3.0 out of 5 stars Good But not Great, January 16, 2001

By 

C D Wetzelberger (louisville, ky United States) - See all my reviews

Teaches the T'ai-chi-ch'uan version of eagle claw. This shows the form clearly from all angles at diffrent speeds. This video also show how the movements are used in combat.

Why then 3 stars?

First the self defense applications part is very fast cut seens between a slow speed showing of each move of the form. The form itself is explained well, the self defense part is not explained at all. IT just says "self - defense" and shows the master using the move just shown in combat. This shows basically how to do the move, however, Eagle claw uses a lot of pressure point attacks as i understand it. None of these pressure point attacks are explained. If one has prevous knowledge of pressure points, this might not totally ruin the video. If your not farmiluar with them, then don't expect this video to explain them, becuase it does not. IF he is using pressure point attacks during the self defense part to preform some of the moves, or not,is unknown becuase it is not explained. One move for instence he reachs underneath the aggressors arm i assume he is grabing the pressure point there, but it is not explained, which would limit that perticular moves usefullness.

Intresting video, just recognize its limitations before purchasing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Exercise, May 26, 2000

By 

David Weis (N.Y., USA) - See all my reviews

I am a T'ai-chi person and happened to see this video. I was just amazed and got a copy more for the exercise than the fighting (though it is incredible for that, too). The tape itself is well made and the movements are shown clearly and step-by step. At the beginning, the stances and hand positions are explained in detail. It is an astounding way to exercise and I'm sure that few could compete against it as a martial art.

4.0 out of 5 stars quick and ruthless, July 13, 2001

By 

Eduardo J. Flores (Laredo, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this video along with tiger and snake kung fu. these 3 systems are a great combination of soft,hard,fast. This eagle claw form is very energetic! You must have great endurance. I think for this reason I was able to learn the form in under a week. never the less its not easy. Its easy to learn but hard to do. practice makes perfect.
