Title: Applications DVD on Yangjia Michuan Taijijian technique
Product review: This is an essential companion to Mr. Rodell's excellent book, CHINESE SWORDSMANSHIP: THE YANG FAMILY TAIJI JIAN TRADITION. Newcomers to the system, and those with a general interest in martial arts, can see how the graceful movements in the form are actually of great utility in the context of actual combat. Advanced students will find this DVD an indispensible part of keeping their technique "on track". The various applications are covered sequentially as they appear in the sections of the Michuan form, and each is repeated several times, at slow to fast speed, and is filmed from different angles (including from above). Students should have no trouble following the movements and learning their correct execution.
