• This Book Is As Good As Lots Original Qigong Books In Chinese.
27 September, 2009
I have been a TaiChi practitioner for more than 10 years.
TaiChi is also one kind of Qigong (ch'i kung).
My life experience about TaiChi: it is life, healthy, and powerful, if a learner is on the right track.
I think this book is as good as lots original Qigong books in Chinese.

• Complete Idiots Guide To Tai Chi & Gi Gong
12 June, 2009
It is a good book. easy to understand. the dvd w/ it helps to understand information provided. One thing I did not like, in an earlier edition of the book they had "pocket cards" at the front that you could tear out and carry w/ you and this 1 doesn't.

• Misleading
20 September, 2009
Misleading-----thought that we were getting a dvd for instruction as well as the book. The book is to difficult to follow but the author will be more than glad to sell you another dvd for instruction. I wish that I had not wasted the money!

• An Excellent Basic Guide For Beginners Taking Tai Chi Or Qigong.
23 September, 2009
It is amusing reading some of the reviews of this book. In spite of what some of the previous reviewers stated, this is a very good book to learn the basics of Tai Chi and QiGong. As for the author creating his own system, so what? If he has studied these arts under previous masters for many years, he is free to create his own method of doing Tai Chi or QiGong. Most of the so called masters did the very same thing. They learned from someone else and than created their own Tai Chi or QiGong system. This is an excellent text for beginners in Tai Chi who are also taking it from an instructor. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Martial Art Myths, Season of the Warrior, Never Trust a Politician, Monadnock Defensive Tactics System, Use of the Monadnock Straight baton, PR-24 Police Baton Advanced Techniques).
