Class production
I think this is a great DVD. The transition from novice exercises to those of a proficient practitioner, is very quick and you can be left in the dust slightly by Dr. Yang as he incorporates the entire body and breathing patterns into what is seemingly a simple hand motion.From a novice perspective, this DVD will take a year or even two to fully complete and a lifetime to master.Having a partner at home who is also willing to learn is a huge help as a lot of the exercises, and the very nature of pushing hands, is for two people. In saying that there are a lot of solo exercises that move well beyond novice level very quickly, not too fast as to overwhelm you, more fast enough to make you realise how much mental effort is required to co-ordinate the entire body as one in a rhythmic motion. You then must move past that, so you don't have to think about it so much, more that it becomes natural, so you can concentrate on your partner.Dr. Yang is a great teacher, and with so many DVD's on the many different aspects of Taijiquan, even small town, or country people who may not have a local instructor or school they can go to, can learn from a true master.

the instruction is excellent
the lessons are as good as you will find... the only reason I did not give 5 stars is that the DVD hangs up on some players...

Authentic Tai Chi instruction is coordinated perfectly by Dr. Yang
We are fortunate that Dr. Yang knows so much about Tai Chi, Qi Gong and martial applications. Usually when a teacher has deep knowledge of a Chinese treasure, they are unwilling or unable to communicate itDr.Yang teaches many subtleties with great generosity to us and respect for the Tai Chi principles.

Yang is definitely one of the great martial art experts of our time
I have studied various styles of martial arts for over 30 years now and have studied Yang Family taijiquan for over 5 years. Dr. Yang is definitely one of the great martial art experts of our time.

I can't do it all but it does provide a clear perspective on what is needed and fun with Pushing Hands
Unlike most Eastern exercise dvd's the instructor speaks in English and provides a detailed summary of the subject. I can't do it all but it does provide a clear perspective on what is needed and fun with Pushing Hands.
