An excellent DVD for someone to begin practicing qigong, and for advanced students. Dr. Yang has put so much into this video. Easy to learn and beautiful to look at, these exercises are the most effective and popular qigong movements for the last 1,000 years.
This DVD has a lot of information on it for someone interested in learning more and going deeper, with a long instructional section with Master Yang, where he explains exactly how and why these qigong exercises work. He goes into great detail explaining the breathing and qi energy, with specific instruction on many skills, such as generating 'guardian qi' to protect your health.
His teaching style is very clear and balanced with evidence from Western medical society and a lot of historical knowledge, which makes this the most complete qigong video out there.
The subtitles are great, the Glossary of Chinese terms pertaining to Chinese qigong is amazing, and the half hour of trailers for other YMAA Tai Chi and Kung Fu videos is inspiring.

I have both the book and the DVD of Dr Yangs 8 pieces of brocade. I have been doing the exercises for about 2 months now and have noticed considerable benefits. These inlcude, better sleep, better concentration, more energy, more confidence, feeling internally well, removal of aches and pains and an increased sense of well being. One of the great things about this particular set is that there is no great empahsis on breathing techniques, i have tried various chi-kung sets and it the breating aspects of them can cause bad problems if done incorrectly. To get the benefits one has to make a part of your daily life, idealy done everday for at least 20 mins. The book is good, however i would say the DVD is alot better as to watch Mr Yang do the exercieses really clarifies it for you!! BUY IT YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!
