I have a bunch of these things I’ve gotten. The vcds are only like 5 bucks where i get them and now the videos are coming down a bit. I like the wudang vcd, the one that is like a compilation of all the wudang ones. I like the video of the first shaolin tour that came here, the one with shi goulin and yanming and the guy with the big huge glasses. any one with applications is cool.

the Wudang one with the horsetail whisk is strange.  who'd fight someone with a horsetail whisk?  I have the ziranmen one where he knocks over a brick from like 8 feet away with his chi power :D   staged I'm sure.

Honestly I think my favorite one is vincnt chu's basic taichi tape.  I just like his style.  His tai chi is much less flowery than alot of the others and his physique is similar to mine (like a lumbering bear).  I don't rally have the patience to study tai chi, but hopefully one day I will.  I'm in Boston after all.

I meant I only have VHS instructionals. The one’s I get tend to not have gone DVD yet. And generally, I’m buying more to be educated than to learn the material, so I’m not against just borrowing a VCR to play them.

And my playstation 2 does the dvd’s darn good :smiley:
