Kung Fu Body Conditioning DVD 1 (YMAA)

I'm a fan of Dr. Yang for his Understand QiGong series and some of his books, but this DVD is probablymy favorite of all. I was looking for authentic Shaolin exercises, QiGongs and mind training, andI just so happened to see Kung Fu Body Conditioning. The warm ups are a great exercise for buildingup elasticity and fluid in the joints (harmonies), and the strength exercises are tremendous. No nonsense,delivered by students of Dr. Yang and the man himself. Demonstrations were perfect, no fluff. I can'tsay enough good about this one. If you want to train for Internal Arts or just to train, and you wanttime tested material, here it is.$37??? I've been charged $20 an hour to have someone tell me knuckle push ups and squats was Kung Fu conditioning.Just wonderful.

starting with stretching and moving through all the major body areas and muscle groups this video is a great workout both for those who do and those who dont practice a martial art (but if you are a martial artist its inevitable that you will probably get more out of it).oh and the meditation aspects of the video were unexpected, but welcome. is you are willing to set aside 40 minutes or so of your day to do them you will feel worlds better both physically and mentally.

Overall good body condition exercises, but some of the things (like balancing on the bricks) should definitely be left for younger people who heal faster.

This is a great DVD for understanding the techniques of body conditioning. Most of the exercises require no special tools or equipment. There is some exercises that requires some bricks which I was able to pick up at the store for 5 to 6 dollars. I have been using the DVD for about a week now and I am starting to notice some differences especially in abdomen and root. I would recommend this DVD as a great place to start developing your routine for body conditioning.

Another great video from Dr. YangYang Jwing Ming is one of the most knowledgeable Kung Fu instructors alive today.I have many of his books and videos and I recommend them all.

This is an excellent video; full of information valuable to any martial artist. In an easy to understand format that builds upon each lesson learned as one continues to improve in progress.

Dr. Yang Jwing Ming's Kung Fu Body conditioning is an excellent DVD to help improve your overall martial arts skill and fitness. This YMAA video covers many areas crucial to martial conditioning such as stretching, tumbling, strength training, skill development, horse stance training, and more. What I appreciated about the video was the explanations before the commencement of the actual exercises and the brief explanations as to why one would do these exercises. Another plus for me is the emphasis on traditional methods of conditioning ( I think we have overlooked many of the benefits of traditional conditioning) and the inclusion of modern equipment (pull up bars, etc.). Dr. Yang (and his students') expertise really shine through in this video and their hard work in doing these exercises shine through.Kung Fu Body Conditioning, in my opinion, can be used as a supplement to your martial arts conditioning program, but some of the techniques(especially the tumbling section) should be done under qualified supervision to avoid serious injury. One of the things I would have liked would have been the inclusion of some type of frequency as a graphic or included with the DVD. For example, "5 days a week horse stance training hold for 1 minute then progress to 2 minutes in the second week, etc." Overall, Kung Fu Body Conditioning is an excellent addition to the training library of any martial artist, MMA practitioner! fitness enthusiast, or anyone looking to develop internal and external strength.

Excellent product and excellent seller, a real asset for Amazon
