First, be advised that all of these VCD's are IN CHINESE ONLY . In our opinion that doesn't matter much because the instruction is clear and the quality of photography very good. But we will not accept returns just because people didn't read... IN CHINESE ONLY. Given that, these are really tremendous deals for the money. Each of these special VCD's can be played on a computer for full enjoyment. Made for PC's they are also Mac compatible by downloading Quicktime (for free) and any similiar VCD player pro gram.Also playable on most DVD players. For less than $10.00? Wow!

T'AI CHI GATHERINGS

Demonstrators: various.
Many top teachers demonstrating and teaching their art. Please make note: some of these VCD's are demos, some are lecture/demos and some are only lectures. Read carefully the description on each section . NOTE: while some of these represent series our evaluation of individual disks has led us to conclude that they are very uneven. These are the ones we recommend.

Tai Chi Ma HongVCD#154 Tai Chi styles Ma Hong Lecture
A Double VCD, VCD pricing, Chinese Only

Quantity

This is a good one. The wonderful, energetic instructor Ma Hong here lectures but also demonstrates his practical, strong and clear understanding of Chen style Tai Chi. Ma Hong stands as a tower, unwilling to change to more contemporary, prettier versions his T'ai Chi is now becoming admittedly a version of the real Chen style. We were privileged to see him in person demonstrate in California and the word that kept coming to mind was integrity regarding his strong, clear presentation.

Demonstrator/Teacher: Zhang ZhiJun a Chen style inheritor.
This is essentially a LECTURE VCD with Zhang ShihFu mostly sitting at a table and talking about many aspects of Tai Chi done properly. He particularly emphasizes the relationship between posture and breathing and, by inference, internal organ work. He stands briefly and shows a breakdown and exemplifies his words regarding the harmonizing of the actions in Chen Tai Chi. In this case we recommend only for Mandarin (PuTongHua) speakers.
