Outstanding Experience

Dr. Lam's Tai Chi for Arthritis is an excellent course for learning fundamentals of Tai Chi and how the movements can lead to improved mobility, balance, and health. The approach is divided into short segments with excellent demonstrations including the right amount of repetition to provide highly effective training. Dr. Lam explains the benefits that can be achieved from the various steps which then become apparent with regular practice. I have thoroughly enjoyed this DVD and have experienced improved balance and mobility from my initial use of the course.
Superb learning aid

You can't learn Tai Chi without a LOT of practice. But if you just go to a class once or twice a week, it is very difficult to recall the exact movements and order of movements if you want to practice at home between classes.

This DVD is a tremendous help. First , all courses of "Tai Chi for Arthritis" teach the same movements in the same order--there is no problem of what is on the DVD not matching what you are doing in class. Second, Dr. Lam is a good teacher. For example, movements are broken down into segments that are individually mastered before putting the pieces together; he shows the movement from several perspectives (front, back, side); he doesn't just say "practice this" and move on to the next item, leaving you to cope with the "practice" on your own. Rather, he leads each of the practice movements. He regularly reviews and practices earlier movements to increase student retention. Third, Dr. Lam is wonderful to watch--smooth and rhythmic and graceful-- and delightful to learn from--calm and encouraging.

I found Tai Chi interesting when I first started classes, but after getting the DVD, I really enjoyed it and began to benefit from it in terms of improving my balance which had been deteriorating from Parkinson's.

I need this at home to help me do my homework correctly. It is very helpful since there are a lot of repetitions thus ensuring one gets it right.

The DVD is a very useful tool for teachers of the program and is also useful for students to help them review after they have been attending a TCA program or set of classes
