It’s not a how-to-do DVD but rather a documentary on this ancient martial art form. It’s shot in HD with an inspiring sound track. I’ve been training in the martial arts since 1965, which includes tai chi study. I highly recommend this high quality, well produced DVD.” Loren Christensen, Portland, Oregon, USA.Journey deep into the heart of China to explore the mysterious martial art of Tai chi chuan. We start this exploration with a small park at the Forbidden City in Beijing. But this is no ordinary scene. Yang style Tai chi has been taught in this same location by the same family of Tai chi masters for over one hundred years. Today we meet the 5th generation descendent, Master Cui Zhongsan – one of the worlds top Yang style masters.Yang style originated from the Chen style, so off we go to Chen Village. The opening sequence of the great Chen Xiaowang performing Chen Tai chi beside the Yellow river will be a classic scene to remember. We take you inside the Chen village school and witness demonstrations not only by the students but by Xiaowang himself, much to the delight of the villagers! His brother Chen Xiaoxing, who runs the school – (and Chen village probably), then performs Chen New frame – one of the best Tai chi forms we have ever seen – and in the courtyard of the Chen family temple. Both Xiaowang and Xiaoxing provided us with some great interviews on Chen’s history, present and future practice both in Chin and abroad, and what Tai chi really means. Chen village is called the birthplace of Tai chi – and records correctly point to this. So where does that leave Wudang Mountain? In the final segment of Masters of Heaven & Earth we take you to Wudang and to the top Wudang master, Priest Zhong Yun Long – who insists Tai chi all started at Wudang. Certainly, we met and filmed some incredible Tai chi at Wudang – amid the peaks and valleys with, yes, even with a little mist rising! His students have now taken over the teaching and provided us with some beautiful scenes of martial arts including baguazhang and Wudangquan. In depth interviews with Zhong Yun Long, Master Yuan and even some foreign students really tell the Wudang story. Even the non-martial arts viewers will love every frame of the Wudang Mountain scene – beautiful Tai chi set to modern fusion music. Is Wudang the rightful birthplace? We think it is certainly the spiritual home of Tai chi – where Taoism and Tai chi are one and the same for Wudang masters.
