The Book is Sufficient

First of all let me say I have the utmost respect for the authors.
The book is excellent. However, the video adds little insight (At least it didn't for me). The video simply demonstrates the 16 exercises described in the book. There are no further explanations or elaborations. Unless you have no
familiarity at all with slow qi gong (taiji-like) movements the video will put you to sleep. The explanations in the book if followed carefully are adequate. In the video the demonstrator silently goes through the 16 exercises with approximately 15-20 repetitions of each movement (Why go through the whole set with 15+ repetitions? The video would be far more useful with a few {3-5 reps} and further explanations. Basically, all the reps are just to fill tape {In my opinion}) I personally would have like to have seen some of the spear, standing, "bagua-like stepping", and "before bed" exercises shown and mentioned in the book demonstrated and elaborated on in the video. Having said all that. If you are an absolute beginner/neophyte/"clueless about Qigong", the video will be an excellent reference to see the movements actually carried out. Those with even a little experience with qigong will get little out of the video.
