If had had to do it all over again I would choose a diferent video to start with. Ms. Hooton gives he fundamentals od Tai Chi, but does not present any warm-up or streching exercises before you begin the form. I have taken some Tai Chi classes so I already know many of the movements, but I still find it the movements hard to follow, even with "reverse view".For the beginner I would try another video and carefully read the reviews before making a purchase.
