that you are doing it wrong....and beleive me, that is indispensable. Finally, I wish to say that I really do recommend Tai Chi. It is very benefitial both ...
