• Tai Chi am/pm. David Carradine - An Introduction For Beginners To AM And PM Tai Chi [DVD]
  
  Excellent for beginners. I ve never done tai chi in my life and I found this very easy to follow. The excercises/movements make you feel refreshed and alive. Give it a try !!!

• boring DVD. Not likely to enthuse you to Tai Chi. I had tried it on holiday and as there were no local classes thought I would get a DVD to do it at home. If you re thinking the same don t bother with this one.
• Pseudo Tai Chi. Having studied and followed a real Yang and Cheng style Tai Chi master from 1998 in UK and Holland, it is self evident that this DVD has very little to do with Tai Chi. It entirely misleads genuine students wishing to learn, thus many may never know the true benefits of the authentic Tai Chi.
• A good value and enjoyable DVD.. I really enjoyed this DVD, it was easy to do the simple, moves, but also felt invigourating and energising. The routines are just long enough not to become boring, (around fifteen minutes) and the music is very relaxing. I found his interview interesting too. This is perhaps not advanced enough for serious Tai Chi enthusiasts, although it does have an easy meditative feel to it that can benefit anyone, and is a good way to keep fit, feel better and loosen up.
• Tai Chi For The Mind & Body.. If I remember correctly this is a late 90s production that was once sold on Amazon.com in region 1 VHS format and was titled David Carradines Tai Chi For The Mind & Body and received mostly impressive reviews. This long awaited UK DVD version has the added bonus of some nice stuff in the extras menu and also the advantage of being able to choose either the AM (mind) or the PM (body) routine at the push of a button and without any old fashioned fast forewarding.
  
  It is a shame they never kept the Mind & Body title but that does not take away the fact that this is very simple and highly enjoyable and beneficial couple of Tai Chi workouts
  
  The first session is the AM (mind) Tai Chi and fine for any time of day. However if you are looking for a easy and gentle Tai Chi routine to practice before work then this is the perfect choice beacause it does not try to get you to put the individual movements together, which means that you do not need to waste precious time pausing and rewinding and trying to master complete form. The movements are practiced in such a way that you should feel more relaxed without the need to work on the continous form.
  
  This said contrary to other reveiws the complete form is demonstrated by Master Arnolde Tayham over the credits at the end of the PM workout, so the form is there even though there is no pressure put upon you to study it.
  
  The second session is the PM (body) workout which teaches a slightly more energetic form. Dispite what is said in some earlier reviews the complete form is not only demonstrated but the viewer is also shown how to put the movements together into the complete form whilst Carradines narration (and demonstration) explains exactly which way to turn etc.
  
  You are taken through the form perhaps a little too quickly and without enough repeats to be able to go through non stop. Thats OK, that is the idea of having the DVD and being able to use the pause and rewind button but don t expext to finish this second PM session in a relaxed state because for a while at least you will only be feeling the fraustration of failing to keep up with the people demonstrating, but you will finish up with the satisfaction of knowing that you are getting a little better each time you practice.
  
  I would say for learning some Tai Chi and Chi Kung in an unrushed but highly informative yet relaxing manner you really should get David Carradines Chi Energy Workout. But this PM workout makes an excellent addition even though it is slightly rushed in comparison.
  The AM session of this DVD should not be missed either for its simplicity and relaxing tone but I would reccomend buying the Chi Energy Workout first and supplimenting it with this DVD at a later date.
  It should be noted that Carradines expertise as well as his production methods have come on in leaps and bounds compared with his terrible 80s production titled David Carradines Introduction To Kung Fu & Tai Chi.
  The end.
