Keeps you interested while teaching the fundamental principles December 27, 2007

This DVD offers the beginner a way to understand the principles that are essential to Tai Chi practice whithout being overwhelmed. Simple practice sessions with this DVD allow the practitioner to make measurable progress in their own Tai Chi. The demonstrations with the mirrors make this by far the easiest DVD to follow that I have tried. The simple instructions in posture and breathing are enough to make this eries worth it. Consider the companion book as weill since it has some extra warm up exercises that are fun and challenging.
Fundamentals- a great way to begin T'ai Chi (with some caveats) September 6, 2007

"T'ai chi fundamentals" is a system developed in the 1990's in Madison, Wisconsin, by Tricia Yu. It breaks down the core movements that are used in the traditional t'ai chi form and teaches them in such a way that the beginner is able to concentrate on great technique from the outset. In other words, it is not the traditional form, but facilitates learning it. There are very specific ways to breathe, stand, bear weight, balance, etc, in t'ai chi, and these can be overwhelming to Westerners since they're so different from the way we usually tend to breathe, stand, etc. So I think the Fundamentals are a really good way to learn.
I am studying T'ai Chi Fundamentals with a colleague of Tricia Yu, so I'm getting the training right from the dragon's mouth, you might say. I'm using this video to practice on my own, and thus it's extremely helpful. I can see, however, that it might not be so helpful to one who is trying to learn on one's own, without a teacher. It moves pretty fast and doesn't spend a lot of time on details. The instruction almost seems to assume that you're practicing something already learned, rather than learning afresh.
I think this would work best as a reinforcement/practice tool for someone who is learning this system.
