So easy to follow

Posted by Sue Wallace on 21st Jun 2013

This is such an easy program to follow. Dr Lam's teaching style is very thorough and he is considerate of people of all fitness levels. He gives ample explanation and plenty of opportunity to practice each movement. I get the feeling he is talking to me one on one at times as if it is a private lesson. Yet his classroom students of various ages and fitness levels give a feeling of being in a classroom with them. This is encouraging as it shows everyone's movements are a little different and gives confidence that my own movements are ok.

The menus are well laid out making it easy to go back or forward to practice any areas that I need to review.

Dr Lam is a quietly spoken, gentle man and his manner promotes a sense of calm throughout the lessons.

I will be purchasing more of his dvds in the future.

Tai Chi, a pleasure to learn

The DVD is an excellent way for me to learn Tai Chi. I find the instruction easy to follow and the DVD is setup in a way as for me to learn quickly. I enjoy performing Tai Chi on a daily bases now. Depending on my day, I can do 30 minutes or even up to an hour. I noticed improvements in balance, muscular strength and concentration very quickly. Rest me only to say thank you very much.

Recommended to me by my Tai Chi teacher, I found the DVD to be like having a personal instructor on call. It is a perfect compliment to my weekly lessons of the Peking 24 style. This revised edition DVD demonstrates the compassion, care and patience of a true Tai Chi master who knows how to teach by separating forms for ease of learning and then connecting them to create the naturally blissful body/mind rhythm which is the hallmark of real Tai Chi play. The menu layout is intelligent and intuitive, allowing one to easily revise and/or progress to the next lesson. No dedicated student or teacher of the 24 form should be without this DVD in their library.
Excellent way to learn Tai Chi

Posted by Frances Cox on 13th Jun 2012

I find the lessons very easy to follow & I feel this is the best way for beginners to learn Tai Chi. They can stop the lesson whenever they wish to repeat or go faster when they are confident, all without the possibllity of causing annoyance or irritation or slowing down others. When the movements are learnt one can then attend a class with teacher who can fine tune them.
I am pleased with my rate of learning & will most likely go on to the other forms later.
Thanks for your inspiration I am impressed with your methods.
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for your excellent instruction on your DVD. I have been a martial artist all of my life and studied many systems and many Qigong systems but very little Tai Chi Chuan.

I ordered your 24 forms DVD and practiced for about a month. On a whim I went and competed in the U.S. National Martial Arts Tournament in Stafford, TX on Sept. 9. It was sponsored my the USA Chen Tai Chi organization. I placed third and recieved a Bronze medal in Tai Chi 24 forms competition. Before seeing your DVD, I had never seen the 24 forms and i did not know that one could compete in Tai Chi. You have opened up a new world to me. It was a great time and I learned a lot.

Thanks again I am looking forward to many more of your products and maybe even a certification in my future

I am new to Tai Chi and am relying upon your DVD's to learn. I am extremely pleased with your 24 Form program and will learn more in the future (48 Form, Sword, Sun).

Even though I have paid in full for your programs, I will always owe you a debt for giving me the opportunity to learn tai chi. Thank you.
