I love this video and been using it regularly for 3 months. No music,no plants, no leotards just really clear instructions and not too long!

[@dreamthedream8929]

isnt it too slow for you though? why is it this slow? do you really feel well exercised after this? where is it possible to find a proper workout with tai chi moves?

[@sarkaevans5822]

I also love the idea that there are no plants, no music and no gimmicks. Very plain, very pleasant, very enjoyable. Thank you.

[@carolbates1803]

I have been looking for something like this for a while and I am completely delighted with this beautifully simple and clear presentation, this will change my life. 🇳🇿Thank you so much, Carol in Australia

[@finallyKDavidson]

I really enjoy this. It feels so good.

[@dianastaton2569]

I have a lot for physical painvand limitations regarding movement. (The history would not be useful) Yesterday, I tried this for the first time, and, believe it or not, I have been able to move around better today. I would like to know if it is good to do it every day. Thank you, So much for the help

[@mariellenrose6198]

This video is wonderful. I am 76 and this is simple and helpful. By the way, I am watching you from Texas!

[@user-ic3gy6yl5z]

This is the best tai chi video I've found! I like that it went slowly and smoothly through the exercises -- the alst 18-movement was fabulous. I want more by him!!

[@herbwitch5681]

Wonderful video with clear instructions. I hope it’s part of a series, but if it isn’t I’ll keep using this one. I’m looking for a type of exercise that is not too hard on my multiple joint osteoarthritis. Greetings from Channelview, Texas.

[@chloejones9647]

Thank you so much 🙏. As a full time college student this was much needed.

[@jennytelford6906]

Thankyou that was my 1st go of Tai Chi I love it

[@suzannehampton7330]

Thank you so much for this video. My husband and I have been doing your exercises since the lock down every day. We wondered if you would be doing another video with more beginners movements for us not so mobile followers. We enjoy them so much and it has helped us with our balance.

[@malindyargyle1807]

Such clear instructions enable me to follow the moves. I love this video and intend to keep at it until proficient enough to move on to next level. Thank you Ian!

[@Revortay]

This is the best Tai Chi instruction on KZbin. The guy has a gift. There are only three videos. Who is he and where can I find more?

[@annettegenovesi]

What a refreshing change from the usual. Nice clear environment and good basic moves. Thank you I did enjoy this, and feel much looser.

[@covidradio1387]

Ian, do you have more videos pls ?

[@petermichel7717]

Hello Ian, i live in Belgium. Can't attend your classes because of distance and Corona. Then again I take great comfort and feel the right energy by you as a teacher. Maybe there are more people in my situation? Could full online sessions be a possibility? I would be happy to pay for these sessions, evidently. Thank you very much. Good luck to you, Peter

[@mariellenrose6198]

I am looking for to something simple for my older body. Thanks from Beaumont TX do you have anything for a pinched nerve in my neck?

[@raysmith1028]

I felt totally relaxed and in a semi trance after completion is this normal?

[@shijisamson805]

Nice video

[@simonseymour3099]

Where do you teach Ian..?

[@vijyabenchristian5249]

I want to lurn more thanks

[@nitug6871]

Can I do this with seating on sofa ?

[@TheSubwaysurfer]

From watching you it seems to me that if you have any martial arts experience at all in doing any of the forms you can extrapolate the movements from any particular form and performed up in a slow flowing manner repetitiously to get the same results. Is this hypothesisOf mine correct? I can see you also that if one is familiar at all with any of the tai chi forms you can also stream together favorite movements into a sort of exercise like you’re doing here

[@jibanghosh3920]

Knee pain relieve exercise , pl. Show me kindly.

[@bobdole6691]

You forgot to do the rocking of the heel with the right foot forward… oh well great instruction

[@josepreciadocortes8224]

Good catch

[@malindyargyle1807]

I love this video and been using it regularly for 3 months. No music,no plants, no leotards just really clear instructions and not too long!
