Good video for beginners June 26, 2010

I found Tai Chi for Older Adults easier to understand and more clear in the details. However, I intend to make Tai Chi for Beginners the next video I will master before starting the 24 forms.

I like this video. It gives the real beginner the step by step movements so that you can perfect them and then put them all together. I'm very a happy!

My husband and I have taken some lessons in Tai Chi and Chi Kung. The last time we took several lessons we found it hard to follow the instructor who had more experienced students in his class. We decided to try this DVD and highly recommend it as it is really well done and easy to follow.

This is the second dvd I've bought of Dr.Lam's Tai Chi exercises, and by the looks of things it will not be my last.
This DVD is ideal for anyone learning from home, if you have space available to move around in that is, at least 16x7 feet or 6x2 meters.
The way he describes and presents things makes you feel like you were right there, in person, in his class.
Many of us have come across supposedly self-instructional dvd's/tapes before, only to be disappointed when they only show you things but do not explain things intelligibly for "normal" human beings.
This DVD is different, it instructs you, and Dr.Lam describes all the movements and guides you through them.
The first 17 minutes or so consists of warm-ups and stretches, DR.Lam goes through all them in detail and you do them together with his class.
These stretches are designed for Tai Chi so they are not the regular gym-class type of thing, it was interesting doing them.
Then there's an introduction to Qigong with a number of postures or arm movements coordinated with breathing.
After this is a set of foundational movements, i.e. essential Tai Chi footwork and hand movements. He guides you through all of them in detail and you see many examples of it. They don't take up much space and you can easily do them in your room.
The final section covers a Tai Chi beginners set. This basic form is split up into several more manageable parts, so you learn it part-by-part, you see the form from the front as well as from the back - your perspective.
This form requires quite alot of space, at least 16x7 feet or 6x2 meters. I don't have this much space available myself and so I just do the individual parts by themselves in the space I have, works for me.
So if you have the space, this is a good DVD to learn some Tai Chi from.
