5.0 out of 5 stars Authentic Qigong Training!! Brilliant!, 21 April 2004
By A Customer
This video is excellent. It is over three hours of various exercises,unlike most of the other fluffy qigong videos out there. It teaches thetheory of qigong in general, and briefly explains the difference betweenthe methods of Hard and Soft qigong.
Dr. Yang is in horse stance almost the entire time (how old is thisguy?!). For the first month of training my legs were a sore distraction,but now they're used to the stance and I can focus on my deep breathing,which is the key of qigong: Getting more oxygen into your body, so yourcells can more efficiently repair themselves, build muscle, clear toxins,etc.
The DVD helps also to focus the mind on the specific part of the body youare training, which has helped me immeasurably to use my mind to lead theenergy in my body where I want it to be.
These movements generate a lot of Qi energy in the body, and Im learningto store it in my 'dan tian', or 'elixir field', which is about 2 inchesbelow the navel, in your center of gravity. This is the main place in yourbody where your bioelectricity is stored and circulated from. Aftertraining these qigong for a few months I can feel an abundance of Qi hereand can also circulate it through my body, into my limbs and back.
Dr. Yang's demonstrations of these movements is invaluable and inspiring,and the narration is very clear and simple. I expect to train with thisDVD for several years, and will probably refer back to it repeatedly forthe rest of my life!

5.0 out of 5 stars White Crane, not only a beautiful bird, but a beautiful DVD, 19 May 2004
By A Customer
Reviewer: ivorycrane from LAKEWOOD, COLORADO United States

I myself have training in the arts of Tae Kwan Do and Karate. After I dedicated a few years to each school, I decided I enjoyed Chinese martial arts more so than Korean style. Every sect of martial art is unique and wonderful; however, I found the most enjoyment in Chinese. This in turn led a search to find a proper, traditional kung fu school. Well, such thing does not exist in Colorado, however, Dr. Yang's DVDs do!

Do not get me wrong, as White Crane techniques have been adapted into nearly every martial art, this DVD is priceless regardless of style (or lack there of.) This DVD is much more strenuous than some may believe too. Even in Soft Qigong, it is easy to break a sweat (if done properly.)

Dr. Yang's "Shaolin White Crane" book compliments this video. While the book is not required, it is highly recommended. It goes over the spiritual aspects, history, and breathing, while the video does not. In my opinion, the book may be more important than the physical training itself.

If you want to build a properly strong foundation for TRUE Shaolin Gong Fu (Kung Fu) studies as I am doing, this DVD is second to none. For you see, Dr. Yang is a White Crane (among other arts) student of two TRUE Shaolin masters (you will have to buy the book to see whom.)

This is a DVD I will be using ten - twenty - thirty years down the road with my White Crane studies. At YMAA.COM (Yang's Martial Arts Association) site, there are near countless other videos, books, compact discs, art, uniforms, etc. Included in these are White Crane Basic training 1 & 2 (2 tapes, or one DVD.) Moreover, Basic training 3 & 4 are due out in a month or two. Currently there are Kung Fu Fundamentals, Ti Chi, Chi Na, and much more, take time to visit www.ymaa.com, you will not be disappointed.

In addition, there is NO affiliation with YMAA and myself. I simply have much passion and respect for such true quality video training, A RARITY now a day.

I digress though; this DVD is broken down into Soft, Hard, and extras (ymaa video clips for others videos.) Within Soft and Hard are subdirectories that allow simple navigation to any point of study. I find the best feature is how there is nearly no talking, just soft Chinese music that escorts the current movement or exercise. Actual training is VERY easy to understand and follow, but to replicate the flowing movements of Dr. Yang, well that is up to hard work and time.

Yet that is what martial training is:

time, dedication, development, and enlightenment.

Peaceful Years.
