Tai chi is an ancient form of meditative exercise enjoyed world-wide by millions of people, young and old, for good health and longevity. In the United States, tai chi has gained great popularity as an aid to good health. This popular exercise is recognized by its slow, graceful, movements that can be performed alone or with a partner.

_________________________________________

The 24 forms Tai Chi Chuan, based on the Yang style, was first developed in China in 1956. Since then, this has become the most popular set of Tai Chi forms practiced in the world today. This form is suitable for people of all levels and ages to learn the essential principles of Tai Chi along with its fluid-like movements, relaxation and awareness of the mind and body as one.

The forms in this video are shown in a step-by-step manner. After the initial instruction of each form is completed from a front view, a review of it is shown from the back, also with verbal instructions so you will be able to easily follow along with me.

To make it easy to learn, the 24 forms in this video have been broken down into four sections. Each section contains six forms. Instruction is provided for each form shown with at least two views, front and back.

At the end of each section, a demonstration of that section follows with verbal cues given from a back view. Verbal cues are given with the back view so you can practice along with me without having to watch the TV screen.

Once you feel comfortable having completed a section, you will be able to easily move on to a new section. After the conclusion of all sections, a final demonstration of the entire form is shown, also from the front and back. Again, verbal cues are provided with the back view so you will be able to follow along without having to watch the TV screen. You will find this most valuable!

Finally, please remember that with continuous practice, you will see health benefits!

TESTIMONIALS


Paul,
I am a dance instructor and artistic director for a dance company of children in NYC. I ordered your DVD, T'ai Chi: The 24 Forms Instructional and introduced it to my ballet and modern dance students ages 8 to 17. They are now incorporating the 24 forms into their own choreography, mixing T'ai Chi with many forms of contemporay dance. Thank you for this beautiful DVD and for helping to inspire my young dancers to fuse the graceful movements of T'ai Chi with their own creations. So far, my personal favorite is the work of a nine yr. old girl who has combined your instruction with West African Dance to create a dance for 16 children! Many Thanks!

Including your entire body in both the front and back views, along with the voice cues, makes all the difference! This was a flaw in one of the other videos I tried (Tai Chi for Beginners: The 24 Forms) - the feet, hands, and breathing were all shot separately making it impossible to coordinate movements! Also, your moves are slow enough for a beginner like me to follow without being overly meticulous - a flaw with the other video I tried (Tai Chi - The 24 Forms w Dr. Lam). I only wish I had bought your video first - I would not have wasted my money on the other two!
Have a great holiday weekend!

I am a massage therapist and I like to show clients movements they can do at home to help the results of their massages last longer and to keep them healthier. I'm sure I can find some good movements to pass on to clients from the DVDs. I haven't watched all of mine yet but I do like the presentation. I have several other videos and they do not explain the forms, movements, etc. as well as what I have seen on your presentation. Thank you for that!

I like your dvd because I really feel like I can do it, even when I watched it the first time. Part of that was due to the smaller studio quality of it, a people just like me, quality. I really like that. It tells me how much you want to help people with their health. Another part I like is the care you take in organizing the dvd and demonstrating. Your form is so focused and deliberate I can easily see what I am supposed to do. And the organization of the dvd lets me go to what parts I want to go to. I can see the final demo and then go to the warm up and begin my routine. I also like the music.
Thanks, Deborah

I'm a new student of Tai Chi. I'm a member of a gym where it is taught on Monday evening. I seem to have problems with my balance and footwork more than anything and I acquired several DVD's to assist me in quest for understanding. Your DVD is simple to understand and with the various views (front & side) I can follow along and see what you are trying to teach. There are a few steps our instructor isn't teaching and I'm finding them easy to see and understand as well (brush knee and step, single whip, etc..) If you have other DVD's that you think would be of assistance in my learning please let me know. I'd gladly bid on them or buy them. Again, I'm very happy with my purchase and the speed at which it was delivered. I won another bid the same day and I'm still waiting on delivery. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
Mike




Thank you for making such a concise instructional Tai Chi DVD. It is extremely easy to follow, and clearly presented. I appreciate the calm tone and demeanor, especially. It has already helped to reinforce those things I felt I was doing correctly, and fix those that felt wrong. Having the DVD may even help my husband to start practicing. Congratulations on a wonderful product.

Hi Paul,
A friend and I have been taking Tai Chi lessons from a Sifu here locally for about 5 weeks but have not been very happy with his teaching style. She discovered your 24-form simplified DVD on e-bay, bought it and shared it with me. She also said she emailed you, as I am doing. We are so very, very happy with your teaching style on this particular DVD - we have stopped attending our group lessons and are meeting once or twice a week to Tai Chi together and are practicing separately every day. Just goes to show you - don't irritate a group of middle-aged women when they are paying you to teach them something! Just wanted to tell you - am learning so much better, I think - and having much more fun, with your DVD - you are terrific and we thank you very much.
Linda Hall
