Tai Chi for Arthritis (TCA)-12 lessons with Dr Lam - recommended by CDC (Scroll down to see the free first lesson)
In 1996, Dr Lam with a team of medical and tai chi experts created this safe and easy to learn program. Medical studies confirm Tai Chi for Arthritis relieves pain, reduces falls and improves quality of life, that is why the Arthritis organisations around the world advocate this program and the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (www.CDC.gov) recommends it for fall prevention.
What is special about this DVD is that you will feel as though you are participating in Dr Lam’s class. After a brief introduction of what Tai Chi for Arthritis is and how this DVD can benefit you, Dr Lam will teach you with step-by-step instructions, lead you to practice and explain the reason behind every move. At the conclusion of the DVD Dr Lam will demonstrate the set from both front and back views. The unique music was composed with the rhythm and energy especially for this program!
It presents the entire program including warm up and cool down in a user friendly format. Dr Lam incorporates the tai chi principles to enhance your understanding and enjoyment.

TCA
I had to replace my TCA DVD, as I gave my copy to a senior group to follow. Dr Lam’s instructional videos are brilliant!

Superb Learning DVD for my Beginner class
I find this DVD very instructive. I have been a certified Instructor with the Tai Chi for Health Institute for going on seven years. I encourage my beginner students to purchase this DVD so they can watch and practice at home. Since my beginner classes are on Wednesday and Friday mornings, when they leave my class on Friday, it is five days before they are back in class. I have found that even if my students don't perform the form with the DVD, watching the demonstration and listening to Dr Lam helps tremendously. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who wants to learn the 12 forms.

Great for Beginners
[Tai Chi for Arthritis] Dr. Lam's presentation is thorough and easy to understand. The forms are shown from back and front, and even sideways at times. I find these to be helpful even though I am taking a live course. Being able to see the forms from all angles allows me to correct my stance, movements, etc.

Excellent way to learn and improve
I purchased this to prepare for the instructor workshop. I had been taking classes and wanted to be available to help when the instructor had to be gone. Very easy to follow. Dr. Lam explains everything so clearly and demonstrates the moves so that he can be easily followed. The more time I spend with this DVD, the more I want to expand my Tai Chi knowledge.

excellent Tai Chi DVD
Easy to understand and follow. Makes me feel good and my husband likes it too, and he's never done a home exercise program before. Yoga seems difficult for me lately, and not safe in many poses for osteoporosis. Tai Chi seems very safe. I like being able to play the DVD whenever the timing suits me, versus a zoom format at specific times.

An excellent DVD for starting Tai Chi
Dr. Lam does an excellent job of explaining the movements and demonstrates them enough to help you achieve them yourself.

Doctor & Sifu
It is rare and unique to find a Sifu/teacher who is also a Medical Doctor. I have studied and practiced other martial arts. I was young and flexible. As I grew older wear and tear took its toll on my body because of the injuries I suffered as a result of my practice of martial arts. I discovered Tai Chi. I started studying Yang style. My knees bothered me. Then I happen to view Dr. Lam's videos on YouTube. What he explained, taught and demonstrated compelled me to purchase his DVDs and inspire me to seriously become a certified instructor. I am 68 years old and I have desire to share what I have discovered with studying Dr. Paul Lam's teaching style, program and advice in living.
