2.0 out of 5 stars High Price - Low Quality, November 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Tai Chi Sword Forms [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is exactly the kind of video that gives instructional videos a bad name. The recording is so bad that the techniques are hard to see even on a fairly large video screen. The instruction is limited in value and often pooly synchronized with the action. I think Bob Klein is probably a great instructor, but this video tape does not let us enjoy the quality of his instruction.

Save your money. This tape is not a good buy for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the Teacher, April 17, 2000

This review is from: Tai Chi Sword Forms [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There are two forms on this tape 1) the Chen Man-Ching form and 2) a fighting form. The first uses slow, relaxing movements similar to the open hand Yang form. The second is more energetic with intricate movements and spinning of the sword around the body. With each form, you see it straight through at regular pace and then the form is shown with stops between each movement and voice over instructions. Then the self defense applications are demonstrated, one and two person sword exercises are taught and at the end, some sword sparring shown.
