Combat Tai Chi 6 DVD Set by Mark Cheng

Perhaps the world's most widely practiced, yet most misunderstood, martial art, Tai Chi was born of combat, but its "soft" and "fluid" motions set it apart from other styles. A complete fighting system, Tai Chi includes deceptive kicks, relaxed punches, powerful throws, and painful locks. Dr Mark Cheng, one of Tai Chi's exciting instructors and scholars, has researched the applications of the Yang style long form since his childhood. He illuminates many of the secrets of full-body fighting in this Combat Tai Chi series.
