You can't reap the amazing benefits of
Tai Chi from vague
"step to the left" generalizations!
(Watch sample video below.)
When your teacher is facing you and steps to his left, he's moving to YOUR right.
But if you're watching his back, some details are hidden.
Our DVD solves this problem with side-by-side, synchronized front-and-back views.
Very nice!
Slow Motion Practice
The practice segments are in slow-motion, with on-screen text prompts
to almost guarantee your mastery!
(Watch sample video below.)
Detailed Warmup Exercises
Warmup exercises are important to avoid strain. This section, missing in most other Tai Chi DVDs, is so enjoyable, you may not want to stop!
All Tai Chi movements include Silk Reeling elements: they're like scales for a serious piano player, or
sharpening a knife
for a good cook.
Master the Silk Reeling basics
and Tai Chi mastery is assurred.
Musical Accompaniment
The right kind of music can help you focus.
We've included music performed on authentic Chinese flutes to contribute
to your learning experience.
Coaching Approach
A coach provides extra, specialized or private training. Good coaches are patient and encouraging.
It seems to be a gift. Unfortunately, the instructors on many Tai Chi DVDs lack this gift. Notice Sean's patient and encouraging touch in the sample clip.
That is, you watch an accomplished performer doing Tai Chi, but he/she doesn't break it down into details and explain them so that YOU can do them.
A Sample Video (from the Chen Style 18 Form)
Three clips extracted from the fifth movement, "Single Whip"
illustrate how you're coached toward Tai Chi mastery on both DVDs.
Each movement is taught in three steps. First, the Demonstration, then the Detailed Instructions, then your practice is guided in the Split Screen, Slow Motion section with on-screen prompts. (The practice session repeats three times automatically.)
[By the way, the birds you hear in the Demonstration are live; that is, they accompanied the outdoor demonstration as it was filmed on the Chesapeake Bay.]

Chen Style or Yang Style?
Chen Style is the oldest and parent form of the five main tai chi styles, and the Eighteen Movement Essence Form is perfect for beginners. Yet, it can challenge a practioner for a lifetime.
The Yang 24 is the most popular, the most widely practiced Tai Chi form in the world.
