It emphasizes relaxation, breath control, visual and mental concentration, and slow, balanced movement, explains the voiceover in T'ai Chi for Health: Yang Short Form during a 10-minute explication of the qualities, philosophy, and health benefits of t'ai chi. Meanwhile the instructor, Terence Dunn, practices on a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean. Dunn teaches 10 minutes of breathing and warm-up exercises. Next is a 30-minute introduction to the basic postures, then a full hour of step-by-step instruction and practice of the 37 postures of the Yang Short Form. The video ends with an eight-minute demonstration of the complete Yang Short Form, showing how the postures flow together. Altogether, you get two full hours in this unusually complete training video. The beginner gets all the instruction needed to start practicing, and ongoing students get an ideal setting for practice and improvement. --Joan Price Customers who bought this item also bought Simplified Tai chi Chuan with Applications (YMAA) Qigong Beginning Practice Sunrise Tai Chi (YMAA) DVD Eight Simple Qigong Exercises For Health - The Eight (8) Pieces of Brocade (YMAA) DVD Tai Chi Chuan: 24 & 48 Postures with Martial Applications Customer Reviews for: T'ai Chi for Health: Yang Short Form 37 Form Rating - Difficult to learn from this DVD (discusses alternatives) Dunn's form is great, and it's beautiful to watch him, but if you've ever been to a Tai Chi (or a dance) class, you'll know that it's almost impossible to learn this sort of movement when the instructor is facing you, as is the case throughout the video. You really need to be behind the instructor so that your right is his/her right and vice versa. Also, and annoyingly, the run-through of the full form is photographed in such a way that you often ... Read More Rating - Tai Chi DVD The DVD is a good way to go over the moves. I would notrecommend it for someone who is not working with an instructor. But it is an outstanding addendum to a class or review for someone who needs a refresher. Rating - Slow but sure As another reviewer pointed out, this is not an exercise video. It is an instructional video that divides into 4 parts. First, a demonstration of the form accompanied by a monologue about the history and purpose of T'ai Chi. Then, a long warmup with emphasis on introduction to the basic postures of the form. Third, 37 lessons divided into 49 parts. Finally, all the parts are again demonstrated in one continuous movement. At the very end of the ... Read More Rating - Appreciated in the North woods... I had the long form version on video tape originally, and to be honest with the business in my life, I rarely got beyond the warm up exercises...for gravity alone sufficed with what Terence was doing. I ordered the short form dvd after checking out various Tai Chi videos thru rental outlets.
