About the Actor

Justin F. Stone originated T'ai Chi Chih® (knowledge of the Supreme Ultimate) in 1974. After spending many years in Japan, India, and China studying Oriental spiritual disciplines and mastering T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Justin created this new discipline so that everyone, including elderly people, could easily learn and practice the simple movements. Everyone can receive, and deserves, all the benefits that come from circulation and balance of Intrinsic Energy. Over 2,200 teachers worldwide are accredited in this discipline.

Justin Stone is also an accomplished painter, ASCAP composer, and financial advisor. He has originated a language learning method for Japanese and has taught Eastern Studies at two universities.

Justin resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he leads regular Tuesday morning T'ai Chi Chih classes for teachers at the T'ai Chi Chih Center in Albuquerque and holds informal meditation sessions at his home.

Justin, a dynamic 83-year-old when the video was filmed, believes: The circulation and balancing of the chi is the great secret of life. And this T'ai Chi Chih discipline, a moving mediation with far-reaching benefits, works with the chi. It's a very valuable exercise that affects the inner organs as well as the muscular structure. The slow, soft movements of T'ai Chi Chih have real effects on blood pressure, weight control, and other physical elements, but T'ai Chi Chih goes much deeper than that. Students who realize that practice is absolutely necessary often experience profound changes during a beginning course. Since most students feel the effects of the practice very quickly, it is not necessary to accept results as a matter of faith.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must have but DVD would be better, January 13, 2006

This review is from: T'ai Chi Chih! Joy Thru Movement [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I bought this tape to supplement a course I am taking. I wanted something to help me with my home practice. As an instructional tape it is excellent. However, It is divided into an instructional section and a practice session. As a beginner, I need both. So I have to go through the instructions then fast forward to the practice... a distraction. A DVD with menu would be a great improvement. By the way, it may seem a bit expensive, however, it is well worth the price.

I think this is a very good tape for anyone starting out withT'ai Chi . I would like her to do a little more with her back to us so we could understand which side she is on as we are learning.

This is the book a student of T'ai Chi Chih needs for beginning study. It accompanies the VHS tape or DVD of the same name.
