Summary: ..disappointed..
Comment: Upon inital use of this tape, I felt that it could have gone to a more advanced level. Although it does an adequate job of reviewing basic postures. What is lacking is a thorough workout so that a user will want to use this tape as a guide on a regular basis. Great for beginners but no more.

Summary: Tai chi for health
Comment: This is an excellent Tai Chi tape; it shows all the moves in each direction: from front, side and rear. I just wish that there was a following tape for the next set of moves. Please tell the person doing this tape that we all could use a second tape!

Summary: Excellent for beginners
Comment: Simply, this is a very good place for beginners to start. With all of the different tapes, forms and variations of forms available it can be confusing for beginners (like myself). From scratch I learned the form presented in about a month. However, some very important facts were not explained like: What form is taught on the tape? Is the set presented only one segment of the Yang long form? The title is Tai Chi for Health Vol. 1 In order to learn the complete form I'm guessing you need the other Vols. Where can they be found?

Summary: A Great Beginner's Tai Chi Video
Comment: Here's a video I go back to over and over again as reference for basic moves in Tai Chi. It's a down-to-earth, easy to follow video that tells you want you need and want to know.The pace of this video is perfect. While some tapes spend so much time on "warm-ups". Warm-ups are here, but they don't get in the way of your jumping into the Tai Chi moves that you really want to learn. Some tapes are so full of various production trappings that it becomes confusing when watching the split-screens and their almost psychedelic methods of transition. This tape is a straight-shooter that doesn't bore you, confuse you, or have you doing things early in the process that only turn you off from learning Tai Chi.
If there's a negative, it's that it seems the primary demonstrator, Yvette Wong, who does such an outstanding job on this video, seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. When you start watching, you see that this tape is referred to as Vol. 1, but I've never seen Vol. 2. Maybe I need to do more searching. Also, this would be great in a DVD format, and I wish someone would reissue it in that format.
This is a real gem, it makes you want to learn, it never annoys you, it's just the best. To Yvette and the second demonstrator Ray Van Raamsdonk, I say BRAVO.

Summary: Great Tai Chi tape
Comment: Very easy to follow and learn from. This is an excellent video, the best Tai Chi tape I've found. Unfortunately, it is the short form which only lasts around three minutes, but you can do it over and over. It really feels good and is taught well.
I love this video.
