I compared the prices of the Yang Long form instructional videos:
- Yang Zhen Dou video "Yang Style Taiji Quan" [3x DVD] (337 min for 51 USD = 0,15 USD/min)
- Fu Qing Quan video "Yang style TJQ routine in 108 postures" [4x VCD] (240 min for 52 USD = 0,22 USD/min)
- Robert Poyton video "Yang family Long Form" [1x VHS] (85 min for 37 USD = 0,44 USD/min)
- Daniel Lee video "Tai Chi Yang Long Form" [4x VHS] (243 min for 120 USD = 0,49 USD/min)
- Fu Sheng Yuan video "Authentic Yang Style Tai Chi Kung Fu" [1x VHS] (60 min for 60 USD = 1,00 USD/min)
- Alex Dong video "Dong Style Orthodox Taiji" [1x VHS] (43 min for 45 USD = 1,05 USD/min)
- John Ding video "Traditional Yang Style Tai Chi" [3x VHS] (135 min for 175 USD = 1,30 USD/min)
A good video about the long form must be long at least 240-300 minutes (4-5 hours), so the videos of Fu Sheng Yuan, Alex Dong, Robert Poyton and John Ding seems to be more a demonstrational videos. The right length instructional video are videos of Yang Zhen Dou, Fu Qing Quan and Daniel Lee.
