I am an on and off user of this form of Taiji and this video with its split screen showing front and back views plus slow motion is an excellent way to refresh ones memory and correct mistakes. This is the best video I’ve seen on this form. I don’t think anyone who purchases this DVD will be disappointed. Keith

As a newcomer to Taiji, I needed a serious training aid to help me learn the moves. This video did the trick. The instructor provides a methodical stepwise explanation of each move that is broken down into parts to aid the learning process. The moves can be watched individually or in series when you are ready to transition to the next move. You can watch the instructor head on or facing away as needed to enhance the learning experience. I don’t think you can find a better training device for Taiji anywhere.
