Tai Chi - The 24 Forms (Scroll down to see the first free lesson)

The ancient practice of tai chi is clinically proven to be one of the most effective exercises to improve health, fitness and relaxation. The 24 Forms is the most widely practiced tai chi form. While there are many variations, the form you will learn by working with this DVD is the one of the most authentic.

Following an introduction to tai chi and its benefits, Dr Lam teaches unique qigong exercises and foundational movements which will enhance your energy and make easier learning. He teaches the 24 forms from different angles — using close ups, repetitions and diagramed illustrations while dividing each form into small sections allowing you to follow along with ease. Throughout the lessons, Dr Lam will explain the tai chi principles and how to use them to improve your tai chi.

Posted by Richard Freeman on 28th Mar 2019

some years ago I attended tai chi classes.The benefit was so good I kept going for several years and have had a number of teachers and video tapes .having spent most of that time doing the the B24 I think I am well placed to judge Dr.Paul's teaching style.This DVD is so good in EVERY respect,5 stars are about half as many as are worthy. Thank you Dr.Lam for this wonderful product.

Great instructional DVD

Posted by Nancy Seddon on 4th Jun 2018

This is so clearly set up, with easy to follow steps which are repeated for easier learning (and no rewinding!) and Paul gives oral instruction as he goes along - double teaching! It's great, thank you. Some of my students use it to supplement their class work.

so well made

Posted by Glen Joned on 24th Jan 2017

Having looked locally in my area I was unable to find an instructor. Following the DVD was like being in a class but right in my lounge room. It was obvious to see why Dr Lam is so well respected.

clear and inspiring 24 form dvd

Posted by Marion on 4th Jan 2017

Our Tai Chi group is about to commence the 24 forms. Jackie our instructor with a couple of other Tai Chi participants demonstrated the 24 forms for us and we were in awe. We are all up for the challenge and experience and with the DVD for mid week practice I am sure we will master and enjoy the experience. Best of all any classes I miss will be covered by Dr Lam's DVD in detail and I will not fall behind.
