Summary: Complete Idiot's Guide to T'ai Chi and Qi Gong
Comment: I don't find this DVD to be idiot friendly and I feel I must have bought the wrong DVD/Book. I thought it would be easy to follow and it isn't. The title is very misleading and I don't know if others have had the same problem with this book/DVD.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Useful reference book
Comment: I think this is a very useful book used as reference, since no book will ever replace the teachings by a master.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Self-advertisement
Comment: When purchasing this book/dvd combination, I was hoping to get an introduction to Tai Chi that I could practically evaluate and practice. Instead, what I received was a poorly veiled advertisement for the author's 4 DVD set of instructional videos.

While the book does contain certain valuable facts about Tai Chi (history, etc), this is not something that you can pick up and begin doing Tai Chi exercises within an hour. The DVD on the other hand is almost completely useless and while advertising the full length 4 DVD set - looks as if it were filmed in the author's living room with long curtains hiding his sofa.

I would not recommend this product. Two stars b/c the book isn't all that bad - but is not a practical application of Tai Chi - and that may have been my mistake.

Summary: Tai Chi & QiGong
Comment: I have had a long time interest in Tai Chi, this book has provided information that has been very hepful to me. It is interesting and easy to follow.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Excellent reference
Comment: Ordered this book along with T'ai Chi for Dummies. Both are good and useful resources as a suppliment to formal training. If you are considering taking T'ai Chi, please do so under the supervision of a qualified instructor. The information about QiGong was also good. The video was so-so. It is also a good book to look at if you are considering learning T'ai Chi.
