For Mac options, visit the Windows Media Web Site. For other operating systems, please check with the operating system developer or search the web for players that support WMV (Windows Media Video) for your platform.

Q. Why is your course web-based? Why isn't it a DVD?

A. The ChiFusion Learn-at-Home Complete Course is NOT yet another lame "follow-along" Tai Chi DVD. As a matter of fact, it's not a DVD at all!

There are two important reasons we choose to do online courses rather than just videos or DVDs for our Learn-at-Home program. And these are the reasons you should consider our program over regular Tai Chi videos.

1. Videos reinforce only the visual aspects of the movements.
   
   Regular "teach-yourself-Tai Chi" videos tend to use a "monkey-see, monkey-do" approach to learning. And our experience shows that approach to be ineffective.
   
   With Tai Chi, it all about how the movements "feel", not how they look. With our program, it's the "kinesthetic details" that teach you how the movements feel. Had we done just a video or DVD, most of the important ChiFusion™ kinesthetic details would be lost, since you can't always see them. So it was critical to your success that we use text, photos, audio, plus video all in one package to get this information across.
    
2. The information on most videos is not detailed enough for Chi Development.
   
   To get all of the ChiFusion™ information across in just a video format would require at least 30 to 40 hours of video. That would have made our program much too expensive for our students. We chose the online format as both the most efficient and most economical way to help our students get the greatest benefit from our Learn-at-Home program.

You can read about an exercise, examine the still photos, watch it on video, then dive into powerful chi development details for the exercises - all right from your web browser with a few clicks of your mouse.

We think you'll find that this format will have you quickly on your way to health, fitness, stress relief, and chi development!

Q. I can't use your program, because my computer room does not have enough space to practice Tai Chi!

A. Let me make this clear as possible: We DON'T want you practicing Tai Chi in front of a TV or a computer monitor! That approach is time-consuming and counter-productive to Chi Development!

The primary problem with most Tai Chi DVDs is that they tend to put people into "follow-along" learning mode. In most Tai Chi and Qigong programs, you watch the instructor, either in class or on video, and then follow along with the video or instructor in what I call "monkey-see, monkey-do" fashion. Our ChiFusion program, by contrast, is not a follow-along program, because we've found the "monkey-see, monkey-do" approach to be ineffective and time-consuming.

So with our program, you don't play the video and try to follow us. In our program, you use the video to get an overall idea of how the movements look, but you use the text and photos to get the details for the movements and customize the movements for yourself - according to your own strengths and weaknesses.

What our students with limited space in their computer rooms do is this. They watch the video portions of our program on their PCs just to get an idea of the movements, then print out the text and photos. They take the print-outs to their practice space to work on the details and on customizing the movements for themselves. If they forget how a move goes or if the printed photo is not clear, they may go back to their PC to watch the movement and examine the high-quality photos, but then they go back to their practice space to work.

I realize this is quite a bit different from what you might expect in a Tai Chi program - but unlike most Tai Chi instructors, we are not intending to produce "monkeys" who can follow along with us or copy us. We're intending to have you get the most benefits by customizing the movements for your body ... right from your first lesson.

You know, we have over 1000 registered students for our computer-based courses, and many had the same misgivings you did at first.

While not everyone can make the transition to "not following along", it's actually much more like studying with the high-level Tai Chi masters I studied with. We spent almost no time following along with these masters. They may demonstrate a movement a few times with us watching, but rarely did they do the movements in front of us with us following. Instead, we spent a majority of the time working on our own in learning the skills involved.
