- JkcGreat VideoHelen Liang does an excellent job of explaining the movements. I really feel this may be one of the best videos out there for beginners of Tai Chi. It may take two to three runs of this video to get the movements down, and my first time doing this video I had to split it into two separate viewings where I did the last thirty minutes of this hour and forty-eight minute video on a later day. Next time, I feel I should be able to make it through the whole video at once since I now have an idea of what the moves feel like and their general execution. Be patient with yourself the first time you try Tai Chi as it involves movement that requires proper execution to maintain balance and form, something that requires practice.
Like I've already mentioned, Helen does a good job of explaining these movements, and in doing so the whole video is her showing the various forms. In other words, this video only shows each form separately, but rest assured that once you get the movements down, it will be easy to connect them into a sequence. Helen first breaks down each specific form into parts, and then puts the respective parts together into one whole fluid movement several times for you to follow along. Some people seemed to have complained that there is not an actual sequence, and to that I respond that if there were this would be a three hour DVD. An hour and forty-eight minutes of instruction on form is phenomenal for a beginner, and once you have the form down, you can get any Tai Chi video to follow along to a sequence. With this being said, having taken my time in properly doing the various forms, I feel like I benefited a lot without actually doing a sequence. This is most probably because these movements are new to me and thus my body has not built up a tolerance yet, or cleared out stagnant Chi all the way, and therefore an effect was felt. Learning something new does not mean that there is no benefit to be gained from the practice just because you aren't a Master yet ;). (yes, I am an educator, so I know how the process of learning goes and can assure you there is never any reason to be frustrated and that practice does, in fact, make perfect :) Stay dedicated, enjoy the learning process, and reap the rewards. Great Video! - Ell9677Excellent instructionI highly recommend this video for beginners. Helen Liang does a fantastic job explaining the moves, proper breathing techniques, and the health benefits of tai chi. After watching a well-known tai chi teacher on YouTube, I was never certain about my form and execution. After purchasing this DVD with Helen Liang, I KNOW I am completing the moves correctly. Although the DVD covers 10 movements, the DVD is rather long. I completed it over two days and I’d recommend this to anyone purchasing this DVD. I have found tai chi to help with flexibility, balance, minor aches, and relaxation. I haven’t found a better teacher for beginners. I have also purchased her 24 tai chi DVD.
- Student_of_LifeWonderful! I Feel The Difference In My Health and BalanceHelen is an excellent teacher. She takes you step by step explaining correct posture and movement. Many teachers I have had in the past (both tai chi and martial arts) do not teach the fundamental well at all which has lead to injuries for me and many others I know. Helen does what she can to help you prevent those injuries by actually teaching you the fundamentals, good posture and form.
Thanks to this DVD alone, my injuries (tendonitis and muscle issues I got from a few years of bad training) are healing much better. Obviously, I dumped all of my old training and will never go back to it. It is also becoming habit to have relaxed shoulders and neck thanks to this DVD. And other wonderful effects such as being more calm.
I am just starting to go through Helens 24 tai chi form DVD. I am loving this one too. Her instruction is again very excellent. I am very thankful that she has shared her knowledge and teaching skills with the world. She knows what she is talking about.
I super recommend this DVD. I am glad that I learned from this DVD first before going on to her 24 tai chi form, as it is a good foundation. And everything I have learned from this DVD applies to what you will do in the 24 form DVD. - Kindle CustomerThis video is easy to follow.This video for ES you to slow down follow direction and breath. Easy to follow and easy to leatn, I’m able to do this routine without the video but often use it as I learn something new every time I follow her video. Great for reducing stress and getting ito Tia chi as a beginner.
- Missy TIt's an ok instructional videoThis is a good beginners video. There are a few issues. The editing is sketchy in parts, like you can tell they stopped and started the video.
Master Helen doesn't always give the best instructions when going from left to right on a posture. I still get a work out and parts of the video are easy to follow - Teri WGreat workout.Great video.
The young woman is a very good teacher. - Shirley JEasy to followSo far I’m loving this dvd. It has a table of contents so it’s easy to go back to where you left off. Or you can keep reviewing a section until you can make your body follow the easy instructions. The woman giving the lessons is very understandable and she covers each step slowly so you understand.
