I first saw the first dvd in a Walmart. This was just the starter dvd only covering a few
of the movements. It was actually episodes from a tv series on tai chi, PBS I believe.

It only cost a dollar, and though it was just a few moves it wetted my taste for more and so I was very pleased to find the 2nd dvd which has all 24 movements included. This second dvd appears to be something produced a little later than the first and was completed solely as an instructional dvd as opposed to the tv show.

It took a lot of perseverance on my part to learn the 24 forms with all the nuiance
involved but it was well worth it. I have since become a certified tai chi instructor, and the tai chi I learned was all from this dvd.

It was truly a rewarding experience studying tai chi through Joey Bond's dvd.
The instruction is quite colorful, entertaining, and very effective. But one must be patient.

Volume I was simply great to follow and Joey Bond is clear and clean with his movements and choreography. Since he made it easy to learn the forms, I was motivated to purchase volume II. This workout does require discipline and stamina. At the end of the workouts you will feel energized and refreshed. The ending may be a bit cheesy for some, but he actually provides some good words of wisdom which may be common sense but we fail to take them to heart. Bottom line is that this video provided me with a workout that actually reduced my anxieties and I can do this at work, if only for a few minutes, to help gain perspective and move on with my day. You will want to recapture this feeling of relaxation everyday.
