User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Fun Tai Chi book for beginners
This book is alot of fun, but is sort of corny. I was happy to have it as a Tai Chi beginner, but I'm quickly finding out that some of the material is not that great. The "Get Physical" chapter is pretty cool though.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Complete Idiot's Guide to T'ai Chi and Qi Gong
I don't find this DVD to be idiot friendly and I feel I must have bought the wrong DVD/Book. I thought it would be easy to follow and it isn't. The title is very misleading and I don't know if others have had the same problem with this book/DVD.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Useful reference book
I think this is a very useful book used as reference, since no book will ever replace the teachings by a master.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Self-advertisement
When purchasing this book/dvd combination, I was hoping to get an introduction to Tai Chi that I could practically evaluate and practice. Instead, what I received was a poorly veiled advertisement for the author's 4 DVD set of instructional videos.

While the book does contain certain valuable facts about Tai Chi (history, etc), this is not something that you can pick up and begin doing Tai Chi exercises within an hour. The DVD on the other hand is almost completely useless and while advertising the full length 4 DVD set - looks as if it were filmed in the author's living room with long curtains hiding his sofa.

I would not recommend this product. Two stars b/c the book isn't all that bad - but is not a practical application of Tai Chi - and that may have been my mistake.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Tai Chi & QiGong
I have had a long time interest in Tai Chi, this book has provided information that has been very hepful to me. It is interesting and easy to follow.
