DVD Reviews of New Forest Tai Chi for Beginners
DVD Review: Calligraphy in Motion
Summary: 5 Stars
John Bright-Fey is a natural teacher who takes simplicity to new levels of brilliance. When you learn other styles of T'ai Chi, you have to be so concerned about each movement and you can almost feel your inner perfectionist becoming frustrated.
With New Forest T'ai Chi, you are freed from perfectionism and finally you can express your creativity and personalize the flowing sequence of healing motion. To me, learning New Forest T'ai Chi was like learning how to paint imaginary calligraphy with my hands.
Not only is this form of T'ai Chi easy to remember, it heats the body, gives you an excellent workout and calms the nervous system. You also don't have to buy any special equipment. Some of the benefits I noticed almost immediately was more flexibility. The warm-up section was fun and playful and allowed you to move into the sequence of movements with more confidence.
Because of the way you are moving through the exercises you will develop excellent balance. While there are a few special instructions for exercise modifications, this is truly as easy as walking. In fact, you are moving at a slower pace than any exercise you have ever done before so you may consider this to be a very low impact routine.
Grandmaster John Bright-Fey takes you through a series of progressively more challenging exercises. At first you are stepping forwards and back and only drawing numbers with your hands and then he teaches you how to place your feet (heel first/toe first) and how to wave like wind and water. Finally, you put all you have learned into one routine and then you can take this routine anywhere you want to exercise.
I'd like to say this was "one, two, three" T'ai Chi. However, I think it is much more like calligraphy in motion. You paint numbers with your hands and this makes the movements super easy to remember. Highly recommended for all ages. This gets you moving and it is truly a fun routine that you will never forget. The spiritual elements come from your own experience while doing the exercises and your peace of mind will last long after the routine has been completed. I felt happier, as if I had let my creative child out to play.
A book to look for to enhance your workout experience: "A Morning Cup of T'ai Chi" by John A. Bright-Fey. An audio CD is included and each exercise is shown in detailed pictures. John Bright-Fey also covers topics like breathing, traditional Chinese medicine and has even translated four chapters from The Tao Te Ching. After reading the book, your workout will have a new depth of creativity.
