DVD Reviews of T'ai Chi for Health: Yang Short Form 37 Form
DVD Review: good foundation but difficult to follow moves
Summary: 2 Stars
i think terence dunn does a great job in taking his time to explain each move; however, the warmup is incredibly long and the visual angle/frontal view is extremely confusing for someone who is watching and trying to learn the moves..it's not a mirror image..i was left feeling frustrated instead of relaxed..DVD Review: DVD barely watchable
Summary: 1 Stars
I am sorry I can't return this DVD. The camera work is so poor in the first part ( Terry Dunn performing the Yang Short Form by the ocean) that it's unwatchable. You have to face the sun, and the reflections in the lens are unbearable.
The rest lacks sharpness too.
As others have mentioned, the warm up is too long and tedious.
Save your money and don't buy this DVD.
DVD Review: Terrific Tai Chi DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Tai Chi DVD offers an excellent introduction to Tai Chi for those who are more interested in the health benefits of this ancient Chinese martial art. Although the movements are gentle and unhurried, they will greatly increase your lower body strength and overall suppleness. Terry Dunn teaches this art in a relaxed but, engaging manner. I highly recommend this DVD.DVD Review: Excellent Instruction on Tai Chi Short Form
Summary: 4 Stars
This instructional DVD excels in its attention to detail. I have had some training as a Tai Chi assistant instructor and I find Mr. Dunn's form and teaching style excellent for keeping the student in correct posture. For most people learning Tai Chi, it is very difficult to remember all the positioning details correctly. It is much too easy to perform the forms sloppily in an effort to look smooth. Unfortunately, much of the benefit of the discipline is lost in this manner. Mr. Dunn's attention to detail in the form of reminders, such as alignment, relative positions of joints, and whether hips are open or squared, keeps me disciplined and focused.DVD Review: Excellent instructional video
Summary: 4 Stars
An excellent, comprehensive video for learning T'ai Chi.
I do wish that he also filmed the moves when he was facing the same way you were, so it would be easier to follow, while watching and doing the moves yourself. But that being said, he explains each move with careful and complete detail so that you can follow along. I would still recommend taking some classes - to keep you from developing bad habits or wrong moves - somethings that a competent teacher will be able to point out.
I had studied and practiced T'ai Chi for a few years, some 20 years ago, and this video was all that I needed to get back to where I was then.
Description of T'ai Chi for Health: Yang Short Form 37 Form
Studio: E1 Entertainment Release Date: 12/07/2004 Run time: 120 minutes Rating: NrT'ai chi, the classic Chinese exercise for health, self-defense, and spiritual growth, is "meditation in movement." It emphasizes relaxation, breath control, visual and mental concentration, and slow, balanced movement, explains the voiceover in T'ai Chi for Health: Yang Short Form during a 10-minute explication of the qualities, philosophy, and health benefits of t'ai chi. Meanwhile the instructor, Terence Dunn, practices on a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean. Dunn teaches 10 minutes of breathing and warm-up exercises. Next is a 30-minute introduction to the basic postures, then a full hour of step-by-step instruction and practice of the 37 postures of the Yang Short Form. The video ends with an eight-minute demonstration of the complete Yang Short Form, showing how the postures flow together. Altogether, you get two full hours in this unusually complete training video. The beginner gets all the instruction needed to start practicing, and ongoing students get an ideal setting for practice and improvement. --Joan Price
