Beautiful Flowing style

Posted by Erica Bartlett on 27th May 2017

I have just purchased Dr Lam Sun style 73 forms and have been learning section one. I have previously learnt the 24 forms and loved doing it but I must say I love the Sun style even better. It is so beautiful and flowing and I find I just loose myself in it, there is truly something quite magical about it. I love how Dr Lam also explains the deeper meanings contained within the forms therefore adding another layer and depth to my tai chi practice. I was worried it would be difficult to learn but once again, Dr Lam makes it easy to follow along. I am looking forward to the day I can do all 73 forms but already I feel "like water in a river".

Easy to Learn with a teacher like Dr. Lam

Posted by Monika Anna Reiss on 26th Jan 2017

I received the 73 Sun Style DVD 2 weeks ago. Sun Style is not popular in Germany, That's why I didn't know this style at all until mid-December 2016. I directly fell in love with this form and think it will be a good combination with the long Yang form I'm learning for 3 years now. The instructions are very very good, easy to follow and to understand. As the stepping is different from the Yang style I've got to work hard on that, but with the help of this DVD it should be no problem in the end. So far I've been watching the first section and will go on when I'm sure that I've got every movement correctly. I'm looking forward to be able to run through the complete form one day.

Great DVD

Posted by Maxine Ebdon on 10th Dec 2016

I love this set of forms and I wanted to teach it, so I put it to my class after a demonstration. That was three years ago. We finished it in 2 years and set about tiding up and doing more in depth with the principles. Well the smiles on their faces after we go through the 73 Sun Style now was worth every minute of those 2 years. Everyone in the class had purchased the DVD and followed it through at home as I encouraged them to look it up, listen to what Paul has to say about this form or that one. Watch the way he performs it, It made teaching and learning so easy and enjoyable for all of us, I could not have taught these forms with out this valuable reference to keep referring to. My recent purchases of this DVD are for my next class I know they will also find this a very valuable reference. Thank you Paul, your hard work is very much appreciated.

Excited

Posted by Unknown on 1st Jan 2014

I am still refining and giving attention to the 24 forms I have learned with Tai Chi for Arthritis. I have watched Paul demonstrate the complete 73 forms and though not ready to start until I have the 24 forms as best as I can, I am excited.
