great intro and history
This program is by far the best I have seen, and I have seen a few on the subject. What I liked the most about it is 1) the intruction is in depth and well conveyed and 2) it includes some real history that explains the origins of Qi Gong with Tai Chi master Jian Liu Jun sharing his personal knowledge of the 4,000-year-old practice.
I learned about this DVD set from an article in Exclusive Magazine where the writer wrote "As soon as this DVD starts you know you're onto something good". Now that I have seen it, I have to agree.
Best Qi Gong program I have found on video
Considering that this release is selling for under $20 and contains two discs with over three hours of instruction, it's an unexpected bonus that the program is really, really good. There is no way to learn an internal martial art just by watching video programs about it, but one can definitely foster a solid understanding of what Qi Gong is all about. It is excellent as an introduction for novices or as a supplement for beginner/intermediates already practicing the art. Recommended.

If u want background and history then this is for you.
At first I was a bit put off, this is not your regular instructional DVD. It is very nice to watch and to hear the explanation of the practice and the individual moves. I loved that they were not wearing workout clothes and at some points birds chirping is the only sound. This is not fast paced for everyday workout, but it's a wonderful fun DVD to watch when u have the time and just want to relax and be reminded of this ancient art form.
