Paul Lam has two good recommendations as a tai chi teacher for those of us with arthritis - he is a gp and he has arthritis. He is also a tai chi expert. Putting these skills together with rheumatologists, doctors, physiotherapists and other tai chi experts has developed an easy to learn, easy to practice set of tai chi moves.
The video follows on from tai chi for arthritis part one. Part two has a simple warm up pattern, and then goes on to show the reverse form of the first tape, and 0 new, more complicated moves.
The teaching pattern is very clear. The move is first demonstrated in its entirety, and then broken into component parts. These are just the right length for the hold and rewind function of the video player. After the move has been learnt, it is shown added on to the previous sequence. So after move 12 is learnt, you join the group doing moves 1-12, after move 13 you do 1-13 and so on.
There is always a clear front and back view of the moves, and it is the nearest thing to working in a real class that you can get.
Although it is titled tai chi for arthritis, it is suitable for almost everyone with restricted mobility or physical difficulties.

This DVD is a superb introduction to Tai Chi. It helped me so much that I went on to become a Certificated Tai Chi Instructor, using Paul Lam's
version of Sun Style Tai Chi. Of all the teaching aids I viewed over the years none has come anywhere near to this one for clarity and effectiveness.
Do not be put off by the volume of titles available from Paul Lam, each one is aimed at attracting persons with a different interest. Choose the one which interests you the most.
Each takes you from beginner to reasonably proficient in a most enjoyable way!

I would like to say that although this is billed as Tai Chi for Arthritis, I found it a great routine for those wishing to progress on Sun Style. There are over 25 movements to the routine. Each movement is clearly explained.
A very good primer to this DVD would be Stephen Luff's Beginner Tai Chi which is also based on Sun Style.
Also there is a big 2 on this product which means its the second part to Tai Chi for Arthritis. I feel the product description should make that clear.

Tai Chi for Arthritis 2
This dvd is more comprehensive than the original Tai Chi for Arthritis - more moves and demonstrations much clearer - better value for money. Prompt despatch from seller.

Try harder Lam
This tape is like the other ones. It has loads of shots of Lam looking pretty and very little tangible substance. The actual exercise could be crammed into 10 mins.

Why do they keep churning out these Tai Chi titles???
What is the point? Joint mobility is important in Arthritis, no doubt about that. Exercise is important in Arthritis, again wouldn't doubt that. Read more
