My husband and and I are both disabled with poor balance, we are both struggling with lifting our feet and I have actually fallen. Is there an alternative that we can do. Our upper body is fine for the exercises shown.
I had a hip replacement three months ago. I know there are limitations to what I can do being that I am in Physical Therapy right now. This looks like it will help me in strengthening my quads and arms. I am 67 years old. I’m on my journey to walking again without the aid of a walker or a cane! It’s been 11 years since I’ve been able to do that. I’m determined! Ty for your videos! Can’t wait to start!
Chung Nguyen, of course I am not a kungfu master, I only interested in bringing health and happiness to people through tai chi. I dislike fighting and violence. I want to help people fight for better quality of life, fight for harmony and peace. I am a medical doctor who focuses on preventive medicine, my colleagues and I care about people and their health. I have been a family physician for over forty years, I involved in many medical research - my passion is at helping people.
I have answered this several times, making a dvd is a very expensive exercise, once made it is difficult to change let alone the immense cost. Our team did our best, we paid for a professional announcer - and did everything else as profesional and as good as we could. We produced our work with passion and the only objective to help empower people to improve health and wellness. No way we can please everyone or change everything. Thanks for all those who support and appreciate our work and benefited from it. Thanks for those who understand and appreciate how much work and expense we put in compare to vast majority of dvds, and that there is no perfection for every viewer. May I suggest coming to my workshop then you would just have my voice and no announcer.
I am 74 years old and am in recovery from left toe surgery. I thank you for your video to help me with my balance issues. I have registered for a class that uses your methods that begins Jan 7th and meets every Tue and Thurs for the month of January. It was recommended that I use your dvd for beginners daily to help with this instructions. My biggest problem already is just slowing down and then the lack of strength in my ankles. I will advise you of my progress.
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to you for creating and sharing these videos for free.... I will absolutely buy them at some point, as they are the best instructions on Tai Chi I have ever seen. Your energy is so calm and comforting, and I just had to say thank you for being so kind and generous. I’m sure these videos help a LOT of people.
I'm 35 years old, I had a Stroke 2 months ago. My balance is not good yet. This classes are wonderful. I'm doing this to recover my balance. Thank you so much. You are amazing!!!
Thank you very much, I love that you do the exercises so slow that in my condition is way better because all my attention is on balancing and moving super slow. Hope to meet you too!!

"It's better to learn fewer movements well, than rushing through many movements". Exactly how I feel about yoga! I'm excited to learn and incorporate Tai chi into my exercise regime. It's a recommended exercise for my blood type, according to Dr. D'Adamo's book, Eat Right 4 Your Type. I have 18 years of ballet and ballroom dancing, and love yoga, so I'm excited to learn this art of movement! Thank you for putting this for free on UA-cam!! Your passion for it must be immense to make it available in this way, and I thank you for being a bringer of light into this dark world!
He has such a benevolent and genuine expression. He inspires trust right away. Thank you Dr. Paul, Students and everyone else that contributed to the production.
Glad you love our work of passion, we tried very hard to meet everyone's preference. Having reaches well over 15 million people, we found it much more practical to make our work user friendly and instructional clear and step wise. But we are always working on making our work better. Will keep your comments in mind. In fact at the latest advanced series there are only myself teaching but the introduction does have more people - good to see happy tai chi people around the world!
Your voice alone is so soothing, why dont we all speak like this, im sure the world would be so much better! But im still going to start Tai Chi as well and im going to use this video.
i am so grateful for this video being available - i was bedridden 3 years ago; and this got my up, i got my balance back - and eventually - this past year i was able to get a used bicycle and ride every day for an hour. I hadn't been able to do that in 16 years because of loss of balance in my inner ear - but doing the exercises - helped me get this back. Now - this winter I am doing this again. because i just put my bike in the basement because we are all ice and snow now; - but i'm getting back and headaches from lack of exercise - I just had my 57 birthday - i do not feel 57 in my mind -- -but my body has been though a lot. It is good to help my body. Thank you so much
Dr. Lam, this is day two of your beginner's course for me. This will help me so much with anxiety issues from deaths including my husband and mother. It will teach me calmness, the calmness of Heaven! I have always wanted to learn Tai Chi. Thank you so much for these free courses!!! The benefits will be with me throughout my life. God Bless You brother!!! Kelly in Colorado. USA.
You are a sweet person Dr. Lam - i'm so happy i found your videos - I have health problems that the doctors are ignoring - well; actually there is one doctor who is helping me - and he is SO OVERWORKED! I have a very odd type of vertigo, and also a head injury, spinal injury and whiplash and concussion syndrome - no one is helping me with this - and I used to be a very active person; was a dancer and would walk and sing all night - I was also a musician and performer - I slowly became house bound and bedridden because doctors would not treat me and i refuse to take narcotic medicines. My friend suggested I try Tai Chi - because i am unable to leave my house -and i don't think anyone teaches it in my town - I looked up and found your videos. I have been doing the exercises and the breathing (which is very much the same as what i was taught for yoga and Reiki) - and now - I am able to lay down flat and sleep -which i haven't been able to do for 5 months; and I go out in my garden and do the exercises and then some gardening - I love this- I am an anxious person -so this is also good for me because it is calming. My pain specialst doctor who is wonderful and does acupuncture for me thinks that the Tai Chi is a perfect thing for me to be doing for my condition. I hope that i will be able to buy a good full DVD of yours once i get the small basic moves learned and I would like to learn more! Blessings to you! Eriana.
Eri, how are you now? Have you found benefit from the practice? I ask because I have a TBI as a result of an accident, vertigo, I broke a total of 19 bones, from the hip to neck - on my left side only. It has been 7 years and it sounds like we are both seeking peace and serenity. I will begin with these lessons now. Bright blessings.
I became a huge fan of Dr.Paul Lam. I am from Kerala, India, and I am a handicapped woman of 50 yrs.I have heard about Tai chi in my school days. But first time iam doing this excercise watching your video. The way you are giving confidence is very much helping me. I am very grateful to you Dr.Lam. You are helping mankind with your amazing knowledge. Iam bowing my head before you.Thank you. sir. Every day I am doing this Tai chi for beginners excercise with my yoga .
I have already introduced my girlfriend to this video as she also suffers from back pain and I'm sure she will get just as much from this as I did. As we speak my shoulder pain is almost non existent and my neck and back pain has improved considerably. Again a huge thank you!
I am 73 my balance has been diminishing . I have looked at other videos but feel a connection with Dr Lam. I look forward finding a side of my self pbysically, mentally and emotionally that I have searched for but not found before.
I JUST STARTED TO WATCH NOW AND I AM ALREADY IN LOVE WITH THE TAI CHI... WITH THIS COVID 19 , I THINK TAI CHI WILL HELP ME TO NOT LOSE MY BALANCE(MENTAL AND PSIHICAL)..THANK YOU DR LAM
Hello Dr Lam I would like to thank you for doing this video. I have Parkinsonism and it has become very difficult for me to do my favorite yoga. But this is so simple, not tiring at all, and you do not have to lie down on any mat (when it is almost impossible to get up on your own). Also I feel it has given me more energy, even though I started only about a week ago. Mariam
I have been practicing yoga all of my life and now I am over 60 and just starting tai chi for the same reason. My shoulders are beginning to bother me and I miss my downward and upward dog's but my shoulders are not as forgiving as they used to be so tai chi was the perfect progression for me. Looking forward to Dr Lams lessons.
How refreshing and delightful this video is. I cringed at the length of your video and found myself prepared to skim through it ... but ... I found myself mesmerized by your gentle voice and smooth movements that before I knew it I had followed every move all the way through without stopping and wanted more! I can't wait to see the next lesson!
Thank you Dr. Lam for spreading your ancient healing wisdom. Im a 35 year old woman recovering from a spinal fracture, and this has really helped me regain mobility. Much gratitude🙏🏻
Tai chi it’s so good for people with panic attack and anxiety like me 😢😢 I’m practice at the public parks and the people looking at my like I’m crazy 😝
This appears to be the help I've been looking for. I live in a senior community and several have expressed interest in an exercise program. I thought tai chi would help us all with balance, and mindfulness as well as being more in tune with our bodies. Thank you for making this iTunes video as we are all on low fixed income. We are always looking for activities that help us be more healthy and well socialized.
How lovely. Just had surgery 7 weeks ago...much appreciated lesson for beginner's. I could do this to get back to normal and better than before. A gift!
What a pleasure it is to have found your introductory video. Your calm voice and demeanor inspire me to put Tai Chi back in my life after many years. Thank you!!
Well Paul Lam, I have been viewing, teaching of Tai Chi. It has help my life and to conserve my energies. I am athetic, so I do know the slow motions and the breathing of mind and body connection.
I have been wanting to learn & practice Tai-chi for a long time and now I have made a beginning with your videos! Bless me, my teacher in my journey of learning :-)
hi dr lam. I had spinal surgery. a broken neck bone 2 smashed discs and a squashed spinal chord. I was told after my operation I might not walk again. my determination has lead me to walk and not give in. I came across your tai chi for arthritis and started doing it. it has helped me in ways I never imagined. I have osteoporosis. now I am buying your DVD. your a great teacher. I am excited to start my next journey with you as my teacher. thank you. I think you are a great man. love the way you have helped me gain energy and control my pain. love ya.
Dr. Paul, I am taking a Tai Chi class in my town, and our instructor recommended your videos if we wanted extra practice. I am just starting Tai Chi, and I love it. Thank you so much for your videos! Have a lovely day.
Thanks Conchitina Before I retired as family physician my medical partner Dr Cue came from Philippine... I really enjoy my visit there, and enjoy the friends I met. I am glad my work is useful to you and I do hope to visit your wonderful country again.
Sir, thank you for your videos. My mother had always wanted to learn Tai Chi. In her last days she was confined to a wheelchair after diabetic amputation, but she could move her arms and upper legs. Not too long after practicing Tai Chi she was declared nondiabetic (she had had it since the mid 80s) and able to come off insulin forever. Unfortunately the damage to her body had been done and she passed shortly thereafter. I believe many assisted living and nursing home residents could benefit from Tai Chi here in the US. I will recommend you to them.
i love the way you teach slowly. seems everyone else goes too fast. i also love that you turn to the wall so one can follow from behind. i first saw your video years ago and was doing it every day. i am starting up again. thank you!
Paul thank you for your reply, his accent is not the problem it's just too loud and brash. Compared to your own wonderfully peaceful and clear voice it's like being woken up by a trumpet in the middle of a peaceful meditation. If you make any future videos, please know that your voice is one of the best of any Teacher that I have heard.
Dr Paul I’m very pleased to see you program for beginners ,it is beginning to help me, may I know whether can help a 90 year old man suffering With Parkinson’s . As presently my legs are beginning to make me very unsteady on my feet. Perhaps you may know of something I can do. Because of my condition I also experience anxiety. In spite of these handicaps I still am not giving up.Fazal A Karim
Thanks Ungetable7, yes she is beautiful and a wonderful daughter. I am so happy that my daughter enjoys tai chi and participated in our work. Her husband and her friends composed and produced that Tai Chi Music CD Volume 2, they are world class musicians. Many of my participants attended and enjoyed her concerts.
Hello Arun, me too abhor violence. tai chi is about moving internal energy and reaching harmony with others and the world. to remember the movements follow my dvd, repeat lessons and follow my instruction, place regularly.
thank you, Dr. Lam, for sharing your work. The Universe connected me to a local & low cost class when i sent out the intention..."NO...i do not accept this stiffness & pain for the rest of my life. Give me a way out!" & lo....so...to practice learning as well as practice.....your video came up as a great offering
I'm a 51 yr old woman who , in your beginners video , felt invigorated and strength. I loved the ability to stretch my body and in places that I was aching for several months . I felt like the more I do this on my daily routine then if I feel this great after trying this one time , I am excited that Tai chi taught by you for me was miraculous and I thank my God he led me to you through Google too! All I wanted to know is "What is osteoarthritis in the knee info?" And it led me to you and your lessons for a beginner and this is for me ! Thank you for caring so much about human life Dr. You are a wonderful inspiration of hope to me mindfully and physically! It's not going to be so hard because you showed me within myself the one time I did this to believe in myself and to better my health! May God bless you always! Brittifulone
I've been researching over the past few days where to start with Tai Chi. What recently prompted my interest was after watching an infomercial about it via Dr. Chenge (Tai Chenge) but I thought, why not just learn more about Tai Chi before purchasing. I searched and discovered your intro video to Tai Chi and now I'm really interested and want to know more about what you have to offer, thanks for sharing, I'm excited!!
I am an ex-professional dancer - Ballet and Broadway/ Jazz. With major osteoarthritis in my back and having already had two hip replacements, my recent prognosis is life in a wheelchair in 5-10 years.... at not quite 60 years old, I do not really look forward to old age. Yet, your program gives me hope. I've looked at other T'ai Chi videos and classes but nothing seems to take the time to explain the process the way you do. I've ordered both the beginners DVD and the T'ai chi for Arthritis after following you here and walking through the beginning program. Thank you so much. I have hope!
This is nice. Thank you. I just recently started yoga and enjoy that as well. I've only been to the chi gong once... Because I work night shift it's hard to do in morning after work. But thanks to yoga and these videos I think I'll really practice this more. Taichi is easy and relaxing. Thank you very much.
Dr, Lam, this has changed my flexibility, and many other things. I also do Bon and Buddhist practices, and with these two energies at work in my life, I enjoy life, I love the woman I am becoming,
Thank so much for providing these free lessons for beginners. I have been suffering from arthritis many years now and I hope that i can find relief and if possible, healing, by follwing these exercises. I am grateful...
Tai Chi for Beginners will help, pending on your condition and doctor's advice, I would think Tai Chi for Arthritis might suit you better because it is little more gentle and has Sun's style's unique qigong (to generate internal energy), many people with Parkinson have found both helpful.
Someone talked about the benefits of Tai Chi, so I checked it up online and found these lessons. I've attempted a short self practice and plan to go all the way. Thank you Dr Paul Lam.
Appreciate your time code on the segments, if you subscribe the program, every segment is separated with timing. You can navigate to any part that suits you.
I have pretty bad health and that keeps me from working out even when I want to. This I can do even when I’m not feeling so good. Thank you for that ❤️ /A greatful person from Sweden
Hello Dr Paul, l love watching your videos on Thai Chi for beginners. My daily routine exercises are walking, yoga , meditation. I have been following your video and doing warm up exercises and first lesson for a week. My knee pain is gone n I am going to move on to next level. I feel energetic the whole day. You teach very well Sir , it's easy to follow. You are a great master. Thank you. Namaste. Om shanti.
I love this l have been very ill and am having physical therapy but l find these move pretty simple although l dont have a lot of movement in my right leg lm hoping if l follow this program to the letter l do believe it will improve my health and well being greatly thank you 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent lessons and high quality videos. Very intuitive explanations and exercises. I just want to express my appreciation and to thank you very much for these wonderful videos Dr. Lam :)
Nice to hear from you Smarter Impact: my vision is to reach as many people as possible, and glad to know we have nearly 10 millions views. There must be an awareness of how much the world can benefit from tai chi!
Thank you for doing this video. I just took a first preview class for Tai Chi yesterday at my gym, and wanted to learn more. I really appreciated how you broke down the basic steps. I will start my classes next week and look forward to this practice.
Thanks Valeria, I follow this format thorough all my instructions: I show the entire movement, then explain first part while facing you, then I turn around for you to follow me at least three times, and I explain facing you for part 2, then turn around to do the movement from the beginning. We consider and tried split image it is not as clear. Please try to take time and follow me and I am sure our try and proven format is the easiest to learn tai chi. Let me know how you go.
I am 72 yrs old and have osteoarthritis . Have had many back and knees damage . Have tried many conventional western medicine working for me. I will starting in December with acupuncture treatments and want to help make it successful is why I am going to be starting your program to get the best possible outcome. Your voice is very conferring and I fell I can be successful following your program on UA-cam. Thank You
I like that:"it is not competitive" sport like, therefore is for everybody. Thank you doctor for teaching this humble sport that respect and glorify the nature and human.
You are more than welcome. The Tai Chi for Health Institute is producing a documentary about anyone can learn tai chi, will be available soon. I will try to publish it here at UA-cam.
I am happy you brought it so I can do it at home thank you i used to go and do it in some class then I stopped I will follow you now I so please Dr Lam

I am 73 my balance has been diminishing . I have looked at other videos but feel a connection with Dr Lam. I look forward finding a side of my self pbysically, mentally and emotionally that I have searched for but not found before.
I am thankful to Dr. Paul Lam for his excellent presentation & practical Demonstration .
Thanks Stan your comment is helpful to viewers. I am glad you enjoy tai chi and have a good teacher. Enjoy the journey.
I JUST STARTED TO WATCH NOW AND I AM ALREADY IN LOVE WITH THE TAI CHI...
WITH THIS COVID 19 , I THINK TAI CHI WILL HELP ME TO NOT LOSE MY BALANCE(MENTAL AND PSIHICAL)..THANK YOU DR LAM
Hello Dr Lam
I would like to thank you for doing this video.
I have Parkinsonism and it has become very difficult for me to do my favorite yoga.
But this is so simple, not tiring at all, and you do not have to lie down on any mat (when it is almost impossible to get up on your own). Also I feel it has given me more energy, even though I started only about a week ago.

I have been practicing yoga all of my life and now I am over 60 and just starting tai chi for the same reason. My shoulders are beginning to bother me and I miss my downward and upward dog's but my shoulders are not as forgiving as they used to be so tai chi was the perfect progression for me. Looking forward to Dr Lams lessons.
didn't think of that

You seem like a nice man, good on you for aiding the elderly and such in maintaining health
Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with the world. Just reading the comments warms my heart. Sending love and light from California. ❤
How refreshing and delightful this video is. I cringed at the length of your video and found myself prepared to skim through it ... but ... I found myself mesmerized by your gentle voice and smooth movements that before I knew it I had followed every move all the way through without stopping and wanted more! I can't wait to see the next lesson!
Thank you so much.

I just came across this video a few days ago and I already feel better! Thank you Dr. Paul Lam, I needed this in my life.
Excellent man to learn from. All my classes went too fast.Dr Lam's gentle spirit really helps you relax and stay open for the teaching.Love it!!
Thanks Afzal: lots of work by many of my passionate colleagues, we love to share tai chi for health.
Dr. Lam, You have wonderful energy!
Tai chi it’s so good for people with panic attack and anxiety like me 😢😢 I’m practice at the public parks and the people looking at my like I’m crazy 😝
Saw this video’ you now have a fan from India. Thank you sir. You are a blessing to mankind.
This appears to be the help I've been looking for. I live in a senior community and several have expressed interest in an exercise program. I thought tai chi would help us all with balance, and mindfulness as well as being more in tune with our bodies. Thank you for making this iTunes video as we are all on low fixed income. We are always looking for activities that help us be more healthy and well socialized.
How lovely. Just had surgery 7 weeks ago...much appreciated lesson for beginner's. I could do this to get back to normal and better than before. A gift!
Thank you Dr. Lam for sharing your extensive knowledge with the world ... Blessings
What a pleasure it is to have found your introductory video. Your calm voice and demeanor inspire me to put Tai Chi back in my life after many years. Thank you!!
i do this during my lunch break in the gym for 20 minutes.
it works wonders.
Well Paul Lam, I have been viewing, teaching of Tai Chi. It has help my life and to conserve my energies. I am athetic, so I do know the slow motions and the breathing of mind and body connection.
I have been wanting to learn & practice Tai-chi for a long time and now I have made a beginning with your videos! Bless me, my teacher in my journey of learning :-)
hi dr lam. I had spinal surgery. a broken neck bone 2 smashed discs and a squashed spinal chord. I was told after my operation I might not walk again. my determination has lead me to walk and not give in. I came across your tai chi for arthritis and started doing it. it has helped me in ways I never imagined. I have osteoporosis. now I am buying your DVD. your a great teacher. I am excited to start my next journey with you as my teacher. thank you. I think you are a great man. love the way you have helped me gain energy and control my pain. love ya.
Dr. Paul, I am taking a Tai Chi class in my town, and our instructor recommended your videos if we wanted extra practice. I am just starting Tai Chi, and I love it. Thank you so much for your videos! Have a lovely day.
Thank you, Dr Paul Lam, for the opportunity to learn TAI CHI, Blessings.
Thanks for this post! Grateful for UA-cam!
Thanks Conchitina
Before I retired as family physician my medical partner Dr Cue came from Philippine... I really enjoy my visit there, and enjoy the friends I met. I am glad my work is useful to you and I do hope to visit your wonderful country again.
Sir, thank you for your videos. My mother had always wanted to learn Tai Chi. In her last days she was confined to a wheelchair after diabetic amputation, but she could move her arms and upper legs. Not too long after practicing Tai Chi she was declared nondiabetic (she had had it since the mid 80s) and able to come off insulin forever. Unfortunately the damage to her body had been done and she passed shortly thereafter.
I believe many assisted living and nursing home residents could benefit from Tai Chi here in the US. I will recommend you to them.
oh i'm sorry God bless her 🙏
i love the way you teach slowly. seems everyone else goes too fast. i also love that you turn to the wall so one can follow from behind. i first saw your video years ago and was doing it every day. i am starting up again. thank you!
Thank you Dr. Lam for all your fantastic videos. They have helped me & my friends a lot.
Many Blessings.....
This helps me with Parkinsons DIease, Helps me with stress, balance,breathing, and one of few exerciese that I can do. Had an Asian man as my doctor
Paul thank you for your reply, his accent is not the problem it's just too loud and brash. Compared to your own wonderfully peaceful and clear voice it's like being woken up by a trumpet in the middle of a peaceful meditation. If you make any future videos, please know that your voice is one of the best of any Teacher that I have heard.
Dr Paul I’m very pleased to see you program for beginners ,it is beginning to help me, may I know whether can help a 90 year old man suffering
With Parkinson’s . As presently my legs are beginning to make me very unsteady on my feet. Perhaps you may know of something I can do.
Because of my condition I also experience anxiety. In spite of these handicaps I still am not giving up.Fazal A Karim
Thank you .
This is Power Healing 🙌🙏❤️
God Bless 🙏
Great Exercises practice weightlifting without weights and pushups! You'll be fabulous! Wonderful! In no time if done EVERY day..Go for it Team!
Thanks Ungetable7, yes she is beautiful and a wonderful daughter. I am so happy that my daughter enjoys tai chi and participated in our work. Her husband and her friends composed and produced that Tai Chi Music CD Volume 2, they are world class musicians. Many of my participants attended and enjoyed her concerts.
Hello Arun, me too abhor violence. tai chi is about moving internal energy and reaching harmony with others and the world. to remember the movements follow my dvd, repeat lessons and follow my instruction, place regularly.
Thank you Dr Lam I wish you further health.
thank you, Dr. Lam, for sharing your work. The Universe connected me to a local & low cost class when i sent out the intention..."NO...i do not accept this stiffness & pain for the rest of my life. Give me a way out!" & lo....so...to practice learning as well as practice.....your video came up as a great offering
I hope you have been healing. :)

@@gilbeeson3805 I do not comprehend the meaning of this reply in reference to my gratitude for this video series.
@@serenakiril Thank you.
I'm a 51 yr old woman who , in your beginners video , felt invigorated and strength. I loved the ability to stretch my body and in places that I was aching for several months . I felt like the more I do this on my daily routine then if I feel this great after trying this one time , I am excited that Tai chi taught by you for me was miraculous and I thank my God he led me to you through Google too! All I wanted to know is "What is osteoarthritis in the knee info?" And it led me to you and your lessons for a beginner and this is for me ! Thank you for caring so much about human life Dr. You are a wonderful inspiration of hope to me mindfully and physically! It's not going to be so hard because you showed me within myself the one time I did this to believe in myself and to better my health! May God bless you always! Brittifulone
I've been researching over the past few days where to start with Tai Chi. What recently prompted my interest was after watching an infomercial about it via Dr. Chenge (Tai Chenge) but I thought, why not just learn more about Tai Chi before purchasing. I searched and discovered your intro video to Tai Chi and now I'm really interested and want to know more about what you have to offer, thanks for sharing, I'm excited!!
I am an ex-professional dancer - Ballet and Broadway/ Jazz. With major osteoarthritis in my back and having already had two hip replacements, my recent prognosis is life in a wheelchair in 5-10 years.... at not quite 60 years old, I do not really look forward to old age. Yet, your program gives me hope. I've looked at other T'ai Chi videos and classes but nothing seems to take the time to explain the process the way you do. I've ordered both the beginners DVD and the T'ai chi for Arthritis after following you here and walking through the beginning program. Thank you so much. I have hope!
Tai chi is something to burn calories and its energy that flows in your body and it makes you realxed. Nama stae.
Thank you Dr. Paul Lam.
This has changed my life.
This is nice. Thank you. I just recently started yoga and enjoy that as well. I've only been to the chi gong once... Because I work night shift it's hard to do in morning after work. But thanks to yoga and these videos I think I'll really practice this more. Taichi is easy and relaxing. Thank you very much.
I am fascinated with Tai Chi. Thanks Dr Lam for the valuable teachings.
i've had all these classes years ago...went well...needed a refresher course..Thank you..
Thank you, Dr. Lam, for providing us with this wonderful tai chi video.
Dr, Lam, this has changed my flexibility, and many other things. I also do Bon and Buddhist practices, and with these two energies at work in my life, I enjoy life, I love the woman I am becoming,
Margaret Bjornson , how effective has it been? How are you doing?
Thank so much for providing these free lessons for beginners. I have been suffering from arthritis many years now and I hope that i can find relief and if possible, healing, by follwing these exercises. I am grateful...
Tai Chi for Beginners will help, pending on your condition and doctor's advice, I would think Tai Chi for Arthritis might suit you better because it is little more gentle and has Sun's style's unique qigong (to generate internal energy), many people with Parkinson have found both helpful.

A dream come true. Thank you, Dr. Paul. Thank you very much.
You are an inspiration my good sir. May you be blessed
Someone talked about the benefits of Tai Chi, so I checked it up online and found these lessons. I've attempted a short self practice and plan to go all the way. Thank you Dr Paul Lam.
Appreciate your time code on the segments, if you subscribe the program, every segment is separated with timing. You can navigate to any part that suits you.
I have pretty bad health and that keeps me from working out even when I want to. This I can do even when I’m not feeling so good. Thank you for that ❤️
/A greatful person from Sweden

Excellent lessons and high quality videos. Very intuitive explanations and exercises. I just want to express my appreciation and to thank you very much for these wonderful videos Dr. Lam :)
I used to do this in Chinatown before the Loma prieta earthquake!! I was rocking in the Free world!
Thank you for sharing your Tai Chi with us.
Nice to hear from you Smarter Impact: my vision is to reach as many people as possible, and glad to know we have nearly 10 millions views. There must be an awareness of how much the world can benefit from tai chi!
Thank you for doing this video. I just took a first preview class for Tai Chi yesterday at my gym, and wanted to learn more. I really appreciated how you broke down the basic steps. I will start my classes next week and look forward to this practice.
Thanks for sharing! Have an awesome day!
Thanks Valeria, I follow this format thorough all my instructions: I show the entire movement, then explain first part while facing you, then I turn around for you to follow me at least three times, and I explain facing you for part 2, then turn around to do the movement from the beginning. We consider and tried split image it is not as clear. Please try to take time and follow me and I am sure our try and proven format is the easiest to learn tai chi. Let me know how you go.

I really like how you show the movement from front and back at the same time and that you go over each movement a few times.
Thanks, I love teaching! Made great effort to find the most effective way to teach.
