I have found this to be an excellent DVD for beginners. It's a fine example of the art of Shen Style Tai chi. The master shows how graceful the various movements are meant to be and what one could attain eventually. It also takes the student through the warm up exercise & onto the sequences. The only problem I had was that the master faces you & I am used to following behing the teacher!
This was very well priced & for a beginner a very good introduction.

I would not advise bying this DVD if you are a beginner. The narrator's English is quiet and difficult to follow. I have found that very clear and explicit instructons are needed at the beginning of Tai Chi and these are not to be found on this DVD. It may be more suited to those of an intermediate level who only require someone to follow rather than someone to explain all the movements to them. The camera work is ammature at best with much wobbling and shaking which is another uneeded distraction.

LimingYu has a wonderful approach to chen style taiji, and has since released titles possibly more suitable for absolute beginners, with better production and camerawork. However as a dvd covering the new frame (xinjia) first routine of Chen style I would have to say this is a superb reference, especially if one also obtains titles by Chen Zhenglei, Chen Xiaowang or Zhang Zhujin.
The form is completely covered from multiple angles (not just in front as per the earlier reviewer) and there are lots of demos of other chen hand and weapon forms at the end. Of particular interest is Liming Yu's repeat demonstrations of the full 83 form ; a slow one and one with many releases of power (His "White Crane Spreads Wings" with Fajing is beautiful.
Sure the production isn't that good but as far as Liming Yu's English instruction is concerned it's fine...unless you are expecting narration by Fred Dibnah or something (earlier reviewer take note and learn to listen!?Eckeethump?)
Of note there isn't really any useful application demonstrations but this dvd really just concentrates on getting the form right. (although the Chen Style authors David Gaffney and Davidine Sim appear with this guy which certainly counts for something). I still refer to this regularly and heartily recommend it, whether you have been fortunate to train with him in person or not.
