This 2 tape set is an excellent introdution to Tai Chi Chuan by David Carradine. Well photographed and expertly choreographed; Mr. Carradine leads the viewer on a brief and simple (And very beneficial) calming workout that leaves one relaxed and at the same time, invigorated. An excellent companion video set to Mr. Carradine's Tai Chi for Beginners and Chi Kung Workout. The viewer will get that close knit one on one feeling with Mr. Carradine, and feel that this workout was created just for them. Excellent job David.

I have to say I wanted to hate this video. I mean David Carradine, b-movie actor, chinese wannabe, 1970's kung-fu guy ...who would have thought this video would be anything other than a joke. But....I was forced to eat my words, and feelings. The video, most likley do to Arnold Taiam and his direct connection to Real Chi Gong and Kung Fu, actually make a good , easy to follow, video that is more than benificial to the viewer than 90 percent of the other videos ive seen on the topic.
There are a few glitches I do have to say, as when David isn't really preforming the moves as his teacher is, and also how he doesn't always tell you he's changing side (from right to left or vice versa) but then you could argue that was done on purpose to keep the viewer "in the class"...hmm... well none the less if you want to get your foot in the door with either Tai Chi or Chi gong, and you want a tape you can use every day, to give you that in class feeling... you can't go wrong with this one!

Good going Goldhil...keep it up !

Maybe if they make a Ninja workout they can get Michel Dudikoff to host it -- i mean its not like he's been in much lately.

This two-video set combines the best of David's presentation-style, with Arnold Tayam's information on Chen-style Tai Chi! This along with fine production-values featuring music by John Serrie makes this box-set a winner! A great addition to David Carradine's "Chi Kung For Beginners" and David Carradine's "Tai Chi Workout For Beginners"

I have really enjoyed both tapes. He makes it simple to learn & it's definately something I can do & learn. I don't live in town & I am a senior, I have been looking for something I could do from home, that would give me some exercise & I can always use help with the mind. I am snowed in during winter & these tapes have been real company.

Not recommended for people with serious health concerns. This video has some pretty intense sequences (if they are done correctly) and can get the heart rate up and going. I found it to be quite enjoyable and have included it into my daily morning routine. (yes, you can do this with coffee in your hand)

The physical aspect of the tapes are good. The sound of the "mind" tai chi tape, is poor. You can hear it, but it's not a ok quality of sound.

This guy really irks me; always trying to pass himself off as a Martial Artist just because he starred in the TV series "Kung Fu". He's a joke in the Martial arts community. His forms are atrocious, and his advice should never be listened to.
