Not enough instruction

"Mostly you see the woman doing her Tai Chi, you don't receive much instruction. It is hard to see her feet while she is standing in the grass and in front of mirrors that cut her reflection off just below the knees."
Excellent instruction, great DVD

"For anyone looking to learn the basics of tai chi form and movement, Tricia Yu's DVD is perfect ... her instruction is clear and beautifully demonstrated in the DVD. You get both a front and back view of all movements, which really assists in learning the form! This particular form (Fundamentals) is also great. It focuses on the basic movement patterns of tai chi and really helps beginners (and experienced tai chi practitioners) learn proper alignment and refine their form."
A Complete Basic Form

"I first learned the basics of this form many years ago at Naropa Institute, but I was not successful in finding teachers in my area. So I studied other Tai Chi Forms.
This version has now allowed me to pick up the fundamentals of the Cheng Man Cheng form. It is the best form for energy circulation. This Fundamental Form is very short but it includes most of the major moves of the original form. Tricia is a very good teacher. She does not expect a student to actually learn the form from the video alone, but I had no trouble in re-learning the form that I had not practiced in many years.
