This DVD is the brain child of Dr Paul Lam who is a family physician in Sydney, Australia, he designed this DVD with a team of medical experts and his TaiChi associates. It is based on Sun and Yang style TaiChi, which is easy to learn, and designed to prevent and improve the control of diabetes.
I know for the sceptics out there this may sound a bit far fetched, and ok so I am new to this and have only been trying it out for a short while, but from what I have read and from my own experience with taichi and mediation I have to agree, it works.

I found this dvd to be very informative and with over 7 hours of material on two dvds contains a lot of information regarding TaiChi. The dvds are also filmed live so the infomation is easily undertood with no voice overs.
Both Yang and Chen style TaiChi are covered with a dvd specifically for each style and there is also a basic Qi Gong style covered.

I did go to a course of chen man ching taichi, but found the 1 1/2 hours too much for my health, the tutor was great at letting me sit out great chenks of the repetitions, and that started my improvements. After a couple of terms, I could manage most of the session. I would still be going if the time/day had not ...
A gentle, relaxing exercise programme where you set your own pace as you tune your body to relieve arthritic pain.
