Now an important part of our day
The lessons are very clear. The step-by-step method is excellent. I originally had downloaded free lesson 1 to cover a gap in an in-person group class during vacation and soon found this to be much better than the classes. I bought the DVD and my husband is now doing it with me. We progress slowly but surely. The good part is that when you "don't get it" you can repeat as often as you want and you don't have to worry about "keeping up" with others or being awkward. We are now enthusiastically practicing every evening with Dr. Lam and it has become an indispensable part of our daily routine.

Review of Dr. Lam's Tai Chi DVD
My wife and I are in our 60's and were looking for something to strengthen our bodies, balance and overall well being. I studied Kung Fu San Soo almost 40 years ago related to the Jimmy Woo Assoc. in California. We used a form of Tai Chi in studying various moves for fighting multiple opponents. This has been a real treat for me to re-visit. My wife and I also enjoying Dr. Lams slow, precise easy to learn movements. Dr. Lams method of teaching different views of the movements as well as repetition of the moves makes this a much easier task in learning. We are currently viewing the beginners DVD, and I'm quite sure we will progress to further studies with Dr. Lam. Thank you Dr. Lam for this high quality teaching at a pace anyone can learn from!

so happy with our purchase
My husband and i recently retired after 40 years of farming. At our age after all those years of hard work, we realized the farm was too much. But when we relocated, we were determined to retire, not atrophy. By chance we came across Dr. Lam’s Tai Chi free lesson on you-tube and ordered the beginner’s dvd. We’re not ones to run out to the local Y to join a group class, so we thought we’d give it a go. We are absolutely enjoying our new exercises. We are having a ball working thru the exercises together. Dr. Lam’s instructional techniques are wonderful. We can’t recommend this product more highly than 5 stars or we would. Thanks Dr Lam and staff.

Best Instructor Ever!
Absolutely love this tape. Am moving rather slowly, but I am trying to do the moves correctly before moving onto the next lesson. I love how Dr. Lam repeats how to do the moves and does it from a front and back view. The video is well shot and the volume is perfect. I so enjoy learning the background of Tai Chi and what the moves represent. It makes for a deeper experience. So grateful to Dr. Lam for all his hard work.

I've been interested in finding out what Tai Chi was all about. This DVD seems to answer that question. I love the stretching , the go-at-your own pace format.

much needed help
I had seen a video some time ago showing Dr.Lam's beginner's Tai Chi. I thought it was interesting, but, I didn't have a need for it, or so I thought. After having treatment for congestive heart failure, I found myself weak and very unsteady on my feet. I decides to take another look at Dr.Lam;s video and decided to buy to buy Tai Chi for beginners. It has been a blessing. I am finding my balance again, and the stretching is beneficial to my whole body. I would recommend this video to anyone wishing to improve their overall well being.

Beginner Lessons
I'm 87 ,and after waiting for winter to pass , was shocked to find myself not able to do yard work as I have in the past. Too much rocking chair I guess and this old body isn't what it used to be.A half hour would wear me out. Practiced your lessons frequently for a month and half or so and now can put in three hours without requiring help to get back to the rocking chair. Now going to see what "Tai Chi for Energy" will do for me.
