Warning:
This is not an objective message!
Nathan is my friend and teacher, so I’m biased
And excuse my English
The DVD is great, you should all just buy it!
Buy the DVD to learn/see something else or buy it to support a compañero (I don’t think this word/concept exist in English, but I could be wrong)
From the website:
http://www.taichicorner.netThree Dimensional Yielding DVD: The Secret of Tai Chi Fighting
These exercises are designed for ANYONE from ANY SYSTEM to simply learn how to
remove the target that your opponent is trying to attack; whether the person is trying
to strike, grapple, throw or lock.To give you an idea about the DVD;
This is an instructional DVD
I think it tries to teach
* Warm-up/chi kung exercises; for practicing bodymechanics (I think you guys call it shen fa)
* 4 postures (ward off, roll back, yield chest, push and press) there are a lot of different exercises to practice these movements/principles
Emphasis on 3 dimensional yielding (wardoff rollback yieldchest)
* a short taichi form
* demonstration of some free pushing
The part on youtube: Replacing is the last bit of the 4 postures; doing the 4 postures with one hand
Buy it, or better yet, do a workshop with Nathan, see the website for workshop dates
if you’re in europe, Nathan’s going to spend the summer in Europe, he’ll be teaching in France, Spain, England and Germany
By the way, Mario Napoli will be teaching at Nathan’s school 11,12 of july
