I love the fact that you turn your back to us. So much easier to follow rather than the mirror image when someone is facing you!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to you for creating and sharing these videos for free.... I will absolutely buy them at some point, as they are the best instructions on Tai Chi I have ever seen. Your energy is so calm and comforting, and I just had to say thank you for being so kind and generous. I’m sure these videos help a LOT of people.

Chung Nguyen, of course I am not a kungfu master, I only interested in bringing health and happiness to people through tai chi. I dislike fighting and violence. I want to help people fight for better quality of life, fight for harmony and peace. I am a medical doctor who focuses on preventive medicine, my colleagues and I care about people and their health. I have been a family physician for over forty years, I involved in many medical research - my passion is at helping people.

I have answered this several times, making a dvd is a very expensive exercise, once made it is difficult to change let alone the immense cost. Our team did our best, we paid for a professional announcer - and did everything else as profesional and as good as we could. We produced our work with passion and the only objective to help empower people to improve health and wellness. No way we can please everyone or change everything. Thanks for all those who support and appreciate our work and benefited from it. Thanks for those who understand and appreciate how much work and expense we put in compare to vast majority of dvds, and that there is no perfection for every viewer. May I suggest coming to my workshop then you would just have my voice and no announcer.

"It's better to learn fewer movements well, than rushing through many movements". Exactly how I feel about yoga! I'm excited to learn and incorporate Tai chi into my exercise regime. It's a recommended exercise for my blood type, according to Dr. D'Adamo's book, Eat Right 4 Your Type. I have 18 years of ballet and ballroom dancing, and love yoga, so I'm excited to learn this art of movement! Thank you for putting this for free on YouTube!! Your passion for it must be immense to make it available in this way, and I thank you for being a bringer of light into this dark world!

[drpaullamtaichiproductions]

Glad you love our work of passion, we tried very hard to meet everyone's preference. Having reaches well over 15 million people, we found it much more practical to make our work user friendly and instructional clear and step wise. But we are always working on making our work better. Will keep your comments in mind. In fact at the latest advanced series there are only myself teaching but the introduction does have more people - good to see happy tai chi people around the world!

I became a huge fan of Dr.Paul Lam. I am from Kerala, India, and I am a handicapped woman of 50 yrs.I have heard about Tai chi in my school days. But first time iam doing this excercise watching your video. The way you are giving confidence is very much helping me. I am very grateful to you Dr.Lam. You are helping mankind with your amazing knowledge. Iam bowing my head before you.Thank you. sir. Every day I am doing this Tai chi for beginners excercise with my yoga .

[Eriana]

i am so grateful for this video being available - i was bedridden 3 years ago; and this got my up, i got my balance back - and eventually - this past year i was able to get a used bicycle and ride every day for an hour. I hadn't been able to do that in 16 years because of loss of balance in my inner ear - but doing the exercises - helped me get this back. Now - this winter I am doing this again. because i just put my bike in the basement because we are all ice and snow now; - but i'm getting back and headaches from lack of exercise - I just had my 57 birthday - i do not feel 57 in my mind -- -but my body has been though a lot. It is good to help my body. Thank you so much

Hello Dr Lam
I would like to thank you for doing this video.
I have Parkinsonism and it has become very difficult for me to do my favorite yoga.
But this is so simple, not tiring at all, and you do not have to lie down on any mat (when it is almost impossible to get up on your own). Also I feel it has given me more energy, even though I started only about a week ago.
