(NEW YORK, NY) Pharmaceutical companies beware! Bringing the healing and
energy-boosting power of Tai Chi (Taiji) to the mainstream, world-class martial
artist Master Ren Guangyi debuts with a beautiful demonstration of this ancient art
of relaxation and self-defense in his first DVD.

Chen Taiji is the most popular form of Tai Chi (Taiji) in the world and the Chen
Taijiquan DVD, captured in high-definition in New York's Central Park, is certain to
be one of the most popular instructional videos. The DVD pushes the limits of the
format, offering multiple language subtitles, and multi-angle viewing.

The DVD is narrated by Master Ren's longtime student: legendary musician Lou Reed,
who created two ambient electronic music soundtracks that viewers may choose
between. The program also offers FlipperVisionT, a slideshow of nearly 2000 photos
by famed photographer Martin Von Haselberg, showing each of Master Ren's postures
for detailed viewing.

Satisfying all ages and skill levels, Chen Taijiquan promotes fitness, coordination
and relaxation using slow, fluid movements, punctuated with quick bursts of energy.
Regular practice promotes wellness and boosts the immune system, while providing an
overview of Tai Chi's self-defense potential. Lowering high blood pressure,
eliminating insomnia, heart conditions, fatigue and other common American health
issues, Master Ren's Chen Taijiquan is a natural antidote for the deterioration that
everyday stress causes to the body.

Talk to Master Ren about:
. Performing onstage with Lou Reed in concerts worldwide
. Training actor Hugh Jackman and providing other martial arts choreography in
Darren Aronofsky\'s recent film, "The Fountain."
. The quantitative health effects of practicing Tai Chi - from healing disease to
boosting energy
. Countering Western medicine's resistance to Eastern healing techniques
. Beyond exercise: Chen Taijiquan as self-defense
. How to incorporate Chen Taijiquan in your daily routine.
