      0:12. Watched and followed til got tired on next to last repeat of crane wings form. Then just watched that. Very much appreciate Master Pei's, calm, easy to follow explanations all the way from the beginning or TaiChi overview part. Demonstrations easy to follow, but looking at this on tablet (not big screen) I wished for easier way to see the left and right trousers when one crossed the other (point of view of audience). Would lighter color instead of black trousers make that easier to distinguish? Thank you very much for the care, clarity, and pace.

      This video has helped me so much! I have always wanted to practice tai chi, but no places close to me. Master Pei moves so beautifully it inspires me to keep at this until I can move like him! I have seen improvements in my balance and muscle strength from just doing the warm ups and movements up to the ‘crane’. Can’t wait to move on to the next movements, but want to get better at these first. Thank you SO much for these videos!! ❤❤

    I learned Tai Chi 25 years ago in Portland and wanted to regain that feeling I still remember while practicing and try to relearn. Now that I live in the countryside of Japan, there aren't any Tai Chi dojo within 85km of me. The warm up is so important and I had forgotten a lot of those, but this brought the memory back. A lot of other videos skip the warm up completely and don't explain why every moment is important and what small feelings you should be aware of, just like when you actually study from a master. This is the next best thing to taking it in person, because you are explaining it exactly how I remember. Thank you for sharing these.

Can i also recommend for you to practice 30 minutes of diaphragmatic exercises and pelvic floor strength exercises 30 minutes a day. Then 30 minutes of silence meditation praticing grand circulation visulization. I know this is alot of time out of your day. But im sure if you can do this daily along with your taichi practice that it may help you. I hope and pray that you have time and strength to make this happen daily for 1 year. Then it will become part of your life and your effort will be little once it becomes part of you and who you are. May the heavens and mother heal you. Remember eating healthy natural foods help. 3 bowls equaling 3 to 4 cups per bowl of food per day is plenty. Good luck. I hope and pray we all learn to heal and strengthen our minds and lives.

    I took Tai Chi many years ago and fell in love with it. Busy life happened and I haven’t practiced in years. I was looking for a video to help refresh my memory. I looked at so many instruction videos but none of them worked for me. Too flashy or too “workout” like which isn’t anything like my experience with Tai Chi. I couldn’t get into any of them.
    This instructor was perfect at explaining the steps clearly and with the real spirit of Tai Chi in mind which I deeply appreciated. The movements came back to me almost immediately after 10 years. The way I learned had just a touch more flow to it but I don’t mind. His instructions are very clear for a video.
    Highly recommend!

    Thank you Master for your explanation and tips for doing the correct movement, and detailing the good and the bad movements for the Proper Posture! I learned TaiChi in Guangzhou many years ago; and again briefly when I moved back to the U.S. I only wish that I had mastered all those little tips of a good posture as explained in this video; thus prevented my going into so much joint and muscle problems later on in life. My experience now in doing all the PT moves, is to eventually bring the body to what’s in TaiChi. So much wisdom with our ancestors of how to take care of our Body! Thank you for reviving the Art of TaiChi so patiently, SiFu (Master)! 🙌🙏

    This is the best Tai Chi for beginners DVD I've come across. I'm a complete newbie and this teacher has such patience and such a calming voice that it is really pleasant to learn. It's a great program for people who lack coordination too as you have to go through multiple repetitions of the same moves. This is the only way to learn them. I'm now taking my training more seriously, sticking to Qi gong in the morning and Tai Chi in the afternoon. Just love it!

The instructions in this video is very clear and it is authentic Yang movement. This foundation from Master Pei prepared me to study advanced forms with other teachers. Follow Master Pei's instructions and you will gain incredible health and mental focus. Enjoy!

I ran the whole routine, for about 4 days now, paying attention 😊, and this is the first routine I haven't hurt something just with the warm up! I have no need for other instruction, I will follow only Master Pei now.
      Maybe in another year I can drop the "beginner" !

    Dear Master Chris Pei
    I am grateful and very grateful for your teaching
    My body (shoulder and left arm) has been hurting for 2 months, and apparently thank God I just followed your teaching last night...gradually during training my sore muscles and joints felt like they were back in the right place, and in the morning the pain really hurt. it's gone and I'm completely healed
    What I feel is healing is not only due to warming up and movement, but more because of the self-confidence that you instill through patience with soft words...also a friendly smile.
    I also seem to be able to feel the Chi flowing and directing it to the part of my body that hurts.
    Once again, thank you for your kindness and continue to do good, don't change... may the master always be in good health, body and soul, and always prosperous
    My best regards🙏

    I spent two hours a day, every day, for two weeks working through Master Pei's videos. For an online instruction, he is excellent. I worked on adding one or two moves a day and always focused on the being smooth with what I learned. Today, I can do the entire Yang style 24 forms. Every morning, I do an hour or an hour and 15 minutes, warming up with some Qi Gong and then practising the my Tai Chi. Every day, it feels a bit smoother. I know I have a long way to go, but already, the feeling of accomplishment is incredibly motivating. I highly recommend following this video series if you want to learn Tai Chi on your own. Be patient but consistent. Thank you, Christopher! Xiexie!

    I started doing tai chi a long time ago because i liked the way it looked, and liked the chinese uniform you wear with it, started doing it, they talked about chi, and holding the ball, and feeling a tingling feeling in your hands and in your body, i thought they were nuts! I said to myself ok, people are crazy. I started doing it, kept at it about 2 years. I started to feel it though! Tingling in my hands and that warmth all over and it grew! Maybe just because I was moving I was thinking. I just kept doing it, and breathe and do what they say, it was awesome. I was strong to, strong legs.

      This is NOT Master Pei but Master Moy Lin Shen the one and only creator of Taoist Tai Chi. Please learn to tell the difference from one Chinese Master to another as well as the distinctly different forms of Tai Chi. My beloved Master Moy has passed on well over a decade ago and half these posts are about another man I have never heard of, as well as business phishing replies to inquiries regarding this Master Pei. It is incredibly disrespectful to give credit to another for what our humble monk founder wanted to share with the world. With well over 250 thousand followers worldwide, that's a lot of good people to be insulted by unintentional ignorance. Please pay attention to the person and the distinct form. Thank you

      May I? I think that TaiJi movements are maybe like the yoga asanas: one branch of a tree that includes a few others. Both are part of a preparation to reach awareness, to unite (yoga=union) to our higher identity (太极=the highest summit). Neville Goddard and Joël Goldsmith, explain this. I just discovered Neville Goddard, I cannot fully advise you to read or listen to him. But J.S. Goldsmith: yes! For sure! They are last century’s masters of the Western world.
