Tai Chi: The Empowering Workout DVD with Jerry Alan Johnson (Preowned)

The beauty and the power of Tai Chi Chuan is created in the "way" that one moves.

In essence, learning the mastery of the move is far superior to learning a hundred kung fu forms. The purpose of this program is not to teach a series of complicated moves, but to simplify and clarify the physical, energetic and mental dynamics that empower the beautiful movements of Tai Chi Chuan.

The first section explores the structural mechanics that are universal to all Tai Chi Chuan movements and styles. Section two loosens and lubricates all of the joints of the body. Section three integrates the structural mechanics into ten Tai Chi Chuan movements. The final section combines mind intent and inner body skill to maximize the strength, energy, and circulation of power flowing throughout all Tai Chi Chuan movements.

This program combines breathtaking nature footage gleaned from Miramar's award winning collection with Tai Chi movements and exercises. Set to the inspiring music of Jonn Serrie, let Master Instructor Jerry Alan Johnson guide you while the mesmerizing words of actor John Saxon carries you to uncharted levels of energy and power.
