 ExcellantMay 11, 2010
By R. Stiehl
A very good DVD to learn Qi Gong. The teacher really knows how to make things clear in the instruction. Before buying this I did some research on him - his background is very impressive in martial arts and teaching.
On this video he teaches the 8 Pieces of Brocade, with variations that can be added when you start feeling stronger. You can work on an individual piece or work them all together if you like. There are also a few extra practices in addition to the 8 Pieces. I have been really enjoying it so far.
Some real nice options in case you need them, such as subtitles, and good information about each Piece and what it is designed for, plus some general information and practice things to keep in mind.
Overall, I am very pleased with this.

I Really Like ThisAug 22, 2010
By Jack
I really like this and how it teaches Qi Gong. He presents the material in a way that I could follow and like the variations shown as you get comfortable. The bonus routines are also really good in helping me develop focus and some additional strength.

Learn QiGongJul 03, 2010
By Louis Coltey
Qi (or Chi) Gong is a great way to exercise to control breathing and to relax and this video has helped me learn it to get those benefits with lessons that make it easy to understand.
I definately feel more relaxed and giving myself some time to do these exercises is now something I am getting into the habit of doing now for the last couple of months. I am also gaining some flexibility and strength. Hugging The Tree (one of the extra routines in addition to the 8 Pieces) has helped make my upper body stronger.

WonderfulJan 27, 2011
By S. Tointon
I took an introductory, 6 session Qi Gong class at the community park this summer and wanted to continue with it. The physical and mental balance it's brought me is amazing. With this DVD I've gained a better understanding of Qi Gong and I'm seeing even more benefits from it. Mr Pei teaches as a nice, relaxed pace. This program is subtitled and with a DVD, unlike in a group class, I can go back and work on a section if I feel I need to, and I can decide what I want to do on any day. If you're looking for a good beginner Qi Gong DVD, this is the one you want.

 I was a bit disappointedJun 11, 2011
By Whitelightone
"jj"
after having sampled and practiced several beginners qigong DVDs, this one resonate much less with me and felt less satisfying as a practice. I would have liked to see the entire sequence of moves as one continuous flow of practice at the end of the DVD, as an option.
I agree with another reviewer who mentioned that the 8 routines advertised on the cover is in fact the 8 Brocade, one set of practice, not 8 different sets. And sometimes the angle of the camera or the distance to the performer made parts of the posture/move unclear.
I do like the alternative modifications he offers for each move.
