DVD Reviews of Tai Chi Fighting Set: 2-Person Matching Set

DVD Review: Shows how Tai Chi would be applied to common forms of attack.
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD is informative to all styles of Tai Chi.
My review won't be as long as the other reviews, but I wanted to say that this is very well produced DVD. This DVD is awesome.

I had always wondered how Tai Chi would be applied to fighters of other styles and this DVD clearly shows applications to common forms of attack. In the Fighting Set form common attacks and Tai Chi attacks are demonstrated. However, what is missing is showing Tai Chi defenses against weapons that one is likely to encounter, such as folding knives and guns. Other than that this DVD is excellent.

In this DVD the fighting set is broken down into sections for you to learn one section at a time. And the sections are broken down into patterns. His two senior students, who have been practicing this form for 3 to 5 years demonstrate the patterns. And then Dr Yang explains it and common mistakes that beginners make, and while he is explaining he will re-demonstrate the patterns. And then has the students re-demonstrate the form. It is all very well demonstrated and explained.

The photography and DVD menu selection are also very good.
You do not have to know the Tai Chi form to benefit from this DVD, although being familiar with the postures will be helpful.
Also viewing this will be helpful with your form practice as you will have a better understanding of how the form works; and how and why you should position your body.


Also, I thought this was much easier to understand than the book. But after watching this DVD I went back to the book and it made more sense to me. Seeing the applications in motion on a DVD is really helpful.


I recommend this for anybody that wants to do Tai Chi beyond just copying their teacher.

Description of Tai Chi Fighting Set: 2-Person Matching Set

Tai Chi Chuan is practiced every day as a moving meditation by millions of men and women worldwide. However, its origins are in the martial arts. A fighting set is a sequence of movements which teaches the student how to apply the martial art in a real life fighting situation. This DVD comprehensively instructs and demonstrates the 88 Posture, 2-Person Fighting Matching Set for advanced Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan).

This Fighting Set is a combination of techniques from pushing hands and the solo Taijiquan sequence, and it serves as a bridge connecting pushing hands with real fighting. Like pushing hands, it teaches you how to sense your opponent?s actions and intentions, and it also teaches footwork and how to set up your strategy, making your fighting skill more realistic and alive. Anyone who is proficient at a solo Tai Chi sequence and pushing hands should be able to learn this fighting set easily, and make it part of their practice routine.

In ancient times, this form was taught by a few masters to only a handful of trusted students as a part of the final training of Taijiquan as a sophisticated and extremely effective fighting art.

Special Features: Over 100 Chapter Selections ? Narration: English or French ? Multi ?Language Menus & Subtitles: English, French, Portuguese, Polish ? Sildeshow of ancient drawings of the 88 Postures ? Interactive YMAA Product Catalog with previews of all YMAA video titles
