Reviews summary

Practical chen style tai chi for combat

According to students, this course offers a robust and practical approach to Chen Style Tai Chi, particularly emphasizing its combat applications. Learners frequently praise Master Wong's clear and detailed instruction, which effectively breaks down complex forms like Cannon Fist 1 and 2. The inclusion of mirror image videos is a highly valued feature, making practice more accessible. Many appreciate the physical challenge and the course's ability to improve strength and coordination, often noting it as a significant workout. However, some prospective students should note that its strong focus on self-defense means it may not align with expectations for a more traditional, health-oriented Tai Chi experience, and some beginners found the pace quite demanding.

The mirrored video format greatly assists learners in following movements.

"The mirrored videos are a game-changer. It's physically demanding but rewarding."

"All new and improved recording style - Mirror Image for your convenience. (from course objectives, echoed by learners)"

"This course definitely builds strong foundational skills for self-defense, and I feel my awareness has sharpened."

Some found the pacing fast and the course challenging for absolute beginners.

"Some parts felt a bit rushed, especially the full form sections."

"My only minor critique is that sometimes it moves a bit fast, and I had to rewatch sections multiple times to get the precise movements."

"The movements are complex, and I struggled to keep up. It feels more for intermediate or advanced practitioners rather than 'anyone'."

Focus on combat may not suit those seeking health-focused Tai Chi.

"I came to this course hoping for more of the meditative and health benefits of Tai Chi. The overwhelming focus is on combat..."

"Found this course to be too intense and focused on combat. I was looking for something more gentle and health-focused for beginners."
