Filmed in a lovely statue garden in the French countryside, Tai Chi: Discover the Ancient Art offers lessons in the ancient Chinese martial art and system of movement. Tai Chi Chuan (which literally means “supreme ultimate fist”) brings together opposing yin and yang energies, with the practitioner serving as a central axis for those energies to be put into balance through movement. Aside from brief comments on the history of Tai Chi (which was once for nobility and warriors only), the program offers extensively detailed instruction from Master Jian Liu Jun in both long and short form Tai Chi routines, backed with plenty of helpful tips. Also newly available is Qi Jong: Discover the Ancient Art, which also features Master Jian Liu Jun. Recommended. Aud: P. (T. Keogh)
