Product: The Essence of Taiji Qigong (2005)
Rating: 4.0
An excellent supplement for his book
I wholeheartedly recommend this dvd in conjunction with Dr. Yang's book of the same title. Once again, he goes far beyond what the average instructor offers. Qigong is a necessary aspect of tai chi chuan, whether you are studying for health or martial arts.Qigong, used by many as only a warm up, is far far more. It will increase your flexibility, balance, and believe it or not, your strength. An intimate knowledge of qigong will improve your form greatly. From a martial perspective consider the value of body awareness, which will improve by leaps and bounds through constant practice of qigong and form.For someone with an interest in increasing their knowledge of qigong and tai chi chuan you might also want to view Dr. Yang's Understanding QiGong series and works by Ramel Rones.
