The pace of this video is perfect. While some tapes spend so much time on "warm-ups". Warm-ups are here, but they don't get in the way of your jumping into the Tai Chi moves that you really want to learn. Some tapes are so full of various production trappings that it becomes confusing when watching the split-screens and their almost psychedelic methods of transition. This tape is a straight-shooter that doesn't bore you, confuse you, or have you doing things early in the process that only turn you off from learning Tai Chi.
If there's a negative, it's that it seems the primary demonstrator, Yvette Wong, who does such an outstanding job on this video, seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. When you start watching, you see that this tape is referred to as Vol. 1, but I've never seen Vol. 2. Maybe I need to do more searching. Also, this would be great in a DVD format, and I wish someone would reissue it in that format.
This is a real gem, it makes you want to learn, it never annoys you, it's just the best. To Yvette and the second demonstrator Ray Van Raamsdonk, I say BRAVO.
