This video was everything I was looking for in a Tai Chi video. The filming was very good with a good view of each move so as to be able to learn and master this form. Thanks

I initially found this dvd a little confusing to navigate, but once i figured out how to get to the actual set,it is great. These are exactly the moves I learned, but with loads of information about each one. I think I would have been overwhelmed as a beginner, but i have been studying Tai chi for at least 10 years now, and I love the depth this dvd goes into. I also love being able to watch every motion so that I can improve my technique. Fabulous.

This DVD is great, Dr. Yang seems like a real expert, not some new-age wannabe.
I learned quigong from it successfully, but honestly had trouble following the moves in Taijiquan. I think if you really want to learn it you may need to go to a class.
But for a DVD this seems really great.

Having owned the videotape of this offering from Dr. Yang, I was a little apprehensive about spending money to buy the DVD. I was very satisfied with the information offered on the VHS tape, but having already owned the material, it didn't make sense to purchase a DVD unless there was something added to the material.
Generally, when a company releases a DVD of a previously released VHS tape, there is very little added to the DVD release. Fortunately, in line with the high quality of YMAA publications, this DVD has approximately two hours of material that was not on the original VHS.
Combine this with the ease of access that a DVD offers and the Taijiquan, Classical Yang Style DVD becomes even more of a bargain.
The video offers material and instruction for the following:
The Taijiquan Thirteen Postures
The Fundamental 8 Stances
Taiji Qigong, with stretching and three sets taught
The Yang Style Taijiquan sequence (The long form)
The video also has an extensive lecture on Taijiquan Theory by Dr. Yang as well as a demonstration of Fa Jing and a list of all the movements of the long form.
The lecture is vital to anyone who wants to learn Taijiquan. Merely imitating the postures and movements, which sadly is how many people practice Taijiquan, without an understanding of the philosophy from which Taijiquan developed, would severely limit one's experience.
