In 1996, Dr Lam with a team of medical and tai chi experts created this safe and easy to learn program.

Great Tai Chi Lessons
Dr Lam does a great job explaining and demonstrating lessons in this DVD.Lessons are easy to follow and go at a pace slow enough for learning forms properly. I have OA of the knee and have found the suggestions DR Lam makes to be of great benefit.Would highly recommend this course.

Good for Mom... and son
This purchase was a gift for my grown son who is suffering with back issues resulting from a medical procedure. I was already familiar with the forms on the DVD as I had previously purchased it for myself to complement a Tai Chi for Arthritis class and followed that with the purchase of Tai Chi for Arthritis 2 as I progressed to the next level. It was because I knew how well done the DVD is that I trusted it for my son's situation as well. For students enrolled in a related class, this is a valuable tool to help practice and grasp concepts between classes, as details of each movement are clarified.

Just What I Needed
I had a hip replaced a year ago due to osteoarthritis. I wanted something to help strengthen that leg/side without putting stress on my joints. I started a class in Jan. and this video was suggested to help practice at home. It has been very beneficial. I try to attend class twice a week and practice at home (with the video) on the other days. I am already seeing improvement! So glad I started tai chi.

Beneficial workout for arthritis and more
Dr Lam does a good job taking you through the steps of Tai Chi in a slow and clear manner. It is slow but is meant to be. Great if you are ready to get moving and learn a healthful exercise.

Balance and Weight Transfer Improvement
I really appreciate the program presentation. Just the right speed and repetitive delivery. The content has been extremely valuable as I really didn't realize how poor my balance and weight transfer were. I have worked through lessons 1-6 and am feeling improvement physically and emotionally. Thank you for making this so easy to achieve results!

Florida Visitors take Dr. Lam's Tai Chi for Arthritis home with them
Snowbird Students in my Tai Chi for Arthritis class are happy to take the Tai Chi for Arthritis DVD home with them so they can continue to practice and improve. Dr. Lam adds a depth of understanding that is difficult to achieve in my very large classes.

I love this DVD
I live in chronic pain. I have tried yoga and other modalities to help my self remain mobile and functioning. I did the free lesson of this video several times and immediately enjoyed the easy and peaceful guidance and detailed instruction of Dr. Lam and ordered the full DVD set. I enjoy learning and even though I have not met Dr. Lam . I think we would be friends. I like his clear and precise teaching and calming spirit. I have had the dcd now for 2 weeks and have progressed to lesson #6. I feel better after doing the Tai Chi and feel very confident in my ability to learn the full series of lessons.. For any one in pain who just wants to keep moving, I highly recommend this DVD set.
