Description:
The 24 Forms and the 48 Forms.
BETTER HEALTH IN 20 MINUTES A DAY!
Learn two of the most popular forms of Tai Chi Chuan, the ancient Chinese martial art which is often described as `moving meditation'. The `Simplified' 24-posture form is taught and demonstrated by Master Liang, Shou-Yu, with martial fighting applications. The form is shown from several angles, with breathing instructions. The Standard 48-posture form is also demonstrated.
This expanded DVD edition contains much more instruction than the VHS editions. DVD-only Detail Sections for both forms instruct each movement, and offer `guidelines' for refining your training. Chapter markers for each technique and extensive DVD navigation make it simple to find any posture on the DVD with just a couple clicks, so you can continue your study where you left off.
In only 20 minutes a day, you can gain the health benefits of Tai Chi Chuan: increased strength and energy, better balance, and improved bodily awareness. Excellent for beginning students, those who want a low-impact alternative to jogging or aerobics, and those with limited time for exercise.
This DVD complements the best-selling book Tai Chi Chuan—24 Postures with Applications & 48 Posture Routine, by Liang, Shou-Yu & Wen-Ching Wu (sold separately).
Special Features: Over 100 Chapter sections • Narration: English or French • Multi-Language Menus and Subtitles: English, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, & French • History of Tai Chi Chuan sections • Slideshows of Master Liang demonstrating correct posture alignment • Interactive YMAA Product Catalog with previews of all YMAA video titles.

- Apparently there is something New under the sun!
When I saw this DVD, I asked myself: "how many Tai Chi Dvd can there be out there?" Many of these DVDs either repeat themselves or are way to weird for me.
This one was a wonderful surprise. It covers all the basic forms; i am not going to repeat the content of the DVD becuase you can read it above.
What I really liked about this DVD - the description of each move is accompanied by different angle: front, back, side. I also enjoyed seeing how each move is actually used ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent companion study guide
Almost all martial artists will say that you need a good instructor. But having a video or DVD at home that can help you remember or get through the rough spots is very helpful.
I was given a copy of the DVD Simplified Tai Chi Chuan featuring Master Liang, Shou-Yu for Tai Chi Day (thanks Barbara). It is an excellent companion study guide, well organized and detailed on both the Simplified 24 form and the Standard 48 form.

Rating: - A welcome surprise!
I practice Chen and Yang styles of Tai Chi. Just started taking a seminar on the 24 form. With this dvd I'm getting so much more out of the seminars it's amazing. I don't have a very good memory for movement sequence and have always been frustrated when I get stuck practicing a new form and have to wait for help. The only way to get better is to practice, but it's not just "practice makes perfect", it's "perfect practice makes perfect".
Anybody taking a class or seminar will definitely benefit ... Read More
Rating: - Great Value and Literally Loaded With Sound and Valid Information
Well I had better start off this review by first stating emphatically that YMAA is absolutely fantastic on their DVD's, not only on the wealth of information that is included in every one, but also the tremendous value you get for your money. I mean really now, where else can you get a 2 ½ hour long DVD filled with great and useful information on Tai Chi for a mere thirty bucks? I have paid almost as much for a DVD that wasn't even 30 minutes long. You can't go wrong with this, or really any DVD from ... Read More
