Easy to follow Tai Chi instructions
Thank you Dr Lam for explaining the moves slowly and clearly. The diagrams and having more than one person demonstrating assists in doing the exercises correctly. I used to think Tai Chi was just a gentle exercise for old people. Coming from a background of doing Rock Climbing, Abseiling and Classical Ballet I have found it is a good workout. It helps me to stretch and warm up so I can avoid injuries when doing fieldwork. Many research students complain about having a sore back and knees from sitting down all day. Doing Tai Chi helps me to concentrate when I'm studying and avoid tense muscles in the neck, shoulders and face which cause headaches. It's convenient to have these DVDs because I can do these exercises when it suits me.

couldn't be better
I am 75 years old and after having bought Tai Chi for Beginners and begun to put into practise the lessons by Dr lam I am delighted with the detailed and step by step demonstrations of the forms and I am looking forward to developing strength and fitness from the application of the forms.

Easy exercise for beginners
This is a very easy & gentle introduction to tai chi. Dr Lam first demonstrates the exercises and then breaks it down into easy to follow steps. As Dr Lam says himself, this may seem "not very exciting" but it does clearly set the foundations for an ongoing exercise program. I like the quiet and calm manner of instruction.

Well done
This DVD is so easy - wish all other tutorials were also as easy. I am slowly working my way through the DVD and trying not to tear ahead. It is right what Dr Lam says, to perserve and take it slowly - you get the best results that way.

The best tai chi tuition
Dr Paul Lam explains and demonstrates tai chi in such a clear, easy to follow manner that it is a pleasure to watch his classes, to learn new moves and practise them. I am very happy with this DVD, will purchase the next one when I conclude lesson 8, and heartily recommend it.
