Another ChiRunner here (using the term "runner" loosely). I've been plagued with knee problems since my early teens and had never taken up running consistently because of the pain it caused in my knees. ChiRunning makes a HUGE difference.

HappyAnika, FWIW, I'm both learning to swim and learning ChiRunning at the same time. Although, meeting one-on-one with a coach a couple times for both helped a lot. I'm not sure I could do it all from a book or DVD.
