 Fun Tai Chi book for beginners October 31, 2008
This book is alot of fun, but is sort of corny. I was happy to have it as a Tai Chi beginner, but I'm quickly finding out that some of the material is not that great. The "Get Physical" chapter is pretty cool though.

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.
 Useful reference book June 2, 2008
I think this is a very useful book used as reference, since no book will ever replace the teachings by a master.
Self-advertisement February 18, 2008

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.
