Editorial Reviews:

If you've ever been curious about the health benefits of tai chi, the meditative martial art with legendary life-extending and energy-boosting powers, this video offers you an easy starting point. David Carradine and renowned master Arnold Tayam guide beginners through a thorough, 30-minute workout, beginning with simple stretches and gradually moving up to an abbreviated, easy-to-follow version of the whole tai chi form. Throughout, less emphasis is placed on the unusual names for the poses than on how they should feel on the inside and how they should look from the outside. The more complicated moves are shown repeatedly from different angles, sometimes shot from two positions at once to make it easier for viewers to follow at home. As well as showing the physical moves, Carradine's soothing narration guides students through the medical benefits of each exercise and the all-important inner visualizations that accompany each stance, from the careful pattern of breathing or an imaginary ball of glowing energy held between the hands. Hardcore martial artists might find the gentle pace of this video too easy-going for them, although the self-defense potential of some of the exercises is obvious. This workout (like its tranquil companion piece, Tai Chi for the Mind), isn't about tai chi as a fighting style; it's about a smooth, non-strenuous workout suitable for people of any age and in any physical condition. --Grant Balfour

Summary: Workouts after Work
Comment: I'm a cashier at a grocery store, and i was frist turned to this tape when my mother ordered it for me through a magazine i think. It sat on my shelf for a good few months before i popped it in and decided to work out, it was difficult to follow first but after trial and error, i got it all down. I used this tape to help me lose weight and I watch it once in the morning and twice in the evening after work to relieve my tension, and it's help me lose alot of weight and build much more confidence!!! I adore this tape so much and I will keep on buying more of his videos.

Summary: Try something else
Comment: This video (note, only 30 minutes long) suffers from poor camera work...angles from the rear are rare and make the forms tough to follow.

Carradine's goofy eletric blue suit doesn't help anything either.
