DVD Reviews of Qi Dao - Tibetan Shamanic Qigong, Part One: Harmonious Culture of Movement
DVD Review: Solid Visual Tools for Using The Book
Summary: 4 Stars
There doesn't seem to be a full description of this video, or Qi Dao for that matter - so to get a better idea of Qi Dao - visit the book page Qi Dao - Tibetan Shamanic Qigong: The Art of Being in the Flow. This DVD should accompany the book written in the same title. You can mimic the movements and use the stretching demonstration easily enough by just watching - but this video is meant to augment or accompany the book.
This video is very straight forward - Lama Tantrapa is demonstrating to two other individuals and goes over all the postures and movements described in the book. There are warm up demonstrations and stretching (range of motion exploration) procedures. Stabilization and alignment / destabilization and misalignment are all demonstrated to show that the techniques can be applied immediately and built upon as your abilities expand.
What you will not find in this video is an extended demonstrative practice routine. Everything is broken up into it's parts and shown separately. Many people who purchase tai chi and qigong videos may expect their familiar format with music playing in the background - but the nature of Qi Dao and it's directional movements allows this video's unique (segmented) format to work very well.
There are a few applications of self defense technique where Lama Tantrapa demonstrates several methods (depending on direction/alignment) dealing with grabs that end in throws or 'shucks'. There are also a few very short clips demonstrating Qi Dao in it's spontaneous form.
The video overall suits it's purpose - those who attempt to utilize the video without the book will may not rate as highly. I'm giving 4 stars instead of five because I would have liked to have seen more partner-based self defense applications, perhaps a full, non-segmented practice routine would have been valuable, also more demonstration of the spontaneous movements within the Qi Dao structure.

Description of Qi Dao - Tibetan Shamanic Qigong, Part One: Harmonious Culture of Movement
You must see Lama Tantrapa demonstrating the effortless power that can be achieved by putting just a few of these fundamental principles into practice. He is one of the few Qigong Masters throughout the world who can both demonstrate the feats of power most people only dream of and teach you how to develop such mastery.Bestsellers in DVD
