REVIEWS

Martial Arts Publisher of the Year, 2008 NQA World Congress on Qigong and TCM

5 of 5 stars, Jimu Tan (Australia) July 2008,
Another very good dvd from Dr.Yang

Plenty of training drills to keep the beginner/intermediate user busy for ages with excellent tutorials for each. Anyone who has viewed one of Dr.Yang's dvd's will be familiar with the presentation and structure of this dvd. Those who have not will be pleasantly suprised by it's quality and easy to use nature. Logical drill progression and easy to skip to chapters. Just make sure you don't put your saber through your TV set! Enjoy!
