If you can only afford one martial Taiji video, try this one
Useful info for the reality / self defense practitioner. If you've taken traditional martial arts and wanted to find more depth and realism, or competitive MMA styles and wanted to find more street application I wll tell you this video opened new worlds for me. If you have a decent grasp of mechanical concepts and any experience in wrestling, ju jitsu, judo, aikido, jeet kune do, or just good coordination you should be able to see all kinds of opportunities from these techniques. I would especially recommend it at least for review and consideration by karate, jeet kune do, and boxing practitioners. The likes of whom may have a hard time adapting the principals to their style but believe me, when you get it YOU GET IT. I was a karate black belt who always knew there was more to it then I was taught, and after meeting a ( competant) Taiji practitioner I started rebuilding my curriculum and what I have now is miles ahead of what karate alone gave me. Dr. Yang will break down and de-mystify the techniques to their true mechanical level and how they are used to manipulate the opponents balance efficiently. With some imagination you can easily picture how to integrate strikes in to it and make your old style work for you; BETTER THAN IT DID BEFORE.The only weak point I can see is you will at some point need a competant instructor in some real fighting art to get the most out of it. But it doesn't have to be taiji based. I would actually recommend the escrima styles more over as they will integrate well with both Chinese and Japanese systems. Don't know what escrima is? It's philipino, and it's what was used to correograph the fight scenes in the Bourne series.Good luck.

OK
Not a mix martial art person. But seems to me a lot of some moves. Good teacher and shows well. Maybe some slow moe would help me better. Or it’s just me. Dr. Yang knows a lot of these Art. I could be just slow.

Love this video
Love this video. I also have the other video Kung Fu Wrestling by Dr Yang Jwing-Ming.The tai chi video main difference is how you get into the technique via feeling the opponents movement, as opposed to intercepting strikes.So this one is great to perform takedowns from the bridge. He goes into great depth, and as with Kung Fu Wrestling you get to see common mistakes.

here's a winner
In 2014 at a BJJ workshops is where I discovered the hidden power of TAI CHI CHUN is wrestling.Because of time limitations, I may have only10 to20 minutes a day to practice,but I'm feeling the difference ALL ready and I don't even have a training partner,so I act as if.Dr.Yang makes it easy to learn.

Not very interesting
Master Yang Jwing Ming made that DVD with his students : none of them seem to have the slightest idea of what Chinese wrestling is.In fact, the level in Taijiquan of these students is pathetic.
