Summary: A simple dvd with helpful results
Comment: I had extensive back surgery 3 years ago. a spinal (l4-l5) fusion that left me quite weak. After a year or two i was still quite weak... chiropractor for 6 months hadnt helped at all, physical therapy was slowly helping, finally I received a few acupuncture treatments and noticed results within the following weeks from using this dvd and after acupuncture.
it was extremely helpful in developing some inner strength to help me start again
now I practice choy gar wushu and I'm getting more and more physically active by the day!
i highly recommend this dvd to help regain the health you may once have had or just to feel better in everyday life

Summary: I Like the Flashcard Set Better
Comment: I don't have the exact same configuration of this product. I have the Simply Tai Chi by Bryant and James with the flash cards and DVD. My set is fantastic because I don't follow physical direction well.
The set with the flash cards allows you to look at the flash card and keep trying one move until you get it straight, unlike the DVD where they give you one chance to execute it right and then they move on. The best thing about the flash cards is they specifically tell you where to move your body parts (with pictures) so if you get confused about which arm goes where, you can pull out a flash card and do it until you've got it down pat.
I don't know anything about Tai Chi form, so I can't speak to that as far as what they are teaching, but if you aren't physically active, the warm-up exercises are wonderful - they are easy on your body but really make you feel like you've done a nice workout at the gym.
I really liked the set I have. If you get the one with the flashcards, you can't go wrong.

Summary: Pretty good for beginners
Comment: I studied tai chi about 12 years ago and wanted to get back into it, but I no longer live in a city that has a tai chi teacher. I picked this up and have found it very useful. It teaches a very short form, and the best thing about it is that is can be performed in 25-35 square feet! Most other form need 70 to 100 or more. You won't be an expert, but it is a great introduction.

Summary: Pretty good introduction to Tai Chi!!!!!
Comment: I have been training Okinawan, Japanese, & Korean Martial Arts since the 70's. I am now becoming interested in researching the internal arts of China, for health. This book, & DVD provides a very good introduction to those interested in starting Tai Chi. The only somewhat negative comment I have is that on the DVD Mr.Bryant speaks a bit fast, and makes it hard to follow along. As an uneducated Chinese stylist, I would highly reccomend it, & would like to hear what others w/ more experience in the Chinese styles think of their book. Overall, I think it is a very good book though!
