Outstanding instruction!!! December 11, 2007
35 out of 38 found this review helpful
Have spent the past month evaluating the "Sunrise Tai Chi" DVD by Ramel Rones, and am much impressed with everything from production values to the quality of instruction.
DVD is split into 3 main sections: Demonstration, Instruction, and Workout. "Demonstration" shows Rones going through each of the exercises with a flute & harp playing in the background (with the notable exception of some cool Asian trip-hop beats during a few of the more aerobic exercises -- sadly, I was unable to find the musical credits). "Instruction" has Rones describe the proper execution of each exercise in a highly detailed and specific manner -- he discusses and demonstrates a variety of subtleties that could not be adequately described on the printed page, and this information will be of great value to instructors who wish to teach these movements to others. "Workout" is divided into 20, 40, or 60 minute workouts, with your choice of either traditional flute & harp or piano music in the background.
Ramel Rones is a Master instructor, and this is quite possibly the finest instructional DVD I've hat the privilege to view and practice. Best implemented with a widescreen or projection television (which I do not have) . . . somewhat frustrating on a laptop screen (but fortunately there is a large screen TV with DVD deck at work).
Highly recommended!
A Great Introduction October 4, 2007

Sunrise Tai Chi is a highly informative and flexible (so to speak) introduction to the topic. As a relative beginner, who is both a cancer patient and an academic neurologist, I have found Rones' style to be direct, logical, and easy to follow. He breaks down every exercise into manageable components that can be adapted to any level of experience, physical condition, or age. The visual effects and music also enhance the instruction.
great dvd, with tons of info June 19, 2007

This is my first Tai Chi DVD, and after my first try I was amazed and am now addicted to it. I regularly do Yoga but after trying Tai Chi , I'm hooked. This DVD is so relaxing and energizing, and full of great information.
I skimmed through the DVD at first then I watched the whole thing. Mr Rones gives you really great instructions. There is a specific instruction section that lets you understand and try to learn the different techniques associated with Tai Chi. If you are a beginner I suggest you put some time aside and try to watch the entire DVD before you begin. to get instructions and a basic understanding.
The DVD lets you choose your music and I just love watching it because it's very relaxing and soothing. I absolutely am addicted to this and am looking forward to better my Basic Tai Chi skills through this DVD. Can't wait to try it again after work when I get home. I do this any time of the day and I absolutely love it! It helps me relieve all of my stress and tension from work.
I'm definately looking into getting his books and other DVD's as well.
Excellent for returning to good health May 14, 2007

I have recently been diagnosed with Graves Disease (a Thyroid autoimmune disease) and many books I am reading recommend Tai Chi as a proven help to sufferers.
I find this DVD excellent for beginners, my husband is learning it with me. Just watching it makes you relax!! He takes you through every step very thoroughly and with excellent descriptions of how to achieve and what you will gain, including animations of Qi energy. It is very uncommercialised, I just feel like I am in a room one on one with the instructor, which I really like.
There is just so much content on here it is excellent value and I am sure will be our Tai Chi bible for many years to come. There is also a great links page to his website, where he has many interesting items, including clothing and music, you can purchase.
Highly recommended if you want to learn Tau Chi from a Master properly, not just because it's the latest 'thing to do'!
