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

    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

    I'm 74 yrs old, I exercised every day & in good health physically, but I felt something not right about my nerves this is the area that my regular exercises cannot help. I turned to the oriental practice and doing this Tai chi for over a year now, these exercises help, concentrate in your movements and breathing are important. ❤

    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

    @TheSubwaysurfer Год назад

    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

    @julialynnehenry7903 8 месяцев назад +1

    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
