Great DVD, 2008-11-29
This DVD is extensive in the amount of material that it presents - it guides you thourgh porper demonstration/form, more detialed instruction and the workouts, which range in length of time.

The is alot of valuable information on this video and it is well worth the effort to try to watch it all - great care for the subject matter is obvious throughout the DVD.

This is a great addition to my exercises.

A Good Stretch, 2008-10-19
A simple guide to stretching.
It's easy to follow and so simple sometimes you don't realize until the next day how much you have accomplished.

Wow!!! I feel So much better!!!!!, 2008-10-17
This Tai Chi DVD is wonderful. I have only done the introductory part and it has helped my balance and legs already. I also bought Mr. Rones Sunset Tai Chi to do before I go to bed and that has helped relieve tension in my sholder and neck muscles.

The exercises in the beginning take over an hour to do but are done slowly enough so a novice can see how to do them. Some of are basic stretch exercises others zero in on specific muscle groups and all of them make me feel better. In spite of being introductory, I can only do them every other day. But my disposition is improving -- I am happier and have more energy and this after only a couple of weeks. It helps my arthritis too. I am more flexible.

I still havn't tried or looked at the rest of the dvd where actual T'ai Chi exercises are put together in a seamless flowing field of energy and movement. However, for the part I am working on, I do want to say, Thank you, Mr. Rones!!!

Five DVD purchases but this is the best, 2008-08-13
I have kept myself in good shape over the years stationary biking, rowing machine,swimming, and occassional weight training. Years ago I earned a brown belt in Kenpo style Karate. Having been diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, I decided to recently add martial arts to my exercise routines. Since I can no longer spar or even go barefoot because of foot nueropathy, I decided on tai chi. There is no shortage of tai chi DVD's but finding good ones is more difficult. The Sunrise Tai Chi with Ramel Jones is definitely the best of the five I tried. The instruction and demonstrations are easily followed. I am looking forward to mastering the exercises and forms in this DVD and continuing with others in the YMAA tai chi series.
