Customer Reviews of Tai Chi for Health: Yang Long Form

Good video
I thought this was a very good video, but if you are interested in the long Yang form, this is the more modernized, wu shu version of it rather than the original Yang Chen Fu version, according to my instructor. <
> <
>The video includes some tai chi warm-up excercises, and two presentations of the entire form. The first shows the moves step by step with the names and numbers of the move, with slight pauses in between. The second shows the entire form from beginning to end as one continuous, smooth performance. <
> <
>One difference between this and the original Yang Cheng Fu form is the somewhat larger moves, or "large frame" aspect to the form. It follows almost the same sequence, though, except for some changes in the middle of the second section, in the movements just before and after double wind to ears. Some of the moves are done a little differently, too, such as snake darts out tongue, wave hands like clouds, etc. <
> <
>Also, Dunn does not keep the qua open (keeping the armpits open by one fist distance, or the arms away from the side of the body, which aids with balance through the waist and to the legs) which is an important internal principle. But overall Dunn has very nice, smooth, flowing form, exceptional balance (the ability to pause and hold the kicks), and I enjoyed his performance. <
> <
>Overall I thought this was a well done video and found it useful in comparing what I do with some of the other Yang versions out there. I also have his short Yang form video and thought that was similary well done.

Excellent video of the Yang Long Form
I have seen quite a few Tai Chi DVD's and this one is probably the best. I study a very traditional version of the Yang Long Form and have purchased several Tai Chi DVD's, hoping that each one would be helpful to me as an aid in my training. However this is the only one that I have seen that shows the movements even close to the way I have learned them. The production quality of the video is very good and the descriptions are clear. I am also glad that Terence Dunn decided to make a video showing the traditional Yang 108 Long Form instead of the modern "Yang 24" which you see everywhere. Even though the title of the DVD includes the words "Tai Chi for Health", this is good traditional Taijiquan with martial application; not just flowery new age movements.
