Summary: Poor presentation and a different "Jane Story" !
Review: To begin with, this is NOT the Jayne Storey of "Tai Chi Energy Training for Mind and Body" (which is excellent). This OTHER "Jane Story" does the same old presentation of the Yang short form that everybody else does AND with the same weaknesses as a learning tool. I've been involved with the martial arts for over 20 years, buy a lot of these videos and see my students frustrated over and over again spending money on videos that simply run the movement from the front with a long winded description. This video is no exception - showing movements once from forward (or worse) angles, and the close ups of feet don't help. New students do NOT learn this way and will be frustrated by it... which is a shame because tai chi when properly presented is accessible to everyone. There's also a bug in the menu system that won't let you jump to more than the first 4 steps, which defeats the whole point of a 24 step DVD ! It does however get you to the various product plugs for other stuff - funny how they got that to work but not what you the buyer expect for your hard earned money. A big BIG disappointment and wasted purchase, so save your money. And consider the Jayne Storey who's videos WILL help you learn. Good luck!
