OMG I have one of the DVDs! Me and my brother used to make fun the the announcer guy. "And now we go to the group~" Ahhh, good times. But Dr. Lam is the man. He knows what he's doing.

[@moskajarvis]

Hi.. i'm from Finland and here is lot of snow and cold weather now! I dry last week first time Taiji.. and i love it! I have two little kid and i don't have "own" time or time to relax! Now I have motivation to try and your videos are good to beginner.. Thanks

[@LarryRickenbacker]

Several years ago I had pair of 10 minute introductory lessons in Wu style Tai Chi. It was very enjoyable and relaxing. Perhaps even better was that I slept like a baby after each lesson. I'm very impressed with Tai Chi.

[@rose79203]

I love and enjoy practice Tai Chi . I 'm not 80 years old . i have a long journey and too many winters and summer to reach that glorious age. I wish be lucky and reach that age and still practice Tai Chi.

[@tara8686]

i find tai chi beautiful to watch and do, it's so calming...

[@sythmaster0]

i am also 17 and i practice my tai chi every day..... it is very relaxing for stress and it helps stretch your muscles for the start of the day. but i do agree with shadowsabere in that tai chi cannot be taught from a dvd only the rudamentaries can be shown through a screen, to truly experience tai chi you must seek a teacher.

[@timwright743]

I can attest that combining this with other exercises has greatly relieved my back pain from several work related injuries, I am mostly pain free now...every one should believe in this, it has been around for a long time....

[@evebrindleybrindley5395]

First Tai Chi class tonight for myself, husband and 9 year old daughter, feeling very relaxed and a warmth within my body, my daughter was shattered, can't wait to do more!

[@kimhoffman6749]

When I was a child a tai chi teacher came to my school and taught all of us how to do tai chi. I enjoyed it very much and was hoping to get back into it, I believe it best to start at the beginning.

[@ZonkedxSupremo]

What is up with all the haters? Tai chi is good for everyone. Maybe YOU should try it calm down.

[@moneysexCAT]

yes. yes you can. you can easily learn basics and forms from videos. also, if you have some training in marital arts you can use videos to learn new techniques. use a partner and a mirror (or camera) to help. obviously you wont learn the same you would with a teacher but its still quite beneficial.

[@DAFANNIN]

Drink warm tea. Tai Chi is breathing. Sit like a tablet on a chair. Keep the face and neck relaxed, breathe in and press upward. Press higher with each exhale let the arms down after 8 slow breaths. Breathe in twist left, exhale, left hand on your back palm out, right hand pointing left around your head. Alternate slowly 8 times. Right leg and left, lift leg point toes, circle entire leg 8 times. Breathe full in raise fall the arms breathe out do seated Tai Chi Part the Mane. Expect fast healing

[@ivicabulog]

In basic. When a man is angry he has sharp moves of arms and legs. When is he cool then his movments are gentle. cuz mind and body are conected than with gentle pratice you can get harmony in your spirit.

[@WellsViolence]

@drpaullamtaichi and @iceblade05 I couldn't agree with you more Dr. Lam. I have noticed in life it's not about the fighting, it seems to be more about how you handle a situation, and deal with the actions you deal. I have been watching your videos on tai chi, and have been learning so much from you! I currently am training in Wing Chun, and believe that tai chi will help improve my martial art, and state of mind. Iceblade, learn to expand your knowledge of martial art

[@TheKranberryShindizz]

I love the old ppl in the back doing tai chi. :D don't break something grandma!

[@vkelyn]

I just got back from my first Tai Chi lesson, and I loved it. Can't wait to learn more..sadly it's once a week, so I am looking for a dvd to supplement my learning. My instructor told me about Dr. Lam, and highly recommended him. I am really interested in Tai Chi for diabetics as I am one. So many to choose from!

[@FromThemFarms]

my wife did this class and got certified here in Oklahoma I have both videos one and two liked

[@RotnRoll77]

If you actually follow through with the motions, it's all kinds of relaxing.

[@julcmon999]

This one teacher in Sydney teacher Mak Po Sun was on of the students of the two sons of Yang Chen Fu.He was in Lane Cove and people lost him because no one wanted to learn the Yang original form he new the form inside out including sword,pole,sable,dagger,two man set fighting form ,da lu,push hands and Yang fast form .He was one of the Yang So Chung best student and favorite .When I went to I only paid $4 and got hours of learning from him but I practice long hours in the morning .

[@Deoblo61369]

tai chi is very relaxing i also do 6 different types of martial arts and its moves reall play well with other martial arts and will help very wonderfly with that and is as good as yoga if i may add

[@hazelthompson9464]

Great to hear a couple who practices together

[@somedaysdreamers13]

Ah.....very relaxing...

[@spiritcatcher10]

I see by some comments made by young whipper snappers that they do not value elder strength and fortitude. I say to them -know your body and mind and you will be able to withstand the trials and tribulations of life.

[@threadgillb]

Thank you and God Bless you.

[@IronReef77]

Thank you for sharing this Spiritual practice

[@tmo6129]

I absolutely love this. Trying to learn the single movements and 24 forms. Problem is that I just don't have enough space to move around. Can I just connect the single movements from a central position instead, so I can still have a diverse session?

[@TavgaHawrame]

this video is very helpful, thanks for posting your teaching techniques and meditaing excercise

[@DJonX7]

i love asian culture

[@sativaplath]

I can see how it helps older people (ex: blood flow and stretching) and young children (ex: concentration), but what are the benefits for someone in between?

[@antiisaacbarbie17]

Wow.. even at something as peaceful as this, I fail at.

[@Blizzpoint]

Thank you so much for this, paul lam! Stay happy.

[@soniaberong6473]

I have learn taichi forever and i got more pwoer to reserved and more stregnth a nd i have learn it all thank you arigato

[@Rhythmisthekey]

Ian is really good at staying still

[@rogergregoire8390]

I enjoy doing tai chi very much as a relaxation mood art form

[@aaartnaz]

the hand motion kind of looked like ryu from street fighter, i can't wait till i can start practicing, can i still benefit from taichi if i only have 10 or 20 minutes a day? i want to practice in the morning to make me feel relaxed before i start my day.

[@HatoMeshitsukai]

To be honest, I came here to basically learn the fundamentals of waterbending

[@johnnygutierrez1690]

lol

[@DimaAxil]

Tai Chi badass granma!!!: )

[@palanisamyengineer]

thanks a lot ......mr.drpaullamtaichi..

[@shadowsabere]

Most people today are training Tai Chi for relax and health.If you ask someone for Tai Chi he will tell you - " Ohh the relaxing sport ? " . The combat Tai Chi is a little bit forgotten and if you want to learn Tai Chi you CANT learn it alone because when you go on the street you wont fight versus the mirror, you will fight with different person, that will hit you and thats why you need a teacher, not a random videos in youtube.

[@94nanachan]

I have chosen Tai Chi as the topic of my final project presentation. And now I have to learn the moves, mostly the basic moves. Are there any meaning in every moves of Tai Chi? How many styles of Tai Chi exists? Thank u for ur feedback.

[@MsChrisishere]

cant wait to start my class...im so excited

[@Janamechanica]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. I look forward to starting Tai Chi!

[@TheMizushobai]

Which version of your Tai Chi programs would you recommend for motor skill optimization?

[@Freedom8199]

Thank you so much for posting; it has been very helpful, I hope the day will come when you can post more; if course you are willing. :)

[@bloodsythesharp]

@LegendaryDamon Its because they are stretching up!! Don't overdo, Breathing right is the key in tai chi!!!

[@elmotrinity]

For those of you who don't believe in Taichi, you don't need to make any childish comments about it. Watch Taichi Master movie by Jet Li first.

[@gracemaphel7218]

Tai Chi is my new best thing

[@tombraiderguy123321]

Thank you very much, I will take your advice. :)

[@wannabe_D7000]

I want to learn ! Tai Chi !

[@r2stik]

tahnk you!

[@itachisan1993]

taichi is also a martial arts people..don't ever let its slow movements fool u

[@WhereToGoist]

strange that you're thinking about this. well i was just thinking about causality myself the for sometime (in a completely non-taoist sense), and I realized, that if you can describe everything in the body and the brain via physics, then no one in this world has choice, since everything was determined right from the big bang. Choice determines our future, but since no one has choice, then our choices are a product of our environment and our past. So, "take care of our health" is due to causality

[@SoffiSilva]

@HeimdallTheFalcon Tai Chi can be used as a martial art. The movements are slow but if you use them for defense, it works too. Search for "Tai chi self defense demonstration".

[@robertwega1914]

i realy like practising tai chi .

[@claytonmoss1]

A journey of a thousand miles starts with one cliché

[@glennspro2968]

Great video guys!

[@ComradeElliot]

I love the fact that this dude starts by quotiing Chairman Mao.

[@pinkgreenbluered]

this is so cool. I really want to learn Tai Chi

[@1721maureen]

so happy I found this!

[@meganmedical]

A Megan Medical Magazine recommended health video- In Touch with your CHI

[@tombraiderguy123321]

I must sound impatient saying this, but must you go through this version of tai chi to progress to the self defence form?

[@markjnorris]

@FaidleyEthan No martial art is for threatening and agressive purposes. They are for deense and to bring mind body and spirit together

[@shujiling213]

super cool thank you

[@marykimful]

i just discovered about tai chi recently and i just love it.where can i down load tai chi to my lap top?am 25yrs old from kenya

[@chaitea]

@TheNirvanaChair No, there is not. Your teacher decides when you are ready to progress and learn more. No Black/red/green/brown/yellow/white belts. Just you and your teacher.

[@Nicolerulezlife]

would someone like me who isnt able to balnce on my one side be able to do this?i'm scared of falling and yes i'm young but got alot of health problems and i really want to regain my balance back.i think its pretty cool how he explains how to do it bc it took me just looking at the person to figure out how its done.idk if that made sense but what if ur just doing this for balance do u need to buy the artitst one aswell?ty for your time.have a nice day. :)

[@BRFC4LYF1]

@CowLickCodeMonkey I'm 15 and come on if I went there I'd feel like such an outcast! I think I'll try a computor lesson in my room!

[@swilcox1990]

Count calories and get your heart rate up several times a week! If you are really heavy and cannot run (and shouldn't run) you could try a walk/jog. Ive heard that you can trick your heart this way. Get your heart rate up and it will stay up there while you walk (break), then get it going again. Of course Im no doctor, they can tell you what you are able to do.

[@LinkRue]

I don't have any physical issues besides my Asthma that I control with exercise,I have always wanted to study different martial arts, which of your DVDs would you recommend for someone who is looking to become proficient in Tai Chi?

[@deimoslyric]

waterbending from Avatar the last airbender is based off Tai Chi :D

[@56shred]

@ahart09 It is a journey of a thousand miles...

[@eSquared09]

actually the reason people pronounce it "yoga" instead of "yog" is the same reason they pronounce "Rama" instead of "Ram". It has nothing to do with an English accent. It has to do with the pronunciation of Sanskrit. Western students/scholars of Indian forms of literature, religion, martial arts, etc have a Sanskrit bias. In Sanskrit it is actually pronounced, even by a Hindi speaker as "yoga" and "Rama" not as "Yog" and "Ram".

[@MrRobertLillo]

I am quite CONFUSED. There are so many Tai Chi versions, origins and practices. I am doing Tai Chi and it is nothing like this. I am gaining core strength, muscular strength and my legs and arms are stronger. All of my muscle groups are stronger. I am also gaining better balance and coordination and finally, a calmness overwhelms me. But it is nothing like this. I am quite CONFUSED.

[@xanxus1337]

lol i live near this Dr Paul Lam guy xD

[@tara8686]

@tonbonthemon young people do it too....it's a martial art, doing it faster you could actually fight, but you do it slowly, so you learn, but differently

[@odionxl]

Hello Dr Lam, I am plagued with Anxiety Disorder and a Vitamin D Deficiency. Recently i have started the path to correct this. Medications, sleeping better, better diet, basically a whole life style change. Now while i work on getting my energy back, I didn't want to forget about the body. Do you think Tai Chi would help a person like me? thank you

[@FurryMouko]

@IlRezzonico Tai Chi IS Taoism. You become the Tao while performing and mastering the tai chi movements. It all represents balance, oneness, and mental stillness. Powerful stuff, they say tai chi masters can equip their bodies so well that some become immune to disease such as cancer and terminal illnesses, that's all folklore but it is one of the most powerful things you can do.

[@laiecarol1]

Dr. Lam, I have eczema for 16 years since i was a teenager, I have been to difference Chinese doctors and acupuncturist and dermatologists. The acupuncturist really helped but I moved and don't have access to him anymore. They all said I am 脾虛濕盛. Will your thi chi help me rid my dampness and channel the blockages in my meridian?

[@BeckyBandJesus]

Oh my lord I joined a group and didn't know what it was and signed up for it anyway. LOL i thought it was about chopping people to the ground. This is ok

[@shadowsabere]

Totaly agree... The people like that dude that are training tai chi for relaxing are just some people that want money. i will tell something on that guy on the video hopes he understand me - You don't Believe !

[@HomasterX]

woohoo tai chi for health!

[@theonewhosaidNO]

@Kruelwanderer911 it was.... strange..... not what i expected... but it really shoved tai-chi's true power... i think i might try to practice tai-chi....

[@neverhatejustreal]

Will it help with weight loss, (belly fat)?

[@roller325]

@sheng287 everybody has their own way of teaching, but usually they can trace their roots back to one of the five original styles.

[@Siberianhusky89]

When I'm doing pushing hands (freestyle), what am I looking to do? How to I get at my partner's center?

[@lilminer69er]

All those old people are killing machines now

[@JFV1000]

when do i star air bending or learn hadoken?

[@TheMrDwillison]

damn that does sound good

[@rakshasdragon]

How does this compare with other styles of martial arts? I know and practise various styles but none of them are like this with the slow movements. I learn for defense not attack first and Tai chi was recomended to me because of that. Saying that I do have a slight temper (I'm a red head it happens) and do need to learn to calm down more.

[@Skycapten93]

thanks! I will look into them! and yes i do play piano, you may have noticed by the old video i posted long ago. I will be sure to post some more recent work. also i wonder if you know anything about ganglion cysts? i have one that reoccurs in my wrist, but this time it won't go away. Are there wrist exercises for this?

[@LegendaryDamon]

my joints are like squeaking like like a squeaky door hingers but feel fuzzy warm am i doing this right?

[@mrssoonerchick]

@spiritcatcher10 I agree.

[@elfhermie]

Most practice Tai Chi to improve circulation and relaxation. That's why lots of old people do it. It might surprise the young imbeciles out there, but everybody's body decays as you age. In fact, that's what aging means. If you think you won't realize one day that time has flown by and you're old now, you're in for a shocking wake up call.

[@syscothong]

@felipolipi2000 there is.

[@DavidTeerTheBackyardUfologist]

Sensei... Can one really heal themselves!? Can you recommend anyone in Connecticut and I can go from there?

[@Barbaraaltman61]

In your video, viewers are advised to view feel safe. I cannot find it.

[@xXBethRocksXx]

Paul its a good feeling and i like it and it males me feel good but i have not been learning with one of your instructors..... i have a book on "how to develop CHI POWER by William Cheung great book published in 1986 so do you think thins will help? And i do suggest looking it up thank you seth

[@Nodnarcreator]

it would look sooo much cooler if old people werent doing it

[@RVP10Arsenal]

Will this help someone who had a very unhealthy life? Sitting all the time, working and now the stamina is gone. Can't even walk without getting tired. If not, what do you recommend? Thank you.
