thanks for your comment, you can see all details at the entire program from the instructional TAi Chi @ Work DVD. You can find more information or place order on my website and look at DVDs and then beginners.

Thank you. I like the way you explained everthing. I just wish I could have seen your feet. Other that … thank you for the post

I am just starting Tai Chi and I thank you Dr. Paul Lam for the instruction.I have friends in Michigan who are advanced in this.It is a great experience.

Yes my purpose is to promote health and relaxation. At the depth of the art, one will find tai chi is based on nature and harmony, its purpose is to help us understand nature, be more harmonious with nature, with ourselves and with each other. Self defence is only one aspect. One of the great tai chi masters, Sun Lu-tang (creator of Sun style tai chi) said: “the highest level of tai chi is to understand the Dao” The Dao is the way of nature.

well every form in tai chi has a purpose. It can be used to either block or attack. But this guy doesn’t tell you about it because his purpose is to teach other for $ and for health/relaxation.

If you really want to understand the concepts in tai chi you need to find a very good master. Some are do the tai chi forms very well and it looks SUPERB but they don’t understand the concepts behind it. They don’t know why they do that form and how it can be used for self-defense.

hey guys if you want to see an eight year old teach tai chi type in rachel’s tai chi! Thanks!

What does the woman in pants do today?

Mayby you can tell me then, is tai chi of any use in improving fighting skills?

this is hard T-T
I feel clumbsy when i do this *sob*
And they move so slowly *sobs harder*
That and i saw an advanced move and tried to do it which resulted in me pulling a calf and a thigh muscle… -_-”
Thanks for the post!

took me 11 years to master tai chi very difficult form of martial art in my opinion for me its not difficult no more but it took me a while to understand the basics lol movement and form of motion

I done some of this exercise even if I didn’t know what is the meaning…. Our body, our mind it is naturaly open when we don’t censured them.

someone answer, when he says 25LB douse he mean BOTH dumbells total or each side 25LB? my dumbels are maxed out with 7kg on each dumbell adding to a total of 15kg including the bar itself, 15kg is 30 lb.

@blazenmessiah I will not bow, by breaking benjamin, (i think)

is it 20-24 pounds on each side or both dumbells together? right now im doing 15 kilos BOTH SIDES put together. I have no clue if thats good or bad, i can also put all the waights on one side and do 10 reps of 14kilos.

side latterals are so fucking hard the first few times

@sixpackshortcuts hey i need to get stronger i want to be a lil bigger then what i am now but i only have 2 dum bells 20 pound and 25 pound im a skinny kid but i want to work out serious intense training so how i do that with only one dumbbells per size?And i want to work on my six pack plus get cut and lean so what do i do for this help please send in a message if its 2 long for here…

This does work im only up to bout 3, 4 sets but the first week of doin this strained some muscles so in the case that happens any reccomendations for any workouts that are a little less strenuous that will still help til your able to get back to this routine

To get the results you are looking for in less than 6 weeks … do the following … 3 times per week – Perform 8 sets with 1 minute rest between sets. Each Set = 9 exercises X 8 Reps Per Excercise no rest in between exercises. Each set should take no more than 4 minutes. Total work out time = 39 minutes. If you find yourself finishing a single set faster than 4 minutes then increase the weight. If completing a single set takes longer than 4 minutes then decrease the weight.

how many reps of each?

name of song please>>>

I’m 16, 6 foot tall, and weigh about 145 lbs. using 15 lb dumbells, how long would it take to see noticable results with this routine doing it 3 times a week plus protein shakes, vitamens, supplements and such? I have a high metabolism and am very active in sports (football, lacrosse). So could i expect to see real results in 3 weeks? thanks

@LostTitans I’m 5′ 6″ and weigh like 120 lbs, so you’re likely as skinny as a twig. You have to eat a fair amount more than you do in addition to a routine like this if you’re wanting to gain muscle mass.

@sixpackshortcuts well im 15 and im about 5’9” and i weight 140 im not skinny or fat i can do this exersice with a 20 pound weight but i cant do the side laterals, should i do 10lbs?

@xDisasterzFear You do this rountine up to 8 times in a row. that will be 32 min if you did that. rest 2 min in b/t. start off doing it 2 times in a row and work your way up from there.

do this whole exercise 8 times? or once every other day?

So do you like only do this for 4 minutes and that’s it? Or is this just one set and you’re supposed to do this many times?

@SavageSnipes Do this routine 3 days a week…I do it on tues, thur and saturday. You can do it that way or on mon, wed, fri.

How many days a week would you suggest doing this routine?

Hey bro just wanted to let you know that this workout is the best dumbell workout Ive seen anywhere! Ive been on it for 2 weeks doing it 4 times instead of 8 and Im already seeing my arms are looking cut, chest muscles are bigger and all. Im working out with 20lb db’s and this workout is awesome!!!

@sixpackshortcuts I completely disagree…there should be 10 sec effective stretches every few sets lol

@GoooboopTT no gaps, go straight thru, then rest about 3 min before doing again. repeat 8 times

@Filipinotiger1 I use to when I was trying to put on more mass

@JackSHWA If you train hard, you can lose about 2% in body fat in just one month. bc your body fats is not high as it is, your training has to be on key. At 11% you should be able to see all 6 pack. Again, the lower body fat your at, the harder it is to get leaner.

@ibiteharddd rep range b/t 8 and 12 is the best to build muscle. under 8 reps builds more strength and some mass, over 12 reps builds more endurance and little muscle.
