Tai Chi – Discover The Ancient Art

Spiral Movements form the basis of all Tai Chi Chuan, and in this feature-length program, Master Jian Liu Jun focuses on them as he teaches the Yi Ying, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, Spiral Movements and the Figure 8. The Figure 8 is a short form, which is ideal for learning the essential Tai Chi techniques. It is also one of the forms used in Chen style Tai Chi competitions.

"In Tai Chi – Discover The Ancient Art," every exercise is fully explained and illustrated in detail. Each chapter includes tips on how to get the best out of this superb interactive program. The DVD was filmed in the Garden of Bronzes at the Coubertin Foundation in Saint-Remy les Chevreuse, France.

Qi Gong – Discover The Ancient Art

This two-DVD set is a comprehensive guide to understanding and learning the 4,000-year-old techniques of Qi Gong, the Chinese practice of aligning breath, movement and awareness for exercise, healing and meditation.

Over the course of three hours, distinguished martial arts teacher, Master Jian Liu Jun demonstrates a broad range of Qi Gong techniques. Akli Hammadi, a Qi Gong instructor for more than 15 years and a federal monitor for the Tai Chi Chuan and Qi Gong Federation, guides you through each movement.

Disc 1 provides an introduction to Chinese philosophy and the techniques required to execute the 18 Tai Chi Qi Gong movements. Disc 2 goes deeper into the movements, exploring the 8 Pieces of Brocade and the 5 Animals.

Master Jian Liu Jun is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, professor of traditional Chinese medicine at Guangzhou University, and past Vice President of the Guangzhou Shaolin Qi Gong Association.
