Hilarious
This is taiji simpified to nothing. What an accomplishment, folks!!!! Make it so easy that it no longer gives you a workout! Genius!!!

Good introduction
This DVD is a good t'ai chi introduction. The two instructors demonstrate the form against a clear, uncluttered background and then repeat the various postures and motions slowly, with commentary, so that you can easily follow them while watching. It's presented in a friendly, common-sense way.

The accompanying book consists almost entirely of textual descriptions and photographs of the parts of the form, which don't seem very necessary given the presence of the DVD. Some simplified diagrams of the motions might have made things clearer than the photographs.

Good introduction
This is a simple introduction to tai chi, aimed at the pure beginner. It provides a step by step routine which can easily be performed at home. There are plenty of clear illustrations, and the text is also very straightforward. There is a 40-minute accompanying DVD. Overall this is a good value introduction, presenting a simplified but accurate form of tai chi.
