The Powerful Synergy from 4 Major Tai Chi Styles
Synergy is the creation of a whole which is greater than the sum of the parts. Like combining eastern and western medicine, the outcome is greater than the sum of both. This is one of the ingenious combination sets composed by Professors Men and Li; it has a uniquely powerful flow and energy.
I have discovered so much from practising the set over forty years. Knowing Chen, Sun, Yang styles and other combination sets, enables me to appreciate how beautiful it is. I hope you will spend time working on this set with me. Like good wine, it tastes better with time.
Features:
- Step-by-step detailed and in-depth instructions
- Close-ups, repetitions, different angles and foot prints to facilitate learning
- Demonstrations (front and back on views) of each section and the entire set

The Combined 48 Forms
I am enjoying learning the 48 forms of this Tai Chi DVD. It is both challenging and achievable to learn. Dr Lam's instructions are easy to follow and his explanations of the forms are very helpful.
