    5.0 out of 5 stars If you are going to study the Tai Chi Sword without an instructor this is the place to start
    Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    So first, you need the book and the DVD together. And even then you are going to be doing a fair amount of going back and forth between the book and the DVD to learn the Tai Chi Sword.

    Second, in the absence of a good instructor you really need to take the time and learn this in bite size bits. You may be tempted to skip over parts, the strength training, the Qigong, the postures, and the technique fundamentals- DON'T! One of my first Tai Chi instructors said, "Every move in Tai Chi has meaning."

    Third, don't be in a hurry. So much the better if you have a training partner, but you can still get a lot out of this without one. Take your time and learn each part a bit at a time. Add a new drill or exercise each week. The DVD does a great job of demonstrating the Qigong practice associated with the sword. It is a standing form, so there is no stepping, the only movement is with your arms and the bending of your knees, and of course your breathing. My local instructor and I had an hour long session on the importance of a good standing Qigong practice, and it has the added benefit of moving your body in ways you haven't been used to yet, so be prepared for some sore muscles the first couple of times.

    Fourth, as with the other drills, add and practice the sword movements one at a time, at least that is how I do it. I will learn one sword drill, and add a second one in a week, sometimes longer. This way I can gradually get my body used to moving in the way of the Tai Chi Sword. And can build up to the strength needed to do it well.

    Fifth, don't rush the techniques. In Tai Chi, I am finding doing them slowly, and the slower the better, builds perfection, helps you communicate the different parts of your body to your training,

    So, the DVD is clear, but lacks total completeness, the book, has pictures, but are sometimes difficult to divine the movements from the book. Together they are a great resource on your way to learning the Tai Chi Sword, tho it cannot be over stated that there is no substitute for a qualified and knowledgeable teacher.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Yang's TAI CHI SWORD
    Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Over the years I've owned several of Dr. Yang Jwing Ming's products, both books and videos, and they have always been of the highest quality. They tend to be well presented, highly detailed, and informative. Recently I've purchased his TAI CHI SWORD DVD and I'm very pleased to say that it's outstanding.

    This DVD offers extensive information on all aspects of Classical Yang Tai Chi sword forms and techniques. It also includes training in Tai Chi sword Qigong exercises, something that I had never even heard of before. Dr. Yang presents dozens of basic sword techniques, shown without an opponent and with. This allows the viewer to concentrate on the movement alone and then see precisely how it is used. This is a great advantage for learning each movement from both a dynamic and functional point of view. It also provides training on stances, partner training drills, and applications.

    Included in the program are the names of each movement read in English and Mandarin with subtitles on the screen. Subtitles also indicate the breathing with regards to inhales and exhales for each move. I don't know if Yang is responsible for the writing and organization of this program or if he hires someone, but this program is designed very well as a teaching tool. The instructions are precise, logical, and easy to follow. The DVD's menu makes it easy to skip around the content and select subjects out of sequence or for repeated viewings.

    The 54 posture forms presented on this disk are different from those that I learned years ago though the movements and techniques are quite familiar. Camerawork, lighting, and editing are good quality and aid in ease of viewing and comprehension. The content of this DVD is also available in book form which may be very useful as a companion tool to the DVD.

    There are several very good products on the market today regarding Yang Style Tai Chi Sword, but for anyone interested in making a thorough and effective study Yang Tai Chi sword forms and methods, you couldn't do much better that buying this excellent DVD.

    4.0 out of 5 stars overall good product - lots of content, but some instances of poor filming
    Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I really love Tai Chi Sword - and the DVD provides so many forms of practice. Besides just the 54-step sword form itself, the DVD also provides warm-ups, chi gong, practice exercises, and pair exercises to work on after you master the form. So it is quite a lot of content on a single DVD. Its been great for a relative beginner like me. The one think preventing me from 5 stars is the video footage only comes from a single direction and doesn't even back up at times when the teacher moves part of his hand or the sword out of the camera's view. There are other parts when he is facing away from the camera and I can't see the exact movements he is making.
    At least 95% of the form is still visible, but there are a few little adjustments that could have made the DVD filming much better.

    Like most Products in from this company they videos are well put together and they go over a lot of good information you would learn with your instructor. Only thing missing is feedback from and actual instructor. You'll go over exercises, history, forms and application which is awesome in learning an martial art.

    Great insight on this weapon and i recommend learning in this method to see if this style is for you before finding a school to really refine your art.
