    I also love the idea that there are no plants, no music and no gimmicks. Very plain, very pleasant, very enjoyable. Thank you.

    isnt it too slow for you though? why is it this slow? do you really feel well exercised after this? where is it possible to find a proper workout with tai chi moves?

    This is the best tai chi video I've found! I like that it went slowly and smoothly through the exercises -- the alst 18-movement was fabulous. I want more by him!!

    I have a lot for physical painvand limitations regarding movement. (The history would not be useful) Yesterday, I tried this for the first time, and, believe it or not, I have been able to move around better today. I would like to know if it is good to do it every day. Thank you, So much for the help

    Hello Ian, i live in Belgium. Can't attend your classes because of distance and Corona. Then again I take great comfort and feel the right energy by you as a teacher. Maybe there are more people in my situation? Could full online sessions be a possibility? I would be happy to pay for these sessions, evidently. Thank you very much. Good luck to you, Peter

    From watching you it seems to me that if you have any martial arts experience at all in doing any of the forms you can extrapolate the movements from any particular form and performed up in a slow flowing manner repetitiously to get the same results. Is this hypothesisOf mine correct? I can see you also that if one is familiar at all with any of the tai chi forms you can also stream together favorite movements into a sort of exercise like you’re doing here

    I think you mean well but you really aren't doing Thai chi. I'm guessing you are just making these moves up? I'm not trying to be mean but I can show you what I mean and send you some material if you would like. I'm not suggesting stopping making videos. Maybe just call it your own thing. But thai chi is very specific. Yes with different styles. But. I'm just saying
