09-08-2025This is my third DVD from YMAA and by far my favorite. The forms are challenging, but not insurmountable. So far, I've trained on the individual animal forms separately - they are a workout for your legs and I'll have to work up to where I can do all five at once. Even doing the forms individually, I can tell that it is more effective than the vast majority of Qi Gong material available. I'm hard of hearing and appreciated the subtitles. This might just be my favorite Qi Gong DVD so far. Highly recommended.

09-08-2025This is something i wish we had in high school. Great dvd and company in sharing ways to get healthy and why it helps you get health. Focusing on Functional exercises I found myself improving as a whole as apposed to just certain areas of fitness.Great material and this company has a lot they can show anyone looking to get started with Marital Arts or want to explore different styles. YMAA is a great company to go to for arts that will help you work on a better version of you.

09-08-2025Dr. Yang presents a wonderful Qigong. The way he repeats the movements. Than his a group perform the movement makes it very easy to learn. 5 Animal Sport requires more space than other Qigong. I feel a energy and well being from performing this exercise. It really improves the internal organs.5 animal improves the internal organs by flexing, stretching, and relaxing them.What you need to know: There are actually 25 movements combined with learning how to make distinct breathing sounds. So it takes longer to learn than I expected. It also requires more space. In summary anyone can benefit from this well filmed DVD. Thank you YMAA for having this available to learn!
