International Master Tai Chi instructor David-Dorian Ross begins this course from The Great Courses by diving right into demonstrating Tai Chi in action. He then gives viewers a brief introduction as to what Tai Chi is and how it started, coming out of the Taoist tradition. He then demonstrates the Yang-style 40-movement form that he will be teaching throughout the course.
