Summary: Difficult to follow
Comment: I tried this DVD for the first time this week. I must echo the sentiment of other reviewers in regards to the "mirror" issue. I find it very hard to follow his movements when they are the opposite of what he is describing. Had I read reviews, I would have purchased a different beginning Tai Chi DVD and wish I had. It is high quality video production.
Customer Rating:
Summary: An excellent introduction to tai chi
Comment: After reading some of the more negative reviews I just want to point out that this DVD is not meant for you to build your tai chi vocabulary. Instead it's aim is to focus you on the basics of tai chi, breathing and learning the proper posture to relax yourself and open your meridians.
For those who may find it frustrating, I can understand what you mean. But you just have to stop worrying about doing it and go along with the video. After a few tries you will have picked it up no problem.
As for how I view the product, it does exactly what it sets out to do. It introduces you to the basic concepts of movement and provides for a greater foundation for tai chi later on. I started on this DVD and now am in advanced classes. My children now use this video (ages 3,4,6) and find it simple to use with mommy's guidance. Highly recommended.

Summary: I like this one!
Comment: My doctor recommended this video to me. I have fibromyalgia and the stretching you do with this video is really helpful.

Summary: T'ai Chi Beginning Practice
Comment: I enjoy the style, tone, and pace of this video. I do wish, however, that it were a "mirror" presentation in which the instructor moved his, for example, right arm when he was saying "left." I get myself all tangled up.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Good Intro
Comment: I bought the T'ai Chi Beginning Practice and then bought the Daily Practice by the same guy. I enjoyed both. The instruction is pretty clear. I would recommend buying the Daily Pratice after having gone through the Beginning Practice. The daily builds on what was learned in the beginning practice.
