Tai Chi for Beginners 01 “Tai Chi Fundamentals”

[@mariadocarmocarmo3448]

Thank you, Dr Hoover. I'm back to practice and I'm very grateful to you. My name is Maria do Carmo, I'm a 72 years old brazilian lady.

[@michaelheffron3320]

Thank you. I am a 70 year old Navy/Marine Corps veteran who has studied Tai Chi with the VA Instructor for 5 years. She recently left for another job at another VA so we have no instructor at the time. I offered to lead a group based on my knowlege but they declined. I really appreciate this video you have provided. Thank you. Namaste

[@Maria.Ferreira27]

I have been doing tai chi for 20 years now and I can say that took the right decision for my health and my life. This is a good video for beginners who wants to start practicing this wonderful martial arts.

[@deeqigong]

Since I watched this video 4 years ago, I have become a tai chi instructor. It isn't easy conveying the correct, precise instructions and doing the form. Having another person in the video is extremely helpful.

[@linhjahnke2111]

I’ve never tried Tai Ci before but now turned 70’s I’m having high blood pressure I think Tai Chi will helping to bring my BP down, thank you so much your videos very interesting and easy to learn, I watched others but they so complicated to followed so thanks again both of you.

[@donnamcknighthyde8027]

I'm working my way out of heart failure and my doctor recommended Tai chi. I am just starting with the fundamentals. About half way through I had to stop. But! Tomorrow is another day and I am going to keep practicing every day until I can move on to the next step! I am so grateful for the blessing you have to be able to teach these classes. I am looking forward to mastering each class and healing my heart as well. Thank you so much!

[@scottkrueger9003]

Donna Hyde I started with Tai Chi fundamentals and Qigong too! Keep trying and looking for the right practice for you! Tai chi is great for healing❤️

Donna that's great to hear about your progress. Keep up the diligent work. It will pay off. "Slow and steady wins the race" is a quote that helps me appreciate the process. Dr. Hoover

[@waykee33]

Whatever the master says really makes sense on an intuitive level. The vibe that he gives off is very calm and trustworthy.

[@annedyer507]

I have missed my tai chi for years. It really helped me years ago. So glad to find this video

[@dinahabibagahi61]

It's been a long time I started with this Dr. Practicing Tai chi and every time I practice with him it's amazing the good feeling.

[@張俊盛]

Simply the best Tai Chi classes on KZbin.

[@BeachTVCSULB]

Thank you. Glad you enjoy them.

[@ricardogarza211]

I was lost and wanted to learn Tai Chi a year and a half ago and could not find a teacher so I found the Hoovers and they inspired me. I since then have two wonderful teachers, Linda and Jane. Linda Yang and Jane practices Dong. I am on the last part of the 108 form of Dong. But love the simplicity you instilled in me. Thank you, Daniel and Veronika.

[@SHealingMartialArts]

Ricardo you are most welcome! Thank you for sharing your Tai Chi journey with us. That's great to hear that we played a part in it. I will be sure to tell Veronika about how we helped instill the simplicity in you. Enjoy the journey!

[@agsofyan]

Thank you for this. I am in recovery from Covid. It's a great help to keep moving. Thanks

[@fernandomarulanda8984]

I do appreciate the effort and time you both has dedicated to put together an absolutely needed and well represented Tai Chi video. Thanks for the library you both share with all of us. Tai Chi is only for those that really love his/her body. I'm 77 year old retire Special Forces soldier and right now I feel like I'm 50 and going stronger.

[@lisar.4335]

This is such a great fit for me...science AND spiritual connection, healing AND martial art. This hits the yin yang jackpot!

[@franceselaineanderson1556]

What an outstanding introduction to Tai Chi - warm and welcoming and reassuring and clear. I'm 71 - and over the course of my life, I dabbled in several martial arts. More than once I tried to learn Tai Chi Chuan and -- frankly, soon gave up. I found it too cognitively challenging - couldn't seem to remember the movements from the time I left class to arriving home. A couple of years back, I began to practice Shaolin QiGong and Standing (Zhan Zhuang) at home. A year or so ago, I then joined a new seniors' class offering Tai Chi and health QiGong. I learned the Yang 10! Unfortunately, I no longer have reliable transportation, and so the discovery of your online training is a joy to me. Abundant thanks to you both, and to CSU Long Beach for the gift of this program.

[@physiotherapistpaulina9340]

You two are lovely to watch together. I like how Veronica is doing the more basic modification. I like that this is not annoyingly flirtatious like other couples who post movement/exercise videos. Good Lighting, good audio. Please show us more. Looking forward to more of these. Love from Western Canada.

[@capecodblue7170]

I haven't practiced Tai Chi in over 25 years. In these trying times, I cannot go to my Reiki or Craniosacral practitioner, so in coming back to Tai Chi, I am looking to find balance , reduce pain and anxiety, and hopefully find center again. Your videos are very simple to follow. Thank you for breaking down each movement in the sequence.

[@dpatrickb13]

I have taken Dr. Daniel's classes in person, he's a very competent and caring man. Tai Chi works!

[@sarinahay1523]

I was a practitioner of Tai Chi 15 years ago, I stop practicing to focus on a combative martial arts style. Now that I am older I find my self missing Tai Chi. Out of all the Tai Chi videos on Youtbue I find yours to be the most comprehensive. I will be using your videos to help me to practices form. Thanks.

[@13Moondancer]

Hi, we are in lockdown in the UK. I walk 12 miles a day in my job so am missing out on my exercise so decided to look into tai chi after my sister suggested I do. I found your site purely by accident but so delighted I did as your explanations are second to none. Many thanks for helping me begin my journey.

[@Pballmar]

I am near Mt. Shasta California and we are in statewide lockdown and I'd been thinking about trying to learn Tai Chi, so of course went to youtube. KZbin actually recommended this video to me after "it" noticed I was looking at other Tai Chi videos. I'm really glad to have found this one, it's quite good.

[@marynjogu8168]

Slowly but surely you feel the impact I love the taking care of the knees ❣️it

[@qunbinxiong4058]

The real impact of Taiji comes from the nuances between various movements, which takes years of practice; you have explained it very well! Thanks so much!

[@JaneAusten24]

I agree with others who have said this is one of best Tai Chi videos on youtube. With a teacher who goes at a slow, balanced pace this is great for all of us older adults( and little ones too!) I watched the first class with my daughter and granddaughter, easy for all of us to follow along.

[@SHealingMartialArts]

Lana it's great to hear that the videos are working for you and that you like the pace. We intended to create these in such a way that anyone could follow at home even if they did not have any prior experience. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. That's so cool that you followed along with your daughter and granddaughter!

[@katieb9428]

I have never done Tai Chi before and typically struggle with anxiety. I’ve been wanting for some time to give it a try to help me both mentally and physically. It was nice to follow along with a very calming voice and easy to understand explanations. As someone who just tried this for the first time ever, I feel very calm and can’t wait to continue practicing daily 😊

[@dianeborgia7331]

Ive been taking weekly taichi since Jan, 22. My blood pressure has gone down & I am taking 1/2 the meds. I really like his beginning & will incorporate it into daily.

[@almasingeltary1470]

Thank you for this video, I am on day 14, and the aches that I had when I started this video session 14 days ago are gone. I heard somewhere the first 100 days you will feel a big difference. I will continue and I love you explanations. Many blessings

[@aliceyan8808]

I have seen numerous Taiji videos but none offer explanation of benefits in the movements as clear and patient as Dr Daniel does. Finally I find what I am looking for. Thank you so much👍

[@malkatasoff7529]

I'm an active senior and in lockdown like everyone else - really enjoyed but it was hard to follow facing on - would help if the camera could see Veronica from behind to be able to better follow while watching your video - definitely the best Tai Chi for a beginner.

[@andreashelling3076]

Yeh, was difficult following for me too, but already the warm ups SO rewarding! Really warmly recommend Taiji for anyone , at least twice a week

[@janstageman2412]

I am new to Tai Chi and have been searching for a good video series to learn from as I am unable to attend any live courses regularly due to much travelling with my husband in our motor home. I, like other speakers here, have looked at many other videos and am so pleased I have found this one. Your teaching method and presentation is brilliant for me, I am now really looking forward to practicing, hopefully I can find some beautiful, peaceful locations along our route where I can feel totally grounded with the earth beneath my feet. Thank you so much

[@scottkrueger9003]

Jan Stageman there are so many healing arts to choose from! Its great that there are amazing video series to learn from on the internet so you can practice from the comforts of your home!

[@SHealingMartialArts]

Jan that makes me so happy to hear that you are able to use these videos to learn especially since you are not easily able to find a live instructor to work with due to your travels. One way we find classes when we travel is with meetup.com You just put in your zipcode to see what classes are near you. Here's the link to our class if you ever make it to Southern California: www.meetup.com/Tai-Chi-Long-Beach-for-Beginners/

Just started this as practice for posture correction and alternative work out at home. Explanations are clear and really appreciate the context with which it's taught. Bravo Dr. Daniel!

[@SHealingMartialArts]

Thank you Stephanie. I appreciate you noticing and commenting on the context. It's something I pay a lot of attention to. It's great to hear how you are using this to help with posture correction. We use medical Tai Chi at SOHMA with patients to help with their posture as well. Did you know medical Tai Chi has recently become covered by most medical insurance under physical therapy benefits. We've been having a lot of fun developing and refining medical Tai Chi programs.

I'm 7l, feel 40, still flexible but not pleased my body is getting weaker, even though I go for walks 4 days/wk. exercise 3 x/wk. and lift weights - only up to 5 lbs. so far. I need to concentrate on improving my balance to avoid falls and keep my health up. This is gentle enough to do 5 - 7 x/wk. Your excellent instruction is a "gift"!

[@Chi-xxxxxx]

This is what I call real tai chi! Good movements and great instruction. One suggestion, not on your taichi movements, though. When you bow dont raise your hands. Keep them downwards on both sides.When you do the hand salute dont bow. Do one or the other, but not both. Otherwise you look funny. Thats the Chinese way. Good job!

[@SHealingMartialArts]

Thank you Chi for the compliments and for the advice about bowing. Noted :)

[@miriamstollar]

Thank you for this. I am at present practicing Qi Gong with Lee Holden who also practices Tai Chi. He kindly does mirror image so it's easier to follow. I have practiced all the movements you demonstrate in my Qi Gong class accept not how to use the movements in combat. My only problem is I'm getting left and right muddled! and end up on the opposite side to where I'm supposed to be. Nevertheless, I find it enlightening learning how the movements hang together in one flow

I love the energy work- you are a wonderful instructor- the only suggestion is to mirror your moves-I do feel energized yet calm after the warm up

I felt able to keep up with the instructor andreally enjoyed the smooth flow of the moves. Peaceful, calm way to learn defensive moves. Plan to attend all the lessons. 😊

This is the best video I’ve seen on KZbin for basics on Tai Chi, I will use your series to learn how to do this.

Thank you so much for demonstrating how the exercises actually work as a martial art! I have always wondered about that! Terrific cues.

I love doing Tai Chi and really enjoy your instructions / visualizations on the movements.

Thank u so much, you made this so understandable, and took away pressure of having to do this exactly like this, making it flow with ease for me I greatly appreciate it! Your lesson wasn't intimidating, but educational and so calming, thanks again sending you and everyone lots of love and light!

Very well explained but... if Veronika were to face you instead of us , it would be easier to imitate and/or follow the motions, at least for me . Thank you for sharing, i am definitely hooked . The Taî Chi greeting ( or something of that nature) should replace the handshake in our society. Thank you from Montreal .
