Tai Chi - The 24 Forms

The ancient practice of tai chi is clinically proven to be one of the most effective exercises to improve health, fitness and relaxation. The 24 Forms is the most widely practiced tai chi form. While there are many variations, the form you will learn by working with this DVD is the one of the most authentic.

Following an introduction to tai chi and its benefits, Dr Lam teaches unique qigong exercises and foundational movements which will enhance your energy and make easier learning. He teaches the 24 forms from different angles — using close ups, repetitions and diagramed illustrations while dividing each form into small sections allowing you to follow along with ease. Throughout the lessons, Dr Lam will explain the tai chi principles and how to use them to improve your tai chi.

Best Instruction on Tai Chi

Posted by Robert Panarese on 17th May 2023

After completing TCA 1 and 2 my interest in Tai Chi was increased and wanted to learn even more. Dr. Lam’s method of instruction is easy to follow and his messages between lessons are inspiring. I have started the 24 forms and have this exceptional. The QIGONG at the beginning and fundamental movements are making learning easy but still challenging enough to keep me coming back for more. Thank you Dr. Lam.
very easy to follow

Dr Lam does an excellent job at teaching this form. I do not live near classes. I am not rushing but taking my time learning each move. I'm very pleased with this DVD
Looking for a certified Instructor in my Area

I purchased Tai Chi the 24 forms last year and is very happy to be able to practice at any time. Dr. Lam’s instructions are very easy to follow and enjoy the warmup every day – it helps me with my balance and maintains my posture. I've been attempting to find a good Tai Chi instructor in the Houston Texas area. Please help me find a good Tai Chi instructor in my area. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Tai Chi the 24 forms

Posted by Van on 24th Dec 2022

I purchased Tai Chi the 24 forms years ago and I am very happy to be able to practice any time I want. Dr. Lam’s instructions are very easy to follow. I have osteoporosis in my spine and enjoy the warmup every day – it helps me with my balance and maintains my posture. I recently purchased a 2nd DVD for my sister who lives in a small town and wished to have a good Tai Chi instructor. All the lessons in this Tai Chi 24 forms are well taught and helpful to all of us. Thank you, Dr. Lam, to be such a super Tai Chi instructor.
Very Detailed Instructions

Relearning Yang

Posted by Gisele Lalonde on 16th Mar 2022

I practiced Yang for many years, followed by 10 years not practicing. Dr. Lam’s videos are great for practicing at home. The accompanying book is even better- I’ve learned so much more about the principals and traditions!
Excellent teaching

Dr Lam makes learning easy

Posted by Monica Boha on 8th Apr 2021

I have not yet received the product but I see that I can stream it through your website, something I didn't know. I will do that until my DVD's arrive. The place I do my practice has access to a TV with a DVD but there is no computer there so I am glad DVD's are available. I guess I use the living room until they arrive. I look forward to the classes. I really liked the first one I purchased on Tai Chi for Arthritis. I had tried a DVD once before but the presenter went through it so fast I couldn't not keep up. Dr. Lam is excellent in how he presents the moves. Thank you.
