DVD Reviews of Understanding Qigong DVD1 (YMAA chi kung) Dr. Yang

DVD Review: Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars

I thought this was the best purchase I have made off of Amazon. You will have read all the other, more detailed, responses so I won't repeat what's been said.

-But, this: Get it.

DVD Review: Simply Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars

My primary study is Taiji - and again, primarily alone. As I am unable to get to any sort of regular classes I rely on high quality books and DVDs to guide me. Books on Taiji and Qigong abound and there are many good Taiji DVDs out there but few really good ones on Qigong.

There are of course many DVDs which show Qigong forms. But there are few which talk about the theory of Qigong, particularly in terms that Westerners can understand.

Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming's DVD 1 on Understanding Qigong is such a DVD. He has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and, as he says on the DVD, all his tertiary studies have been pure science oriented. He has applied that scientific rigour to his very deep understanding of traditional Chinese martial and Qigong arts in order to explain Qigong. He takes the 'feelings' oriented Taiji theory and uses linear Western logic, such as Ohm's law, to make it comprehensible to the layperson.

Having read and studied [intellectually] Qigong for many years, I was aware at the start of the DVD of many of the strands of his arguments, although I had no way to put those strands together. Impressively though, Dr. Yang took those strands and wove a whole cloth, starting from the fundamentals of Chinese Wuji, Taiji and Qigong theory and developing it all the way through to linking it into the physical Taiji form. This first DVD provides a simply excellent introduction to Qigong theory.

I have always been loathe to study Qigong on my own, as there was too much I didn't understand. How, for example, does the Tendon Washing Qigong relate to the Bone Marrow Qigong? What is their purpose? What physical effects do they have on the body? How does Taiji operate to create Yin and Yang from Wuji? All of these questions and far, far more are answered on this first DVD. If you're just starting your Qigong studies and don't understand the questions I've asked, don't worry, his explanations will lead to that understanding at the same time as he leads you to the answers. On the strength of this DVD I will now commence Qigong exercises.

As a professionally qualified adult trainer I can also comment that Dr. Yang is an excellent teacher, once you get used to his, at times, strong accent. I had bought DVDs 1 and 2 of this series on spec. Halfway through the first [2.5hr] lesson of the two on this DVD I went and ordered the remainder of the series.

I strongly recommend this DVD.

DVD Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars

A clear and scholarly presentation of the all different aspects of Qigong. I appreciate the fact that Dr. Yang is both a high level practitioner of this art and also a hard core scientist. Highly recommended!

DVD Review: A must for EVERYONE
Summary: 5 Stars

I believe that the first lessons in life should always begin with in-depth teachings of the human body and its functions. We weren't born with manuals and therefore most of us don't have a clue as to the vital importance of proper mind/body care and maintenance. Like an automobile or a computer, both a very complex and unless you have an understanding on what happens under the bonnet, or inside the computer case, you need trained professionals to carry out routine services to ensure these instruments perform at their optimum. Should you not do this, you risk causing damage to your engine or your computer crashing. This is the exact scenario with our mind/body.

I believe Dr. Yang has very in-depth knowledge and experience with the human body. Within his DVD's he can show/educate anyone on the functions of our organs and the understanding of how our body works and the connection we have with earth and the universe. Learn what he teaches and you too can maintain an efficient mind/body to perform at your optimum all the time. Being alive is the greatest gift and we owe it to ourselves to ensure we can get the most out of everyday without feeling drained or being in a poor emotional state.

I strongly recommend Dr. Yang's Qigong DVD's to everyone and anyone.

DVD Review: Open up the knowledge that will change your life.
Summary: 5 Stars

The things I learned from this DVD changing my life and my health in a good way. Easy to understand what Dr. Yang explain and make you want to learn more, simple language he used made me understand him more than the book or lecture in my own language. No fancy presentation, a real lecture so you can concentrate on the subject and he gave you full course knowledge.

Description of Understanding Qigong DVD1 (YMAA chi kung) Dr. Yang

This program is part one in a six-DVD series designed to lead a complete beginner to a thorough understanding of the theory and practice of qigong. Search "Understanding Qigong" on Amazon for more.

The Chinese word Qigong (chee - kung) means 'energy cultivation'. Qigong is the ancient art of using the mind to naturally develop the body's Qi (energy) for improved health and longevity. Some Qigong is practiced sitting or standing still, while other Qigong can be a kind of moving meditation.

As millions of people worldwide are turning to Chinese medicine and healing practices such as Qigong and Tai Chi, it is important to understand what Qigong is and how it works. In these two video courses, renowned Qigong expert and author Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming explains the concepts of Qigong and the human energetic circulatory system. Dr. Yang's systematic approach to teaching offers deep insight into the subject of Qigong with modern scientific data to support his theory from both an Eastern and Western perspective.

Drawing on his 35 years of training in Qigong and his Western scientific background in Physics and Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Yang presents a clear and fascinating explanation of his Qigong theory, and offers a simple Qigong exercise for students to begin experiencing their Qi. This program is a must for Qigong practitioners, acupuncturists, energy healers, and anyone interested in understanding exactly of how and why Qigong works.
