DVD Reviews of Qi Gong Fire & Water With Matthew Cohen
DVD Review: Must have for anyone interested in Qi Gong
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried other Qi Gong videos but this is the best in my opinion. Very easy to follow. He also states to do each set to the best of your ability, you will improve with time. I use this a few times a week. DVD Review: One of the best Qi Gong dvds!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! One of the best Qi Gong dvds by far. I almost didn't get it because one of the previews shows his demo routine (more complex), not the actual instruction. It's good for beginners, but don't kid yourself, if you keep at it you will increase strength, balance, & flexibility. This is an excellent production, showing front & side views. His instruction & commentary are detailed, clear & easy to follow. Nice sequencing of exercises. Beautiful location. Nice supporting music that's not too intrusive. I highly recommend this dvd!DVD Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is simply the BEST!!! If you purchase it, you will find yourself wanting to practice with Matthew daily. It is absolutley one of the best DVDs that I have ever purchased. I will be on the lookout for more titles by Matthew Cohen! This one is life changing...DVD Review: Qi Gong Fire & Water delivers on the elements
Summary: 5 Stars
I can definitely recommend this DVD. It consists of two excellent and transformative practices. As the title suggests, the Fire practice is more vigorous and energizing and the Water more calming and relaxing. Each set begins with rooting/centering, then a bunch of movement exercises, followed by a few static standing postures, and closes with a seated meditation. The Fire practice in particular is incredibly grounding and it's easy to work up a mild sweat even though the moves are performed very slowly. I just have one major criticism which is that a few of the standing postures are not explained very well. The "dragon" stance in particular is a bit complex and the instructors adopt it very quickly with little instruction to guide you into it initially. It's also a very demanding posture and although a flexible and strong beginner can do it, it's definitely not for those who are neither. This is also true of a couple other positions in the Fire section, mainly because the stances are low and wide (called "horse stance"); some of these exercises are definitely not for absolute beginners (that's not a criticism so much as a disclaimer). But if you can manage them, your legs will get a great workout. The Water practice is suitable for about anyone though. One of the things I like about the DVD is that the moves are performed very slowly (even for typical Qigong), which makes it easy to follow and very relaxing. Production-wise, the DVD is top-notch, the setting is stunning, and Cohen's spoken instruction is excellent. All in all, this is some of the most effective and enjoyable Qigong I've learned so far.DVD Review: Non-exerciser very pleased
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this DVD because Dr. Oz suggested incorporating Qi Gong in a healthy life style. I am not into excerise of any kind. I found the movements do-able and after a bit of practice really enjoyable. My only small complaint is that I would have liked some info about how to use the two sections independently, but you figure that out as you go along. I am now a Qi Gong convert.
