 excellent beginner instruction September 21, 2001
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This video is excellent for beginners in that the instructor is very clear about the movements and also uses two "students"from a rear view,in order to better ,still,understand the postures.
The only disappointment is that after the steps are individually learned,they are not shown together in a "dance"(for lack of a better word)that one can do along WITH the instructor,nor is the meaning of each movement given,which is a very important part of the Tai Chi.
 A Major Disappointment July 17, 2000

This book is mis-leading. In describing Tai Chi movements the pictures disagree with the written text..."foot directly below the shoulder" and it isn't in the photograph. There are more such discrepancies. The analogies may be common to the writer but confusing to this reader..."sand pouring down your leg". There is a large and growing number of Tai Chi manuals. It's too bad publications like this sound so good and read so poorly.
 Very clear, easy to follow. May 12, 1999

This book is excellent for the beginner. The descriptions are very clear, and the photographs are easy to see. I had no problem understanding exactly what Ms. Hooton was talking about.
