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.

- Tai chi Chuan cd and book
I have taken a few tai chi classes and found it difficult to be able to make the classes each week.So my teacher suggested I get this cd and the book in order to continue learning tai chi.I find it helpful and easy to follow.The price was reasonable, less than the cost of one lesson at the work out center.

- Yang 24 form w/Combative Applications
This video is awesome.Worth every penny.
The entire 24 form is run completely through 2 times at different angles, 1 more time to showing breathing specifics while doing the entire form.Then some martial applications are covered.Finally, the individual movements are covered one by one.The approach is logical... follow the person on your tv through the form 3 times fully, then show each movement with at least one real live defense application, then focus on each movement by itself(solo). ...

Rating: - Exceptional!!Meets and exceeds expectatons!
Exceptional!the instruction... camera angles offered, still photo slide show... (okay, I did not like the music. But hey, it's a Tai Chi DVD, the music comes with the genre.) I cannot focus my mind on one aspect of this production that out shines any other.
This DVD is for eveyone interested in Tai Chi, at any level.But, most especially, for those interested in Tai Chi with martial arts applications.
The DVD is exceptionally well made and easy to use.It offers a still photo slide ... Read More
Rating: - Very nice DVD
This is a very nice DVD, but I am having trouble following the steps.I seem to do fine until the instructor turns around and then I get confused. Has anyone else had this problem? When you are facing the instructor do you mirror his movements or try to use the same leg and arm moevments he uses? Any help would be appreciated.
