We want to make ABSOLUTELY SURE "CIG to Tai Chi & Qigong"
purchasers have access to our multi-media video support.
SCROLL DOWN to begin using this book's web-video support via Youtube embeds or links on the following "CIG" pages. HOWEVER, IF YOU LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE YOUTUBE VIDEOS ARE BLOCKED ... you can also download/view our web support videos by clicking here. BUT, the Youtube videos below are much more convenient, so scroll down to use them if you can. Most readers should have no problem doing so.
author's note on use of this book & web-video support (which starts by scrolling down from here):
Occasionally, I'll get a reader of my book who is in a hurry to GET TO THE TAI CHI LEARNING. And you can, by going to Chapter 13 of this book. Many of us are drawn to Tai Chi because we are type A personalities, and we know we need to slow down. And Tai Chi and Qigong will slow your life down, as you play with the tools.
But I want you to relax in the knowing that you are in full control of how you use this book and web-video support videos. You will see a Table of Contents at the top of every page in this Web-Video Support site, so that you can go to any chapter you like at any time. In Chapter 13 "Tai Chi Long Form" you'll find a Table of Contents just for Chapter 13's sixty-four movements of the Tai Chi Long Form taught in that chapter:
Click directly to chapter: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 22, APPENDIX: A, B, C
BUT, before you rush forward, let me share a little story about the value of slowing down, and starting from the beginning. Years ago, I got a note from a CIG to Tai Chi reader from England. He wrote that he had purchased my DVD, and had skipped over the introduction and Sitting Qigong Meditation, and went straight to the DVD's Tai Chi instruction and learned the Tai Chi Long Form. Then he wrote, "A few days ago, I decided to go back to the beginning of your DVD and experienced your intro and Sitting Qigong Meditation, before doing my Tai Chi, and the difference was AMAZING! The quality and depth of experience was vast and profound."
If you start here at the beginning of the book, and read through all the chapters leading up to Chapter 13, when you do get to the Tai Chi instruction your quality of Tai Chi learning will be vastly deepened. But, this is your book, you bought it, and I want you to enjoy it in any way you like, I only want you to get the most out of your tai chi journey. I spent many years creating this multi-media resource for you, because I love to share the arts that have really been such a treasure in my life, and provided so much healing for so many of my readers and students around the world.
-- Bill Douglas, author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Tai Chi & Qigong" and the "Tao of Tai Chi: The Making of a New Science," and Founder of World Tai Chi & Qigong Day

NEARLY 150 WEB-VIDEO SUPPORT VIDEOS: CIG TO TAI CHI & QIGONG
BELOW YOU'LL FIND WEB-VIDEO SUPPORT FOR "CIG TO TAI CHI & QIGONG'S" UNEQUALED MULTI-MEDIA BOOK
YOU WILL FIND THAT THE COMBINATION OF THIS BOOK'S GRAPHIC-IMAGE, TEXT INSTRUCTION, AND THIS PAGE'S VIDEO SUPPORT ARE UNEQUALED BY ANY EXERCISE BOOKS, and all of this is created by world renowned experts in Tai Chi and Qigong Meditation for Health who have taught in many of the nation's major medical institutions and have seen students get AMAZING benefits from this book's SMART Tai Chi program (see below video of some of them). The illustrated images in the book were designed by a professional artist who actually does this style of Tai Chi long form, which enabled her to have deep insight into details any ordinary commissioned artist would not have, making this book's instructionals even more unique.
In addition to all of that, the authors/presenters of this book and web-videos are: The 2009 Inductees to the Internal Arts Hall of Fame, creators of Prevention Magazine's Tai Chi Tutorial, "Boost Your Immune System with Tai Chi," and they are the Founders of World T'ai Chi & QiGong Day, and Bill is the Official Tai Chi Expert for DrWeil.com. Bill & Angela Wong Douglas have been Tai Chi sources for media worldwide, including The New York Times; Prevention Magazine; Self Magazine; Strive Magazine; BBC World Radio; China's Xinhua News Agency, and their book was recommended by American Airlines' American Way in-flight Magazine. They currently teach Tai Chi Meditation programs for the University of Kansas Hospital System.
SCROLL DOWN, or click below to go directly to videos for each chapter of CIG to Tai Chi & Qigong
Click directly to chapter: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 22, APPENDIX: A, B, C
Again, you can also go directly to check out the multi-media TAI CHI LONG FORM INSTRUCTIONAL pages, by clicking below. HOWEVER, as stated in his opening note, the author highly recommends you start from the beginning of the book to learn about the facets and aspects and the scientifically proven health benefits of Tai Chi before starting your Tai Chi lessons. Traditional Chinese Medicine understood that if you understand the benefits, you actually get more benefits from the therapy. SO, TO START FROM THE BEGINNING ... SCROLL DOWN.
BUT, IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY, by all means, go check out Chapter 13's Long Form and play some Tai Chi. BUT THEN, come back to the beginning, because you will find the Tai Chi experience much richer by opening to the depth of Tai Chi understanding these chapter 1 thru 12 offer you. Play! Have Fun! It is your journey ;-)
* As mentioned above, you will find a web-video support Table of Contents at the top of each page, to help you navigate to any of the CIG Chapter's videos you want. And will also have an internal "Chapter 13 Long Form" Table of Contents like the one below, to make it easy to navigate the Tai Chi Long Form Chapter 13, when you do get to the Tai Chi instruction of movements in that chapter.
Table of Contents for Chapter 13's Tai Chi Long Form Instructional Pages:
