For Novices and Elderly
The following are the three beginner videos we recomend for Tai
Chi beginners. Each one feeds into the next in progression:
1. EasyTaichi
- This is the video I most recommend to beginners, seniors and
people with health issues. The most important factors for novices
learning from a video are that (a) the video be user friendly,
and (b) that the form it teaches be both easy and convenient to
practice in a small space. The Easy Tai Chi video was designed
with these two criteria specifically in mind. Once you have mastered
the EasyTaiChi video I recommend that you graduate to Dr. Lam's
videos.
2. Tai
Chi - 6 Forms, 6 Easy Lessons - by Dr. Paul Lam. More advanced
than Easy Tai Chi, it breaks down 6 fundamental forms from the
Yang 24 routine into 6 lessons, with detailed explanation and
repetition. The moves are presented in front and back angles,
Dr. Lam commenting on the form. They are repeated several times
and are relatively easy to follow for a beginner. Includes a 3-in-1
Qi Gong workout. Video
DVD
3. Once you have mastered the EasyTaiChi video and Lam's
6 Forms, 6 Easy Lessons, I recommend that you graduate
to Dr. Lam's T'ai
Chi: The 24 Forms (which comes in both Video
and DVD)
The Yang 24 is the most popular version of Tai Chi in the
world. More
