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.
Same with me, I did a course about 25 yesrs ago and had to see that I have forgotten some moves in the meantime. So thank you very much for explaining them so beautifully and making us repeating them again and again.
After watching this video many times to get the moves down, I downloaded this as an mp3 file (audio only) and now, it's on my phone and with ear buds, I can take it outside and do my tai chi outside. It's wonderful having Master Pei in my ear while I do this!
I now think as tai chi (God's energy) moves with me I am being blessed. thank you now I will be able to see how Jesus moved through the law of His Spirit with you brother. cheers
Wow very interesting 😊 and the gods energy how was your experience? I am intrigued by your comment, please let me know now how it’s been with doing tai chi and did u figure how Jesus move through the hole spirit and do you think he maybe also did these types of exercises with the flesh and soul?
@@Genci0 I didn't mind the talk when watching the video for the first time but if I'm just looking to do a quick warmup or practice then I'd rather skip it
As beginners, it is so important that we can understand the instructions given especially when lessons are not in person. We must know and listen to our bodies and you help with this. The details, patience, experience and wisdom comes through in your videos which speaks volumes to the master teaching it. I have gone through one video and look forward to infusing your teaching into my daily life. Thank you so much for taking the time to make and post your videos. I am so happy that I found you.
I can barely pay attention to anything longer than five minutes. I had no idea an hour had passed by the end of this video. Beautifully spoken insights and instructions. Grateful I found this channel!
Years ago I trained with Master Pei and his family at their center in NOVA. They are wonderful people and this brought back so much peace and memories.
My mother had Parkinsons disease and she did Tai Chi. It helped a lot. She was part of a research study of a kinesiology professor at our local university. I think there are great benefits for people with mobility issues. Thank you for your video
Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "learning powerful methods to build your Chi energy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my brother in law got great results with it.
I am just starting Tai Chi and just watching these beautiful, graceful movements bring out such great emotion in me...there's no way to describe it..it's as if I've finally found what I've been searching for.
I'm disable due to Parkinson, not much money so have to watch videos like yours and try to learn that way. My Doctor is Asian, He has done acupuncture treatment on me which has helped a whole lock with my back pain, told me to take up Tai Chi so trying to learn as much as I can threw videos
Im sorry to hear you have parkinson disease. Im no expert but believe that this kind of training can help all who practice it. 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 am ( 55 year old female) suffering from Parkinson disease since last 16years. Will Thai chi help in reducing stiffness and strengthening the muscles?
@@rekhadashputra5110 yes I have found it helps me in the morning moving and clears my head as well if I miss a day I feel it as one Parkinson’s to another wish you the best on your journey
my body and mind have never felt this peaceful in my life that I started crying of emotion by the last movements. Thank you so much for your instructions
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!
My legs/feet were frustrated and moving like the roadrunner but my arms/hands were happy and flowing like water. It's like I was trying to do this with two separate bodies. I finally had to turn my back to the TV and look over my shoulder a few times to get it down. Can't wait to do more of these videos!
Thank you very much. I did really appreciate this video. It s the first youtube tai-chi lesson that I 've really easily understood so far. Explaining moves slowly and step by step, paying attention to details and mistakes will lead your followers to do well in this discipline. I am not coordinate and with no balance but I managed to not stop the lessons 100 of times as usually do. After half of the video, I was already so proud of myself and I felt an inner strong energy coming out of my body that exploded in tears of joy. I don t know how to explain properly what happened, but thank you again.
Greetings from Queensland, Australia. I just bought "Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body" for a friend who is a Qi Gong practitioner. I used to practice Tai Chi with different teachers and had a lot of disruptions, movement and travel and have only recently committed to resuming my practice. I looked up your name on the internet and am delighted to have the opportunity to learn from your videos. I want to understand the healing benefits of Tai Chi and Qi Gong as I was a nurse and a bodywork practitioner also. Thank you. You are doing the Tai Chi community a huge service.
Master, I am but a humble pilgrim. Thank you for this saying of words. I learned it a "Breathe" and to discharge the vibration out from the toes to exit the forehead as in a river flows for example. Again, thank you.
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!
I used to train with Coach Pei at his US Wushu Academy in VA but moved to BC Canada 5 years ago. A silver lining to Covid was Coach starting live online Zoom classes. His online classes are once again helping me rediscover my calm and how to integrate Taiji into daily life!
Oh! No wonder why he looked so familiar! I remember seeing as a judge at the wushu tournaments back in the days! So glad this is here to get me back into some wushu. Hope he is well!
This came across my recommended videos. I had an on the job injury 4 years ago. After several procedures, I am now disabled. My doctors have recommended low impact or waterobics. Insurance won't cover it and I can not afford it. I am going to give this a shot and give it my best. I will update this in 3 months. I hope this will speak to someone in my same predicament.
Ok, I am so sorry to get back to you so late. So, with the help of a diet and the Tai Chi. I have gone from 324lbs to 278.3lbs. My pain is still bad! But with the weight I have lost, I have refueled the fire and drive i once had. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THE TUTORIAL!!!!!!
@@j.salazar2288 Hey! Good for you for sticking with it for so long, and congratulations on your weight loss! What a huge victory! I found this video through a friend, and I'm also going to be trying it out faithfully, not necessarily to lose weight, but more to help get my own fire back like you mentioned. I'm pretty listless these days. :( Thanks for updating, and sorry for commenting randomly - I was just very excited for you and your journey so far. Keep it up!
@@shelby965 Nothing to be sorry about! Im glad u r setting your goals! That is really Amazing news! My Main goal is to be 240lbs by December. I have kept up with gathering picture and on my Main goal. I will be doing my first TikTok about this journey! Try something like this! Look forward to CELEBRATING your soon to be Victory!!! Good Luck! I wish you the BEST OF LUCK!!!
Just purchased this and the Quigong DVD. After decades of hard style Budo, I need something now that is still combative in its origins but works in a non-ballistic method to increase stamina, flexibility, clam spirit and increased muscle tone as well. Essential at my age now. Well done Pei Sifu.
Thanks for the online course. I have had two shoulder surgeries, the rotator cuff and the biceps tendon were moved or stitched. Since yesterday I have been able to take off the orthosis. Rehab in 4 weeks. I try to do the exercises as best I can, although I can't really move my arms yet, I think the exercises are at a slow pace so I hope that I will regain mobility and strength more quickly. Thank you again and have a nice day everyone.
wow, I am wrapped. I was looking for a suitable tutorial/class for years and could not find anything till today. Thank you sooo much. Perfect way to teach/learn. Slow enough and heaps of repetitions. Well done guys. I very like the different camera positions. I know others dont. I find it very helpful. Its just perfect for me. FINALLY... YEAH. Everything falls in place at the right time.
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!
I studied Aikido a few years ago and learned many lessons. I can no longer work due to ill health and have always had an interest in learning Tai Chi. I love your easy and clear instructions, so you have a new subscriber and enthusiastic student. Many thanks and good wishes to you Sir, Les 🙏😊
I really love this video, I am not the person to do Tau Chi exercise, but after I watch this excellent instructor with a clear voice to explain every single process for our beginner. Thank you so much and make me doing the Tao Chi every morning now. I enjoy it and more stronger in my body now.
Absolutely charismatic voice of a Master in Tai Chi. Clear and humble sharing. Its my first connection to Tai Chi fundamentals, its a wonderful discovery thru your excellent spoken ENGLISH. Many thanks... God Bless you
I am 58 and found this truly inspirational. Thank you. I am now taking this learning wisdom from you and applying it. 🙏 Very calming, easy to watch and listen too.
I really appreciate the calm, peaceful way this is taught and the insights into the relationship of the movements and the flow of energy. Thanks so much for this video.
I am here for Tai Chi beginner.i am happy to learn how you teach me from the warm up to the movement of tai chi. Thank you and very grateful to your teaching.
Tengo fatiga crónica cada vez más intensa desde hace más de dos décadas. El Tai Chi me da más esperanzas que cualquier medicamento. Así que lo voy a practicar, sin expectativas. Espero tener las fuerzas. Muchas bendiciones del Universo para usted, maestro. Uruguay
Oh BLESS YOU I am so excited I/we found you specifically and these lessons! You are terrific how you teach us and explain everything and how you show us the moves and teach us all about it as we go along. This is exactly what I needed and was looking for. I just found you a day or 2 ago but I think you are a Wonderful Teacher! 😃 I have heard so many stories of people recover from injuries and I am one of them that is so thankful and full of Graditude that you are doing this for us! Sending you much Unconditional Love, LIGHT, Gratitude and Hugs! 😇🤗 You are Awesome! Woohoo! Blessings and Namaste ❤💜💙💖💚💛🏌️♂️🌈🌞🌟💎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I have wanted and knew that this kind of exercise taught by this kind of teacher.patience and softness in instruction is most important to me me. I am most grateful 🙏 to my Tao for finding you on this phone that let me find your video and instruction for. I will continue slowly and with love for this instruction .
I just starting learning Tai Chi a couple of days ago. It is amazing in just a couple of days how good I feel and the energy I have. Your instructional video is very helpful and great for beginners. Thank you for making this.
I live w unbelievable pain, for 14 years, most awful in my neck, up into my skull, my shoulders, upper back...it is never-ending, unrelenting pain..burning, nerve twinging at times, feel like a group mma dudes kicked and punched me all over, and even behind my eyeballs. I have to change, do something differently, act towards healing my body, temple that houses my Spirit.. So, I am going to give tai chi an honest try. You are the best I have found on youtube--thank you so much , friend.🌟🌟🙏🙏
So glad to see this video posted on You Tube. I purchased this video long time ago and studied my first TaiChi movement with Master-Teacher Christopher Pei using this video. 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 noticed some slight variations from Master Pei and some other vids I've seen. 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" ! Inner peace, Anna
Hi, chris pei. My name is Joao Carlos. I fun this class , well, all class of tai chi. I enjoy this arts. In the pass, i loved arts martial, but the life had other plane for me. Its ok for me, but today want learn tai chi for my health and my family. Is not easy step by step, so many steps, but i believe can learn with you. Thank you so much. God love you, Chris.
My aunt did tai chi in her eighties and I remember trying tai chi with her. She was so much stronger than I! I didn’t have patience for it when I was young, but will do it, now that I am older!
For those who, like me, have trouble following with the t.v.- I use the mirror on my dresser, which allows me full vision of my t.v., u have no idea how much it helps!!!
Tongue slightly to the roof of the mouth, gently pushing forward behind your upper teeth breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. How did I ever get so far away from Tai chi? I'm so glad I found you.
As someone who is disabled who needs some movement, I am glad I found this. Tai chi looks deceptively simple. But like yoga, there is actually more involved. But the instruction is great. I had some of the other instruction videos for other exercise types, and I am very glad to find these online.
I am from Brasil: since 2014 I learn tai chi chuan with Sifu Christopher Pei (remote method). It is very very wonderful!... Thanks, Sifu Christopher Pei!... "Life is an eternal process of self discovery". Prof. Ms. Márcio Lourenço Garcia.
Also thank u for the calm and relaxing explanation. Why I’m into Tai Chi started off a drama I had watched based on Tai Chi. I was amazed how they present Tai Chi as a whole and what possibility’s it comes with. Me self thanks who comment timestamps 11:40 Warmup 23:56 Start
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)! 🙌🙏
It's been many years since l learned the Beijing 24 routine and unfortunately l let life get in the way of relaxation and did not keep up my daily routine. I'm so happy to have found your video and be able to refresh my memory and relearn it. Your voice is very calming and soothing, relaxing. Thank you!!
This is the best explanation I’ve seen on UA-cam. So clear and easy to follow. I learned TaiJi from a master nearly 30 years ago and failed to keep up the practice, regrettably. So many teachers now don’t teach like this. This is great. Thank you.
JUst started 4 days ago, doing warm-ups only so far. I can tell this is beneficial. My shoulders crunch when I do the single elbow rotations and the dual elbow rotations. But that tends to go away as i continue. My left shoulder joint hurts when i do the chest expansion. In general upper body exercises produce some discomfort in left shoulder and neck. But the exerices seem to help overall. Without getting winded, I feel calm and relaxed after ...
This is perfect for me. I am a spaz. The instructor is very clear, he keeps it simple yet thorough in his one tip on better balance. His one tip on balance was a game changer for me. How did no fitness instructor ever, tell me about “two feet firmly planted on either side of the center line? Thank you for this!
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.
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.
I am grateful to hear that this is 1). a martial art, and 2). that this can help to balance my energy. It's gentle and the practice reminds me of kada I learned from Karate (of course different discipline - from Okinawa).
Wonderful teachings ,not hurried ! Step by step . Repeated for the beginners to get to grips with learning the basics instead step with great practice . I like this master's teaching. Thank you@
I decided to give Tai Chi a try due to multiple chronic illnesses and limited ranch of motion. My hope is to gain more flexibility and muscle strength. BTW I love the sound of your voice.
Please let us know what you think of the pace of this class, what you enjoyed and what you would like to see. Enjoy!

Greetings from Queensland, Australia. I just bought "Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body" for a friend who is a Qi Gong practitioner. I used to practice Tai Chi with different teachers and had a lot of disruptions, movement and travel and have only recently committed to resuming my practice. I looked up your name on the internet and am delighted to have the opportunity to learn from your videos. I want to understand the healing benefits of Tai Chi and Qi Gong as I was a nurse and a bodywork practitioner also. Thank you. You are doing the Tai Chi community a huge service.
Thank you! Enjoy
Master, I am but a humble pilgrim. Thank you for this saying of words. I learned it a "Breathe" and to discharge the vibration out from the toes to exit the forehead as in a river flows for example. Again, thank you.
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!
thank you so much Christopher Pei... Tai Chi has been improving my life for about 9 years now.
I used to train with Coach Pei at his US Wushu Academy in VA but moved to BC Canada 5 years ago. A silver lining to Covid was Coach starting live online Zoom classes. His online classes are once again helping me rediscover my calm and how to integrate Taiji into daily life!
Oh! No wonder why he looked so familiar! I remember seeing as a judge at the wushu tournaments back in the days! So glad this is here to get me back into some wushu. Hope he is well!
I studied with Chris Pei and I can tell you he is an awesome teacher. He is very knowledgeable and his presentation is clear and practical.
This came across my recommended videos. I had an on the job injury 4 years ago. After several procedures, I am now disabled. My doctors have recommended low impact or waterobics. Insurance won't cover it and I can not afford it. I am going to give this a shot and give it my best. I will update this in 3 months. I hope this will speak to someone in my same predicament.
How is it going? I hope you are doing better
I hope things are going well. If they’re not we can try again 😀
Ok, I am so sorry to get back to you so late. So, with the help of a diet and the Tai Chi. I have gone from 324lbs to 278.3lbs. My pain is still bad! But with the weight I have lost, I have refueled the fire and drive i once had. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THE TUTORIAL!!!!!!
@@j.salazar2288 Hey! Good for you for sticking with it for so long, and congratulations on your weight loss! What a huge victory! I found this video through a friend, and I'm also going to be trying it out faithfully, not necessarily to lose weight, but more to help get my own fire back like you mentioned. I'm pretty listless these days. :( Thanks for updating, and sorry for commenting randomly - I was just very excited for you and your journey so far. Keep it up!
@@shelby965 Nothing to be sorry about! Im glad u r setting your goals! That is really Amazing news! My Main goal is to be 240lbs by December. I have kept up with gathering picture and on my Main goal. I will be doing my first TikTok about this journey! Try something like this! Look forward to CELEBRATING your soon to be Victory!!! Good Luck! I wish you the BEST OF LUCK!!!
Just purchased this and the Quigong DVD. After decades of hard style Budo, I need something now that is still combative in its origins but works in a non-ballistic method to increase stamina, flexibility, clam spirit and increased muscle tone as well. Essential at my age now. Well done Pei Sifu.
Thanks for the online course. I have had two shoulder surgeries, the rotator cuff and the biceps tendon were moved or stitched. Since yesterday I have been able to take off the orthosis. Rehab in 4 weeks. I try to do the exercises as best I can, although I can't really move my arms yet, I think the exercises are at a slow pace so I hope that I will regain mobility and strength more quickly. Thank you again and have a nice day everyone.
wow, I am wrapped. I was looking for a suitable tutorial/class for years and could not find anything till today.
Thank you sooo much. Perfect way to teach/learn. Slow enough and heaps of repetitions. Well done guys.
I very like the different camera positions. I know others dont. I find it very helpful. Its just perfect for me. FINALLY... YEAH.
Everything falls in place at the right time.
Enjoy! So happy you are enjoying them.
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!
I studied Aikido a few years ago and learned many lessons. I can no longer work due to ill health and have always had an interest in learning Tai Chi. I love your easy and clear instructions, so you have a new subscriber and enthusiastic student. Many thanks and good wishes to you Sir, Les 🙏😊
Thank you for your comments, it means a lot to us to know we are helping people.
23 years in Pakua Chang, at 61 I am wanting to add Tai-chi, very well-paced and explained and instructed. Thank you very much, Master Pei
I really love this video, I am not the person to do Tau Chi exercise, but after I watch this excellent instructor with a clear voice to explain every single process for our beginner. Thank you so much and make me doing the Tao Chi every morning now. I enjoy it and more stronger in my body now.
I like this exercise viďio . It is well lucidly explain in detailed or teaches a how to move step by step in Tai chi. Thanks.
He truly is a wonderful teacher.
Absolutely charismatic voice of a Master in Tai Chi. Clear and humble sharing. Its my first connection to Tai Chi fundamentals, its a wonderful discovery thru your excellent spoken ENGLISH. Many thanks... God Bless you

Tengo fatiga crónica cada vez más intensa desde hace más de dos décadas. El Tai Chi me da más esperanzas que cualquier medicamento. Así que lo voy a practicar, sin expectativas. Espero tener las fuerzas.
Muchas bendiciones del Universo para usted, maestro.

I have wanted and knew that this kind of exercise taught by this kind of teacher.patience and softness in instruction is most important to me me. I am most grateful 🙏 to my Tao for finding you on this phone that let me find your video and instruction for. I will continue slowly and with love for this instruction .
I just starting learning Tai Chi a couple of days ago. It is amazing in just a couple of days how good I feel and the energy I have. Your instructional video is very helpful and great for beginners. Thank you for making this.
Imagine the amount of pain inflicted inside the body when your fucking cars driven by those animals was fucking my soul ....🤏🖕
I live w unbelievable pain, for 14 years, most awful in my neck, up into my skull, my shoulders, upper back...it is never-ending, unrelenting pain..burning, nerve twinging at times, feel like a group mma dudes kicked and punched me all over, and even behind my eyeballs. I have to change, do something differently, act towards healing my body, temple that houses my Spirit.. So, I am going to give tai chi an honest try.
You are the best I have found on youtube--thank you so much , friend.🌟🌟🙏🙏
So glad to see this video posted on You Tube. I purchased this video long time ago and studied my first TaiChi movement with Master-Teacher Christopher Pei using this video. 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!
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed. Yes, we love Chris and his kind expertise!
I noticed some slight variations from Master Pei and some other vids I've seen. 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" !
Inner peace,
Anna
Hi, chris pei. My name is Joao Carlos. I fun this class , well, all class of tai chi. I enjoy this arts. In the pass, i loved arts martial, but the life had other plane for me. Its ok for me, but today want learn tai chi for my health and my family. Is not easy step by step, so many steps, but i believe can learn with you. Thank you so much. God love you, Chris.
My aunt did tai chi in her eighties and I remember trying tai chi with her. She was so much stronger than I! I didn’t have patience for it when I was young, but will do it, now that I am older!
It is an amazing class of Tai Chi. I feel peace and gratitude. Thanks.
Clear, precise, informative, and calming. A lovely course. Thank you.
You have me at your Philosophy and the history of your craft. I think you're a great teacher in the Martial arts
Thank you.
For those who, like me, have trouble following with the t.v.- I use the mirror on my dresser, which allows me full vision of my t.v., u have no idea how much it helps!!!
I can see why this works. Now that ive tried it! Im going to use your method! thanks ;)
thats awesum... x thanks
Your suggestion has helped so much! Mahalo :)
I find the masters should mirror it for the students xD
Thanks for the suggestion. I place my iPad or laptop on the floor facing a full length mirror. Makes it much easier to follow.
Tongue slightly to the roof of the mouth, gently pushing forward behind your upper teeth breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. How did I ever get so far away from Tai chi? I'm so glad I found you.
Joana and Diana's dad! He is so sweet and nice! He is very fatherly. Mr. Pei is great!
As someone who is disabled who needs some movement, I am glad I found this. Tai chi looks deceptively simple. But like yoga, there is actually more involved. But the instruction is great. I had some of the other instruction videos for other exercise types, and I am very glad to find these online.
I am from Brasil: since 2014 I learn tai chi chuan with Sifu Christopher Pei (remote method). It is very very wonderful!... Thanks, Sifu Christopher Pei!...

Thank you for your instruction. This is very helpful.
Also thank u for the calm and relaxing explanation.
Why I’m into Tai Chi started off a drama I had watched based on Tai Chi.
I was amazed how they present Tai Chi as a whole and what possibility’s it comes with.
Me self thanks who comment timestamps
11:40 Warmup
23:56 Start
Thanks! I only did two minutes of the warmup and already feel different. :)
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you very much for making these instructional videos and posting them free to people like me in need. You are a saint!
Great video thank you, warm up exercises begin 11:40 and end at 23.30
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)! 🙌🙏
It's been many years since l learned the Beijing 24 routine and unfortunately l let life get in the way of relaxation and did not keep up my daily routine. I'm so happy to have found your video and be able to refresh my memory and relearn it. Your voice is very calming and soothing, relaxing. Thank you!!
P
very nice way of teaching! Thank you!
This has been such a blessing to me and my exercise my health and my spirit
Thank you for explaining from the beginning I am so grateful
Love the calm meditative pace and detail. Thanks😊
This is the best explanation I’ve seen on UA-cam. So clear and easy to follow. I learned TaiJi from a master nearly 30 years ago and failed to keep up the practice, regrettably. So many teachers now don’t teach like this. This is great. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Appreciate that your introductions it very helpfully for stress and anxiety
JUst started 4 days ago, doing warm-ups only so far. I can tell this is beneficial. My shoulders crunch when I do the single elbow rotations and the dual elbow rotations. But that tends to go away as i continue. My left shoulder joint hurts when i do the chest expansion. In general upper body exercises produce some discomfort in left shoulder and neck. But the exerices seem to help overall. Without getting winded, I feel calm and relaxed after ...
You are a fantastic teacher for Tai C,hi🙏🙏🙏
A master of the ornamental martial arts.
I like your calming voice, quiet music and gentle adding of what may go wrong. Do Je See Fu.
Beautiful teaching and series! Thank you, Master Pei. I am going to share with my clients as they will benefit greatly.
53:59 complete action. Leaving this for myself
Wonderful instructor Very careing person & motivational teacher.
thank you very much
Even Your words are taking me in meditation. Thanks for your teaching.🙏
This is perfect for me. I am a spaz. The instructor is very clear, he keeps it simple yet thorough in his one tip on better balance. His one tip on balance was a game changer for me. How did no fitness instructor ever, tell me about “two feet firmly planted on either side of the center line? Thank you for this!
We are all beginners at something all the time.
So peaceful and calming to get me in sync with my energy. Thank you instructor.
I am glad to have found this Tai Chi tutorial I have started watching and beginning to learn it. Thank you very much!
Thanks for videos with proper instructions, very useful in learning Thai chi
His Techniques and presentation is very rewarding.
This Vedic is awesome. All the moves are described minutely in detail. For beginners it is most informative and easy. Thanks.
I am so grateful for your calmness and generosity in providing such wonderful instruction and training. Thank you Christopher.
Yes tai chi is one of the most beautiful exercises. I love it!!! So happy i know the basic.
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.
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.
I am grateful to hear that this is 1). a martial art, and 2). that this can help to balance my energy. It's gentle and the practice reminds me of kada I learned from Karate (of course different discipline - from Okinawa).
Wonderful teachings ,not hurried ! Step by step . Repeated for the beginners to get to grips with learning the basics instead step with great practice . I like this master's teaching. Thank you@
Beautifully explained...it is going to be my morning routine ..love it! Thank you Chris!!
Super
Being in Qigong and Yoga for about 30 years now as devoted student and teacher, the pureness and beauty made me cry. Thank you so much! 🤍
You are so welcome!
I decided to give Tai Chi a try due to multiple chronic illnesses and limited ranch of motion. My hope is to gain more flexibility and muscle strength. BTW I love the sound of your voice.
Thank you so much shifu pei, this tutorial is easy to follow, please continue making us great.
This is the best beginners Tai Chi video! I like how you simplify your instructions and explanation. I learned a lot. THANK YOU!!!
You're so welcome!
