David Carradine’s Tai Chi Workout for Beginners
David Carradine’s Tai Chi Workout for Beginners While the title might seem like something more likely to be found on one of Letterman’s Top 10 Lists (”Future Careers of movie Has-Beens” or “Reasons to Wear Pajamas in Public”), David Carradine’s Tai Chi Workout for Beginners is nothing if not completely serious. Carradine narrates and helps a certified tai chi instructor lead three students through the Chen style, considered by some to be the original style of tai chi. Against an ever-changing (and distracting) nature video backdrop, the 60-minute tape breaks the exercises into sections: “Opening the Gates” loosens and warms major joints; “Specific Health” movements relieve headaches or soothe joints, for instance; “Stillness” harnesses the mind’s powers; “Linkage” shows how to combine the moves; and in “Coil & Flow” you see how it’s supposed to look once you know what you’re doing. It’ll take repeated viewings to master this ancient and complicated martial art- -the number one reason to own this video. –Valerie J. Nelson
Customer Review: David Carradine’s Star Trek
This has got to be the worst video I have ever seen. The ever changing back ground made me feel like I was watching a Star Trek movie. It looked like they were being beamed around everywhere. At times I felt sea sick. I was really looking forward to this tape. How disappointing it is.
