Tai Chi Sword for Beginners (YMAA Taijiquan) Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming Dvd

The combination of the book, along with the DVD, works well for me. I have some experience with the basic Tai Chi form, and I find this sword form, as presented by Dr. Yang, interesting and fun to practice. Dr. Yang's written and video instructions seem clear enough and easy to follow. I have no regrets about making this purchase, and I would recommend this bundle to anyone interested in Tai Chi sword form, especially if no Tai Chi instructor is accessible.

I enjoyed learning how to doTai Chi as I have been called to it many times! I have long been fascinated with Japanese culture. Tai Chi is easy to learn! Good for body & soul!

Like his teaching in what DvDs purchased. Good Art and history with students. Shoe-N-tell moves.

I am still a beginner in Taijiquan and currently learning the traditional Yang style long Taiji form by Dr. Yang Jwing Ming from his Tai Chi for Beginners DVD. I have found the instructions on the DVD very clear and I believe that with the these clear instructions I can learn this form effectively. Buy the accompanying book if you can so you can understand the form in depth.I recommend however that you finish the long form first before starting on this DVD as a background in the long form and Qigong will help in understanding the sword and subsequent weapon forms of Taijiquan.One more thing. It believe that it is best to have guidance to understand the sword form in so after you have learned the form to the best of your ability I would recommend you take regular seminars or visit a master to correct your form so you can understand the art correctly. Dr. Yang conducts seminars on yearly basis in his retreat center in California. Thats will be a great chance to refine your form. Also look for other seminars offered by YMAAAs with any other martial art form, mastering it will require years of regular practice and feedback.

Great in that each move is verbally explained, demonstrated slowly, then showed as a move when someone is attacking. Plus you get to see the move at a bit faster speed. Highly recommended if you want to watch and learn the Yang style of sword Ti Chi

I've purchased 3 of these everyone is been scratched up to 36 min. It's fine but after Dr. Yang does the form they are scratched up.kinda disappointed trying to learn the 54 sword form been studying yang style tai chi for over 20 years

I am a martial artist and I have been to several of Master Yang’s clinics as well as had Master Yang do a clinic in my school.I have several books written by Master Yang and they are very precise. A couple of them are signed copies.I would like to know when ever he comes to Georgia or Florida! I’ll be there!

Excellent price. Good construction. Needed tightening in the handle and hilt. Balance is a bit off, but for the price, who cares?
