Wonderful video, easy to follow.
I had just started taking Tai Chi classes when I decided to buy this video so I could catch up to the class that already knew the Yang 24. Master Pei has a soothing voice, goes very slowly, then repeats the move several times. Each of the 8 lessons covers all 24 moves in Yang style. So you might learn 2-3 moves in the lesson. At the end of the lesson he puts those 2-3 moves together. Practicing at home with this DVD has made it easier to learn, as some of the forms have multiple parts, but Master Pei breaks them down into small sections to learn a little at a time.I've also learned Qigong 8 brocades. The Qigong DVD has a couple of different movements from the Qigong I learned, but there are many Qigong movements, and they are all wonderful.He is facing front on the TaiChi video. Would love to see a back view option. There is a back view option on the Qigong DVD.

Great video for those beginners of Tai Chi. Includes videos of Qi Gong.
Bought this video to help me as just started to renew my interest in Tai Chi. This is a good video for those who want to learn the Yang style 24 posture Tai Chi. The instructor is very knowledgeable. In addition, instructor goes through the steps slowly and repeatedly, which I think is the best way to learn Tai Chi. Years ago I had practiced the 108 posture form Tai Chi. If you desire to learn 108 posture, this is a good video to help you with the first 24 postures.

Very detailed
Tai Chi is NOT for people who want a heart pumping, weight lifting cardio workout. But it IS a workout! I’ve tried to learn it many times over the years (I actually have a black belt in another form of martial art) and gave up for various reasons. Recently I took a class from my acupuncturist and it was excellent, but we agreed to stop because I was his only student! I like Chris Pei’s instruction; he is very thorough and points out common beginner errors. You have to be patient and willing to go slowly and master each step. His diction is good and there are subtitles. The background scenery is beautiful and soothing. You can learn one move, then the next day choose the next move from the menu. The final menu option is the full form, to be followed after you feel confident. If I have one complaint, it is that the moves are NOT mirror image. That’s strange, because the exercises on the Qi Gong dvd are all mirror image. I really love that DVD!

Great 2 in 1 DVD
Easy and slow exercises but you will feel it later. Will help for balance and breathing correctly. I'm 72 and it was easy to follow the moves and you will feel it in your muscles later,which is a good thing.
