This 2-DVD set contains the traditional Chinese art of nei gong, the key to developing more qi (energy) and maximizing your circulation. Nei gong (also spelled neigong) means “internal skill”. By coordinating your movement and breathing, using traditional Daoist and Buddhist techniques, you may experience incredible benefits for your health and martial arts practice, including:

• Faster recovery and a stronger immune system.
• Deep relaxation and improved meditation.
• Increased stamina and long-lasting energy.
• Ability to hit with more force.
• Improved rooting and balance.
• Refined mind-body awareness and coordination.
• Enhanced ability to store and release qi.

Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming teaches comprehensive theory so you may understand how nei gong can be trained correctly to gradually develop substantial internal power. Then you will begin your own practice with a follow-along nei gong workout.

Learn reality-based self-defense from easy to advance with Master Joe Varady PhD.

This 2-DVD set provides you with a condensed system of distilled self-defense skills and techniques, each carefully selected for its reliability in a high-stress environment. Topics include situational awareness, avoidance, and how to take action, should you need to physically defend yourself.

Martial arts, combat sports, and self-defense are different realms; although interconnected, they are not entirely the same. This video can help bridge that gap.

This curriculum is streamlined and divided into nine logical stages of training that allow martial artists as well as those with no formal fighting experience to learn and develop reliable skills for self-defense quickly and methodically.

While training in the martial arts or competitive combat sports can aid you in a self-defense situation, it does not prepare you for those aspects that are unique to actual self-defense.

The video begins with the basics, upon which everything else relies—awareness, avoidance, and anticipation skills—before moving on to building a reliable arsenal of self-defense techniques. You will progress through a series of carefully selected actions for high-stress situations. The aim of this curriculum is to improve confidence and skills in a structured and logical way.

Topics include

• Awareness skills, including situational, spatial, and environmental
• Avoidance skills to deal with fear, escape, and de-escalation
• Anticipation skills for being approached, posturing, and reading body language
• Action arsenal, including targeting, striking, yelling, evading, and countering
• Advanced arsenals for dealing with ground fighting, weapons, and multiple attackers

Whether you are just starting out or have been practicing martial arts for years, there are important self-defense skills in this video for everyone.

DVD 1: Introduction, Awareness, Avoidance, De-escalation, Anticipation, Building an Arsenal, Action!, Dirty Tricks

DVD 2: Takedowns, Ground Fighting, Weapons, Multiple Attackers, Conclusion

Tai Chi Class Specifically for Women

When you look at the balance of fitness routines recommended for health and longevity, it turns out that most of them were designed for men. They fit men’s personalities, muscle structure and physique. Fitness programs for women have often just been watered down men’s workouts. But women have different needs when it comes to health and fitness. In this program, David-Dorian Ross guides you through a Tai Chi workout designed especially for women.

Women, more than men, need a workout that both strengthens the bones and calms the immune system. Women are far more susceptible to autoimmune diseases than men, including

• multiple sclerosis, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and psoriasis
• osteoporosis, or thinning bones, which affects your hormones

This short Tai Chi routine can be a perfect daily workout for women. It promotes balance, coordination, and strength, supports the immune system, and raises your spirit. The best news is that there is nothing to “learn” in this program. You won’t have to memorize a complicated routine or keep working to perfect any movement. Just follow us for fun, and you’ll experience the healing benefits of Tai Chi.

Wudang Sword Revealed

Learn the legend and history of Wudang sword, conditioning drills, the Tai Yi Daoist Sword sequence and martial applications.

Since ancient times, Wudang martial artists have earned prestige for their mastery of the sword. Wudang-style sword uses flowing, circular movements to neutralize incoming attacks and redirect the opponent's power. This program comprehensively instructs Wudang Sword for the first time in both English and Chinese.

The sword is the king of all weapons, and to wield it requires an unparalleled level of skill. Unlike other weapons which use brute force to clash and overpower, your sword techniques must be precise, and your movements light and quick. Wudang Sword training will make your body stronger and more flexible and will increase your speed and endurance. Regular practice increases and refines your Qi (energy) and develops a calm and focused mind.

This program begins by discussing the legend and history of the Chinese sword. Next, it offers practical information on sword care and safety. The principles of Wudang sword are discussed and fundamental conditioning drills are presented. The Tai Yi Daoist Sword sequence is demonstrated in detail, making it easy for the viewer to learn. Each posture is then instructed separately with martial applications.

The arms, wrists, and hands are the most frequently used parts of the body. It’s no wonder that these areas hold so much tension and are easily injured. From arthritis to tendinitis, the hands are prone to lots of problems.

Blend the Flow of Tai Chi with the Flexibility of Yoga

Master teacher David-Dorian Ross has studied both tai chi and hatha yoga for over forty years. Tai Chi Fusion: BAMBOO is the blending of these two ancient mind-body practices, which perfectly complement each other.

Bruce Lee once said, “Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo survives by bending with the wind.”

The Bamboo workout is the blending of water and wood. The water element will help you discover a deeper level of flow, giving you a delicious infusion of qi energy. The wood element is expressed by the flexible movements of hatha yoga.

Filmed in a beautiful bamboo forest in Hawaii, this workout will make your body supple, and your tai chi movements relaxed—just like bamboo trees waving in the wind.

Growth in tai chi can’t be forced; you must learn to let go. In this workout, you will experience the principle of surrender. This will help you extend and stretch your body and mind, like a bamboo tree reaching for the sky.

Imagine a pain free, relaxed upper back and neck.

Most people experience pain and discomfort in this area at some point in their lives. Living in an age of repetitive motion and inactivity causes tension to accumulate in the upper body. Qi Gong teaches basic stretches and exercises to compensate for muscular tension, nerve irritation, or injury to this area.

Qi Gong, for thousands of years, has helped people alleviate stress, clear tension, and calm the mind. Through gentle stretching, deep breathing and flowing movements, Qi Gong clears areas where we chronically hold stress.

Get to the source of the problem and release tightness and pain naturally. Learn the skills and resources to take care of your body from the inside out. Use these Qi Gong practices for a tension free body, a relaxed upper back and neck, and a calm clear mind.

Join Qi Gong teacher and PBS favorite, Lee Holden, in a simple and easy to follow routine that increases circulation and energy to the upper back and neck.

• Release tension in the upper back and neck
• Clear chronic stress caused by repetitive movements
• Release tightness and pain naturally

Tai Chi for Beginners at Any Age!

According to experts, including Harvard Medical School, one of the most effective and comprehensive forms of exercise is the ancient Chinese art of tai chi. But how do you begin? What are the moves and exercises you need to know when you are a beginner? And is it important to get all the moves right to avoid injury and receive the benefits? David-Dorian Ross answers these questions and more with this simple TaijiFit routine.

Many people believe tai chi is difficult to learn. In reality, a main point of tai chi is to discover how effortless your movements can be. With tai chi, the less effort you apply, the more benefits you’ll receive—quite a bit different from the fitness philosophy of “no pain, no gain.” Ancient Chinese medicine says that when you exert yourself too much, you build up physical tension and mental anxiety. These create a blockage to the circulation of your life energy, known as qi, which is responsible for your health and well-being.

There is nothing to “learn” in this program. You won’t have to memorize a complicated routine or perfect any movements. Just smile, relax, and enjoy this simple tai chi workout.

Relieve Joint Pain and Feel Better by Learning Easy Tai Chi

Learn tai chi movements to relieve pain in your joints and increase your range of motion and stamina. Joint pain causes you to move less to avoid the irritation. But moving less means that soon you lose your range of motion, which makes you more likely to get hurt or sick. Joint pain also makes you weaker and more likely to injure yourself from normal daily tasks.

If you’re new to tai chi, this is an excellent introduction to its moves and its inner experience. David-Dorian will guide you to the health benefits of tai chi without any routines or sequences to learn or memorize. TaijiFit programs use an easy format designed for you to simply follow along without worrying about getting anything right. Just mimic what you see, and don’t even worry about which direction you’re facing.

By using this short program just a few times per week, your joint health will gradually improve, and you’ll feel stronger and more balanced.
