[Amazon.uk Review 1 of 21] This is a really excellent DVD. Stephen Luff has a calm, clear and sensible approach to Tai Chi and a very pleasant voice – important when you are potentially watching a DVD over and over again. It could be used as a stand alone introduction to Tai Chi but, as he has developed his own version of the Form, might not suit anyone wanting to follow a defined set of moves as part of their night school class etc. I particularly liked the extras, and the Warming Up the Joints routine is fantastic. Works very gently, head to toe (literally) but in the calmest and easiest way imaginable. I have never before enjoyed a series of exercises to the point where I actually look forward to doing them, especially if I need to loosen tight muscles in the neck and shoulders. Within a few days, they were familiar enough to be able to do without reference to the DVD. I can’t recommend this DVD enough. A friend bought a copy after simply watching the Warming Up routine, and I have just ordered another copy to give to a relative – again mainly for the exercise routine. I have been loaned three other Tai Chi videos, none of which suited me. This one I bought after reading the reviews on Amazon. ( –Patricia Critchley – Amazon.uk Reviewer

[Amazon.uk Review] Having retired from very active jobs my wife and I needed an exercise form appropriate to our age and life style. First we tried to teach ourselves Tai Chi by DVD and then by attending classes. Being left unsatisfied by the first and confused by the second a friend introduced us to Stephen Luff’s DVD. It is easy to follow and is just what a beginner needs to be able to practice the exercises and movements at home in between the weekly classes. Having now met and attended a session with Stephen I whole heartedly recommend this DVD to any beginner. The movements and the reasons for those movements are clearly explained. The instructor is filmed in a way that allows the viewer to see the whole of the movement, feet, body and arms. The accompanying commentary is excellent. –Barry Barnes – Amazon.uk Reviewer

I have found this a superb DVD for starting Tai Chi. It has been produced at the right speed to allow a beginner to understand exactly how the moves are made. It has given me confidence to move on, although I use this disc several times per week as a very easy, relaxing way to begin the day. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to begin Tai Chi – just remember it is very simple but very clear and do-able. –M.E. Potts – Amazon.uk Reviewer
