 Not Ninja Material. December 14, 2002
Scott Knudsen (Air Ronge, Saskatchewan Canada)
2 out of 10 found this review helpful
If your into martial arts, and think this video is going to turn you into a Ninja with the death touch, your gonna be disappointed. It shows some exercises you do to improve your health and well being. It was the only video that I could find on the subject so I bought it. I tried a few of the exercises, and you can feel your chi flowing because of them, otherwise my video sits and gathers dust until I get more time to practice what's on it.

A key point to remember is that Qigong takes practice and perseverance, but it is fun doing something new and deriving the benefits of this ancient healing art form. Cohen's book (mentioned in another review) is good and filled with more information than one might ever need, but it is very comprehensive...like a small encyclopedia of Qigong. There are thousands of forms that have been created over the thousands of years Qigong has been practiced. Linda's program is very gentle and excellent for beginners. There are other, more martial arts oriented Qigong forms. I've heard it said that the root of all martial arts is Qigong. If you have a background in martial arts, or want to focus your program contiguous with martial arts then Discovering Chi will disappoint. But for a beginner to get started and then move into a more martial arts orientation, you can't go wrong with Discovering Chi.
Some folks have complained about the formatting of the video tape (and dvd too) in that there are no markers to easily locate segments of the tape. While this is a bit irritating I found that after one becomes moderately proficient with each movement and the warm-up one can simply follow the program from the beginning of the tape. It took me about ten times. Now I have the warm-ups well in hand (not difficult at all) and I can simply rewind back to the beginning and follow the routine. If additional practice is needed on any one movement then I can practice it several times and the rewind time is insignificant. I very much enjoy the relaxed nature of Linda's program and teaching. I feel fortunate and blessed to have found this program as my first experience with Qigong Ta'i Chi.
Good tape overall October 22, 1998

This tape has lots of good exercizes, but not much useful information. There is one exercize that I consider dangerous, and should be avoided "The sleeping lioness awakens" END
 Is there something wrong with my video?? September 19, 2007

I just watched this video for the first time. The first half hour shows the demonstrator doing the chi exercises to soft music. You have no clue what she is doing, or why.
The second half shows instructions on the warm up exercises and movements. The instructor is standing in front of a small class of participants and explaining the warm up movements. Her mouth is moving, but there is ABSOLUTELY NO VERBAL SOUND on my video. So, you still have no clue what you are doing or why. Is my video defective or are all of yours the same? You can hear the nice music, but absolutely no talking. Ok, I was totally lost and don't think I will ever use this video.
I would appreciate hearing from others who own this video. Is there and talking/ audible verbal instructions on yours???
Excellent warm-up May 25, 2008
L. Edwards (Pennsylvania)
After many video tapes and "in-person" training, the warm-up from this video is, for me, the best exercise. The warm up covers all the major chakras (body parts) in an easy to follow format. Recommended for anyone who wants to improved his, or her, inner experience.
