Great Instruction
I finally get it. I want to learn Tai Chi but it seems so slow! But as I was watching this DVD to familiarize myself with it, I finally got it (at least part of it). The slow movements strengthen the muscles and body better than faster movements because it takes so much more muscle control to move slowly and intentionally. Dr Lam does an excellent job presenting the lessons and you do feel like you are in his class. His reminders to do what you can and stop if you need to are very reassuring. There is no high pressure "get better quick". It is slow, deliberate, consistent practice. He seems so kind and patient. I feel safe following this DVD. I love that each lesson has the warm up and cool down sections. I don't have to go flipping back and forth in the DVD to find them. There's no loud, irritating music - just soothing sounds. No flashy instructor trying to show off or draw attention to themselves - just a gentle man with a kind voice who truly seems more interested in helping you improve. Thank you, Dr Lam and team. Well done!

The DVD I ordered does not play through on my computer. It does play on an old DVD player I found.
It is exactly like the YouTube video of the first lesson.

Exceeds expectations
I'm really enjoying this DVD. I've wanted to learn Tai Chi for decades, but never found classes that were nearby, affordable, and that fit into my schedule. Dr. Lam's instructions are clear, the lessons are very well-structured, and his manner is extremely pleasant. I'm learning a great deal and can feel myself getting stronger and more flexible.
