Summary: Excellent video.
Comment: I originally bought Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan 1: The Long Form (Gah Gee) several years ago in VCR format. I upgraded to a DVD player and needed to replace the tape with a DVD. The DVD I received contains the same instruction, and is exactly what I wanted. When I received the first VCR tape from E-Spy, there was a 130 page paperback book with pictures of the postures. The book was very helpful in learning the form and I was looking forward to replacing the well worn copy I still have. Sadly, there was no book with this DVD and, it appears, it is no longer included. If you can get a copy of the book it will greatly improve your learning experience.

Summary: Good Video, Technical Issues
Comment: Interesting, comprehensive, and includes a good introduction to principles involved. Unfortunately there were technical problems with the video, and I was traveling and looking after my Dad, so I can't say what their follow-up would have been on replacing the video if I had found time to contact them. I tried a DVD cleaner that did not resolve the problem, which was that in one section the video sped up so much I couldn't follow along. But every part of the video I could follow provided what seemed to be a solid, understandable, logical and flowing sequence of moves. I'm familiar with other forms of Tai Chi, and this seemed to provide both a strong overview and good details. The picture quality and sound quality were good in spite of the issue mentioned.
