Description
The 24 Forms and the 48 Forms. BETTER HEALTH IN 20 MINUTES A DAY! Learn two of the most popular forms of Tai Chi Chuan, the ancient Chinese martial art which is often described as `moving meditation'. The `Simplified' 24-posture form is taught and demonstrated by Master Liang, Shou-Yu, with martial fighting applications. The form is shown from several angles, with breathing instructions. The Standard 48-posture form is also demonstrated. This expanded DVD edition contains much more instruction than the VHS editions. DVD-only Detail Sections for both forms instruct each movement, and offer `guidelines' for refining your training. Chapter markers for each technique and extensive DVD navigation make it simple to find any posture on the DVD with just a couple clicks, so you can continue your study where you left off. In only 20 minutes a day, you can gain the health benefits of Tai Chi Chuan: increased strength and energy, better balance, and improved bodily awareness. Excellent for beginning students, those who want a low-impact alternative to jogging or aerobics, and those with limited time for exercise. This DVD complements the best-selling book Tai Chi Chuan—24 Postures with Applications & 48 Posture Routine, by Liang, Shou-Yu & Wen-Ching Wu (sold separately). Special Features: Over 100 Chapter sections • Narration: English or French • Multi-Language Menus and Subtitles: English, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, & French • History of Tai Chi Chuan sections • Slideshows of Master Liang demonstrating correct posture alignment • Interactive YMAA Product Catalog with previews of all YMAA video titles.

 Exceptional!! Meets and exceeds expectatons! August 17, 2008

Exceptional! the instruction... camera angles offered, still photo slide show... (okay, I did not like the music. But hey, it's a Tai Chi DVD, the music comes with the genre.) I cannot focus my mind on one aspect of this production that out shines any other.
This DVD is for eveyone interested in Tai Chi, at any level. But, most especially, for those interested in Tai Chi with martial arts applications.
The DVD is exceptionally well made and easy to use. It offers a still photo slide show for beginners looking to perform the moves properly. The Tai Chi 24 postures are well demonstrated and easily identified as "real world martial arts applications". If, as a beginner, you don't feel you have quite grasped the posture, as a martial application. There is a section for that. Aren't quite getting the motion from one camera angle? Try another.
If you are looking for a well taught Tai Chi DVD, with or without martial arts applications, this one will satisfy your needs

This is a very nice DVD, but I am having trouble following the steps.I seem to do fine until the instructor turns around and then I get confused. Has anyone else had this problem? When you are facing the instructor do you mirror his movements or try to use the same leg and arm moevments he uses? Any help would be appreciated.
Very pleased with my purchase July 17, 2008
I love the different views & angles. It helped me a lot when I practice on my own. I totally recommend this video.
thanks! June 1, 2008

It is very hard for me to relax and tai chi helps me keep my mind clear of other things because i am concentrating on the movements. I would recommend this dvd for anyone who wants to learn tai chi. I have had many begining tai chi videos but this one takes the cake!
