Recensione

Simple exercises but very effective. I can only add to the other rave reviews. I have tried other qigong videos, but this is the best one. The explanations are clear, and the quality of the DVD is excellent. --Patrick Dickson

As with all DVDs by YMAA and Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming, you are impressively overwhelmed by technical and academic data to back up what you are practicing. Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming does not fool around or tell you to simply believe what he is saying. As with all YMAA material featuring Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming, you are treated to hours of additional material that would most likely be worth hundreds of additional dollars if purchased seperately. These simple breathing and physical exercises calm the mind and refresh the body. They build strength and help to balance yourself in a hectic world or after a hard day of training. ...Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming is by far the most scientific and proficient teacher on the market. --KO Reviews

"I probably own four or five books on the 8 Pieces of Brocade, a Qigong exercise that at first does not appear to be complex or difficult to learn. After reading the various books on this exercise I felt that I had a pretty good grasp of how to do the exercises and what to expect. Watching this DVD was very enlightening and corrected some misconceptions I had about the exercises. The book by Dr. Yang, Jwing Ming is excellent, but as suggested by the author, using the DVD and the book together is a very effective technique for obtaining accurate and effective results while doing this form. The DVD offers both the Sitting and Standing versions of the 8 Pieces of Brocade exercise. Dr. Yang starts off the DVD with a history of the 8 Pieces of Brocade, which was created approximately one thousand years ago. The 8 Pieces of Brocade is presented in two main sections, the sitting version and the standing version. First shown is an analysis of the steps in the sitting version. Throughout this analysis the DVD uses multiple angle shots to display the front, sides and rear of Dr. Yang as he demonstrates each of the movements. Additionally, the added benefit of sound helps the student to realize for example how hard to tap the teeth, or when to breath in and out. Even the tapping of the fingers on the back of the skull during one of the exercises helps the student to do the movement correctly by listening to the sound that is made when Dr. Yang demonstrates the movement. --Patrick Dickson
