DVD Description
In this best-selling video, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming instructs and demonstrates "the Eight Pieces of Brocade", one of the most popular sets of Chinese healing exercises. These gentle breathing, stretching and strengthening movements activate the Qi energy and blood circulation in your body, helping to stimulate your immune system, strengthen your internal organs, and give you abundant energy. With both a sitting and standing set, anyone can practice these simple and effective exercises in as little as 15 -20 minutes a day.

Known in China as the Ba Duan Jin, the Eight Pieces of Brocade has been practiced for over 1,000 years. Also included are the ‘secret words’ - poetry that has been used to pass this knowledge down from generation to generation, which contains the key to each of these ancient medical qigong movements.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Chi Kung video, 21 April 2004
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best available at this time!!, 11 April 2006
By Mr. C. W. Turner "carlt43" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Eight Simple Qigong Exercises for Health - The 8 Pieces of Brocade [DVD] [2001], 29 Jun 2009
By V. A. WARREN "original bookworm" (Surrey England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The jury's still out on this one - not easy to follow or relaxing - will try it again and try to calm myself before doing it it and get into the zone! I had perhaps too higher an expectation of it because of all the recommendations.
