Purchashed this DVD with absolutely no problem. Communication between M.Thomas was very easy and quite cordial and quick. Responded to my questions quickly and I would purchase from this person again with no problem. Thank you for putting out an excelent DVD. Tony
thank you so much in putting the time and effort to making the videos for the world to learn and myself, lately i have been having trouble in life so now i am seeking this to keep my body, mind, and spirit in a positive place n hopefully good karma will happen to me, so again i thank you
Tai Chi is a medium that could transcend individuals into people who could become well appreciated. If Tai Chi were practiced properly it could unite the body with the mind to enable both to work in harmony. I hope that Tai Chi has a positive affect on those who practice and use it as a form of Art. Thank you - M Thomas
I ordered the DVD for this tai chi video and they are fast and efficient. I'm glad instructor goes over the steps over and over again. I look nothing like him when moving, maybe in 10 years. I highly recommend. Thank you!
Using a mirror in the back is the BEST idea ever! Most instructional videos are just facing forward and so I sometimes get my arms mixed up. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for these excellent videos. I practiced Tai Chi a little over 12 years ago. After dealing with Fibromyalgia for the past 12 years (better now, but deteriorated health), I want to get back into Tai Chi again. I am going to go to a class but these videos will be so helpful to practice before I start the class and in-between classes. I really appreciate you doing this in front of a large mirror so that your hands can be seen. Thank you so much.
This video is reality in the raw form and not a made for TV adventure. Many people, including myself, have confined spaces and we do take advantage of this space. Thank you - M Thomas
I Have recently retired and was interested in Tai Chi For Years went to some local classes but they were for just individual movements .Found classes at local Health Club but they were way ahead of me ,but what i wanted saw your videos on RUclips and brought one for pratice .It was well done and am now on my way to a full movement Routine Thank You .P.S Number 1 On my Bucket list!!!!
This is the best Tai Chi video. I ordered the DVD and received it within 3 days at no xtra cost. The instruction is clear, with practice drills that strengthen your moves. It gives you a better understanding of the overall movement. Alot of time, effort and work went into making these videos. While I appreciate youtube, having the DVD is great (you can slow motion for what seems like a tricky movement, which for me was grasping the sparrow's tail.) I love it! Keep up the good work!!!!
I want to thank you for these videos. They are done in a way that I can follow very easily. I have health issues and now I can practice in the privacy of my home and throughout the day.
I am on fixed income but now I will make this my mission to pay you for your teachings. The Vet.Adm. has me on a very high dose of pain meds. I need to move so Thank you for opening the door.
m. thomas,, I ordered your dvd to help clarify the basic movements for my wife who has recently begun studying tai chi. I am amazed at her rapid improvement after viewing your instructional video! We received it super fast from you and are thankful for the clear concise explanations of all of the movements. Thanks from New York City!
Dude...the way you talk about your daughter & her education is just so impressive & awesome.. Your just a honest & caring father and just thank you for these amazing instructions for doing this... you do it with class & style with great instructions for us just starting out... Just thank you
I find it easy to talk about the only child I have and love. It is unfortunate that I have only one child. I should also mention that I am not the person in this video. I was the video man and editor. Thank you - M. Thomas
This is the set of forms that are identical to what I learned at the American College of Acupuncture. This is the real deal and this guy is great at giving you the basics and going at the right pace for beginners. I love this.
I started Tai Chi at the Y, but the class is already very experienced. These videos are excellent to help me catch up. My teacher is very good, but she cannot take the time to explain as carefully as this teacher. I need both classroom and these excellent helps. I want to do the form perfectly to get the full benefit.
hello, I'm from republic of Georgia.Three weeks ago I attended Tai chi chuan group, and this video lessons will help me.Thanks !!! Interesting and Beautiful indeed !!
I sent an order, with cash, for the DVD from the UK on 20th October. I received the DVD on 30th October. Amazingly good service. Thank you very much. I.T. (London)
Thank you M Thomas for this great instrument. It brings Tai Chi classes into ones home. The feeling when practicing is great. This is a must have for Tai Chi beginners who want to assure that they're practicing correctly at home too. Greetings from Belgium.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting, clearly explaning and demastrationing Tai Chi Chun. I'm looking into classes but untill I find a dojo teacher, I'm happy to learn what I can from you.
jackygk - It's good to see that someone across the pond feels lucky to have ordered and received this DVD. I hope you take advantage of this DVD by exercising on a daily basis. I am also pleased that you had faith in me and expressed your feelings about the DVD. Thank you for your order and trust. Mike T
THANK YOU! FOR THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO!!! I went to my first Tai Chi class today & it left me confused. Watched your video 5 x & was able to follow you. You're great!!
Sir, thank you very much. I am training for kickboxing right now, and it is very strenuous and frustrating at times. I tried this lesson after a day of training, I find it to be the perfect way to bring one back down after a hard day. Once again, Thank you.
This is awesome. I ordered this and it came so quickly. And now I finally have a chance to start the lessons. It is like having an instructor in your own home. The lessons are laid out easily and clearly. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I LOVE IT
Received today 11/11/2010 especially from America to England UK. It will help me when missing lessons due to work. I am try-ing to learn Tai Chi Yang 24 Beginers. Thank you Sifu M Thomas. Wayne R Cordingley. England.UK.
This is awesome. I just ordered the DVD and the images. The pictures are perfect!! You are like a friend in my home teaching me. Ordering is sooo easy.
I envy your son for having a mother like you. The examples you set now will be forever engrained in your child's mind. I believe that what you are doing is an important way of communicating and expressing the important things in life and that is getting your body and mind to work as one. Your son may grow to have a profound and positive affect in many lives! Thank you for helping your son develop into someone who may be able to think clearly and positively. M. Thomas
tai chi is very challenging to learn at first...especially if you are looking at the pictures on a web page(it took me an hour to learn first 4 steps) which don't show the weight shifting details...THIS VIDEO SERIES IS MUCH BETTER AND SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT! NICE JOB AND THANX.
I believe that peace of mind and concentration go hand in hand. Try sitting and breathe in your nose positive thoughts and breathe out negative thoughts slowly. When you feel comfortable doing this then walk around and do the breathing exercise while concentrating on your breathing. When you feel confident doing the above then you should start your Tai Chi with the simplicity it is since breathing is an essential part of Tai Chi. Breath out negative and breath in positive. Thank you M Thomas
I think it's amazing that you're going through so much for your daughters' future. I know how hard it is to struggle with finances when financial aid refuses to help; I still have 13 months + continuing education left and sometimes the bill is the only thing on my mind. I pray that the hard times become easier for you and yours.
It may be difficult for some but his movements say it all. Limin Jin came here from China and has been performing Tai Chi since he was a child. He now teaches students on a regular basis. This is why he had a DVD made for those who want to learn in the convenience of their home. Thank you - M Thomas
I am new to this. It was recommended for my health. I am 28 mother of 3 i want to be in control of my health to be here for as long as i can for my kids. I have done crystals and aromatics before so i know my breathing and center focus i am looking forward to the journey I have a head of me in the arts of tai chi. Many of my friends are in fight group with the Mathews brothers, Maney, and Jason Lambert ect... however body control and focus are key tools that have great power in the body.
I live in malaysia, i watch our senior cetizen doing this every morning in my neighbourhood but i don't get a chance to join them because i was busy with work and they doing it only in a morning. But now i got to do taichi by my own and anytime i want. Thanks to your video master.
Now I have a new passion: to learn tai chi from you. I`m really happy because I found your channel.You sure are a very patient person to make these videos and posting them.And of course you deserve the title "Master" you`re too modest. ~I will be forever a fan :D ~
I have ordered your videos and I can't wait to start. I love how you divide each mouvment. I'm a very slow learner when it comes to choregraphy, I have two left foot! I can learn my own pace without bothering a whole class! I can pause and resart how many times I need to. I might join a class later on when I'll feel confortable enough so a teacher can correct me.
Translation: 20/4/12 Hi I'm subscribed to a class of Tai Ichi, in my city, and give classes Mondays and Fridays, I like it because it helps me control my fibromyalgia conditions. is fantastic. the Felicitos for these classes. Response: I am glad you found help for this terrible disease. Thank you - M Thomas Risposta: Sono contento che hai trovato aiuto per questa terribile malattia. Grazie a voi - Thomas M
Tai Chi to me is not an exercise it's the most beautiful way one can move one's body. Brought about from curiosity of self awareness I'm assuming. I like to think about the first person to experiment with our bodies movements and how it must of come about. There is a natural flow of movement and energy here. I can't thank you enough for making this video and will certainly donate what I can down the road! Thanks for your time Master *insert bow
I am glad to say that both of you are right. Tai Chi works on both the mind and body too help them become one in peaceful harmony. All of the movements in Tai Chi were taken from martial arts. Thank you - M Thomas
This is a compliment I will never forget. All 11 parts of the complete learning program can be ordered on one DVD by clicking the link below.Thank you M Thomas
My friend m Thomas. I truly admire your tae chi. I have not learned it yet. I trained in the shaolin temple of Kung fu for a while, thn left into the himalayas to meditate on the soul
I ordered the DVD and I am very happy with this buy. The explanations are great, the mirror gives you the necessary perspectives and I am learning faster as with my teacher in the regular class. The only thing that could be improved is the navigation through the lessons. But this is a minor issue compared to the other benefits mentioned before.
tai chi is so beautiful. i love how slow and thoughtful it is. i love to take my time and enjoy things, so this is perfect for me. a group once showed me some of the steps you are going over and i wanted to learn ever since! i am a student myself in my first year of college. it can be so hard to get money and can be so stressful. i think this will help me with the stress. i wish i could buy the dvd right now, but i have no money. maybe when i do i will. good luck to you and your daughter!
My comment would concur with "clawbytes". People in their 70's & 80's have ordered a Tai Chi DVD. It is better to do something than nothing at all, when it comes to your health. Thank you - M Thomas
Thank you so much for the video, I really appreciate what you're doing. I've wanted to try my hand at this for quite some time, but I don't have enough money, nor are there any decent teachers where I live. Thanks to this I can at least get a good understanding of it :) Thank you so much!
It is hard to find a teacher that will be patient with me because I can take a very long time to learn stuff. You do very well at being slow paced and very descriptive. Thank You! I think when my annual tax return comes in March I will buy the DVD :-)
Many people believe the same thing you do. Though this is an Ancient art, Tai Chi is considered to be the most advanced and powerful form of unifying your body and mind. Thank you - M Thomas
My mother's doctor recommended Tai Chi after a heart attack for not only the emotional benefits, but for the physical, as well. Having done Tai Chi for years, quit, and now coming back to it, I can tell you that it is not an aerobic exercise, but one of controlling muscle groups and stress relief. You may sweat a lot in the beginning, especially if performed outdoors, but even that has the positive benefit of ridding you of toxins. Be mindful of heat stress until your heart is stronger.
Many people work on confusing the simple things in life. If they worked on simplifying their life they would find out what they are missing. Thank you - M Thomas
Some people go to College just to say they went. Other people go too do their best, not too impress, but too do their best and feel good about it. This is my daughter. She is the among the other people. Thank you - M Thomas
You are right. If anyone can find a better source I would like to try it. The first person did learn and find methods to incorporate within Tai Chi to help achieve today's results . Tai Chi evolved over the course of a few hundred years by studying the movement of nature and animals. Replicating movements of nature and the right animals took time and effort. Tai Chi is a learning process with many intricate moves and it will continue to be a learning process. Thank you - M Thomas
This is amazing...i've learned other martial arts but i have a sense that tai chi fits me best, i love the way the flow is very smooth and peaceful thank you for this video :)
Thank you for these videos. This is so helpful. The movements are so beautiful to me. I want to learn them all. I have these three so far. It's a start. :)
great video. I received it fast and great customer service. Recommended to everyone who is questioning whether or not to buy it. Elvis- Philadelphia, PA
Thank you for the opportunity too extend my service. The Tai Chi DVD does contain all 11 parts as shown on RUclips. Anyone can click the link below too learn more. Thank you - M Thomas
My sister and I are into our third week of Tai Chi. This is very similar to what we have learned. Good exercises for anyone with a back or joint problem
The National Physical Culture and Sports Commission, of the People’s Republic of China, created and simplified this Tai Chi form in 1956. This became part of the drive to document and standardize Wushu training, thus introducing competition forms. The Beijing 24 form has many names, including the 24-step form, the Peking form, simplified Tai Chi and even just the 24 postures. Thank you - M Thomas
Breathing is a significant part of Tai Chi. Air is also part of the 4 elements of life (water, air, fire and Earth). The DVD covers all of what you would want as a beginner in Tai Chi. Thank you - M Thomas
Me ha gustado y relajado ver lo sencillo que lo hace el maestro, los gestos se ven muy claros. I liked how easy and relaxed look that makes the teacher's gestures are very clear. Yo también requiere dedicación alcanzar las metas que usted ha mencionado. Gracias - M Thomas I takes dedication too achieve the goals you mentioned. Thank you - M Thomas
I just wanted to say thank you for the time you have taken to help, I look forward to practising regularly something I have wanted to do for a long time. And you spreak a lot of sense in your written comments as well :-)
This is the best Tai Chi form tutorial I've found. When you begin learning forms, it's helpful to have already mastered using internal energy to compress and snap your spine. I personally learned from a Wing Chun video, chinaboxer's on the no-inch punch, but I had been practicing for some weeks beforehand as well. I also learned the basics of Tai Chi principles (such as balance and elbow placement) from Enter Tai Chi's channel as well as stated in Chuang Tzu (check out the story of the Ox-Carver, it explains everything in regards to Tai Chi's basis in Taoist philosophy). If you already know how to move your body in this way, it'll make your learning curve much quicker. Even if you don't master the physical movement from the beginning, it's helpful to have some notion of what you're trying to achieve, that is, the generation of power through abdominal pressure (mediated through breathing) and spinal structure (mediated through sinking your weight and tightening your butt and lower stomach to force your pelvis forward and spine straight), so that when you practice, you learn the ability that the forms are trying to teach you and not just the forms themselves. Just sharing my advice. Have fun practicing and God bless.
It would be nice to be able to afford private lessons or have the time to go to Tai Chi lessons but many people can't. This video or the 11 part DVD helps anyone with convenient in home lessons. Thank you - M Thomas
Love this. Great stuff. My wife and I have been talking about doing tao Chii for some time. I'm surprised by the number of hits these videos have. Good also. I'll begin later today. Peace!
Just received video. The ordering process was simple and easy plus the delivery quick. Thanks M. Thomas I am beginning warm ups for a week then will start the lessons. I am so glad you encourage to take it slow. I will let you know how I progress. mj.brinovec
I had Limin Jin (Your Tai Chi Instructor) perform in front of a mirror for people to see both sides. The speed is up to you. No one has too perform Tai Chi fast. It is a soothing art. This is only one part of an 11 part series with all 11 parts shown on RUclips. You can watch the videos on RUclips or have a personal instructor in you home if you order a DVD with all 11 parts on ONE DVD. I hope you do not give up. Thank you - M Thomas
Limin Jin teaches in the Detroit, Michigan suburbs. I cannot refer any program since I am not familiar with computer programs or your computer. I also agree with you about it being easier to learn Tai Chi with the DVD because you can view it better on TV and you can reverse or play at your own discretion. Thank you - M Thomas
Thank you for the compliment and I truly appreciate your order. You can say that buying the DVD gives you a personal instructor because you get a clear picture of what to do on your TV and you can repeat and repeat at your discretion with a very clear view of what to do. Thank you - M Thomas
@shiifu - Thank you for letting viewers know about the importance of Tai Chi, no matter what form. It does your body and mind good. Thank you - M Thomas
Practicing this form has helped me to see the truth within and around me..though it is ugly its still the truth and one can only hope for peace and understanding amidst the homicidal rat race we know as life. Whether you practice the form or not every day is a new adventure in chi and it will not end until death.
Thank you so much, I need to learn this because I must teach my husband who has Pancreatic cancer and he is learning Chi Kung right now, I thought it would also be helpful if he can do Tai Chi. Thank you
Thanks for uploading. I am very interested in relaxation techniques and I am following your movements in my room. I will let you know of my progress. -Robin Ly
Thanks for your polite and quite informative answer Thomas...the way one answers tells a lot about that person ... RUclips is full of selfpromoting amateurs, so why am I not surprised over the reaction ... have a great evening :-)
Purchashed this DVD with absolutely no problem. Communication between M.Thomas was very easy and quite cordial and quick. Responded to my questions quickly and I would purchase from this person again with no problem. Thank you for putting out an excelent DVD.

Thank you so much for the video, I really appreciate what you're doing. I've wanted to try my hand at this for quite some time, but I don't have enough money, nor are there any decent teachers where I live. Thanks to this I can at least get a good understanding of it :) Thank you so much!
It is hard to find a teacher that will be patient with me because I can take a very long time to learn stuff. You do very well at being slow paced and very descriptive. Thank You! I think when my annual tax return comes in March I will buy the DVD :-)
Many people believe the same thing you do. Though this is an Ancient art, Tai Chi is considered to be the most advanced and powerful form of unifying your body and mind. Thank you - M Thomas
Awesome video for a person like myself at the age of 39! Ill be practicing this like i study my bible daily.
Great video! I came across it about 10 years ago but unfortunately stopped practicing. I now am now in the process of trying to learn it again.
My mother's doctor recommended Tai Chi after a heart attack for not only the emotional benefits, but for the physical, as well. Having done Tai Chi for years, quit, and now coming back to it, I can tell you that it is not an aerobic exercise, but one of controlling muscle groups and stress relief. You may sweat a lot in the beginning, especially if performed outdoors, but even that has the positive benefit of ridding you of toxins. Be mindful of heat stress until your heart is stronger.
You must be doing what should be done while performing Tai Chi because this what Tai Chi does to a lot of people. Thank you - M Thomas
Dude, you are excellent at explaining the movements in great detail. I love your teaching style.
Many people work on confusing the simple things in life. If they worked on simplifying their life they would find out what they are missing. Thank you - M Thomas
Some people go to College just to say they went. Other people go too do their best, not too impress, but too do their best and feel good about it. This is my daughter. She is the among the other people. Thank you - M Thomas
You are right. If anyone can find a better source I would like to try it. The first person did learn and find methods to incorporate within Tai Chi to help achieve today's results . Tai Chi evolved over the course of a few hundred years by studying the movement of nature and animals. Replicating movements of nature and the right animals took time and effort. Tai Chi is a learning process with many intricate moves and it will continue to be a learning process. Thank you - M Thomas
This is amazing...i've learned other martial arts but i have a sense that tai chi fits me best, i love the way the flow is very smooth and peaceful thank you for this video :)
Tai Chi is a simple form of maintenance for every body. Thank you - M. Thomas
Please keep up with the lessons on a daily basis. Thank you.
Thank you for these videos. This is so helpful. The movements are so beautiful to me. I want to learn them all. I have these three so far. It's a start. :)
I am a beginner and i really like the steps the movements. You take your time and thank you
great video. I received it fast and great customer service. Recommended to everyone who is questioning whether or not to buy it. Elvis- Philadelphia, PA
Thank you for the opportunity too extend my service. The Tai Chi DVD does contain all 11 parts as shown on RUclips. Anyone can click the link below too learn more. Thank you - M Thomas
My sister and I are into our third week of Tai Chi. This is very similar to what we have learned. Good exercises for anyone with a back or joint problem
As a 24 form tutorial, it's okay. But it's no real Tai Chi, which you simply can't learn by yourself. For a way to relax, this is spot on. Good job!
There were many ways too make the video and DVD. I found that this view was overwhelmingly accepted. Thank you - M Thomas
The National Physical Culture and Sports Commission, of the People’s Republic of China, created and simplified this Tai Chi form in 1956. This became part of the drive to document and standardize Wushu training, thus introducing competition forms.
The Beijing 24 form has many names, including the 24-step form, the Peking form, simplified Tai Chi and even just the 24 postures. Thank you - M Thomas
Very good and healthy attitude. Your personal approach too Tai Chi has a commitment. Thank you - M Thomas
Breathing is a significant part of Tai Chi. Air is also part of the 4 elements of life (water, air, fire and Earth). The DVD covers all of what you would want as a beginner in Tai Chi. Thank you - M Thomas
Me ha gustado y relajado ver lo sencillo que lo hace el maestro, los gestos se ven muy claros.
I liked how easy and relaxed look that makes the teacher's gestures are very clear.
Yo también requiere dedicación alcanzar las metas que usted ha mencionado. Gracias - M Thomas
I takes dedication too achieve the goals you mentioned. Thank you - M Thomas
I just wanted to say thank you for the time you have taken to help, I look forward to practising regularly something I have wanted to do for a long time. And you spreak a lot of sense in your written comments as well :-)
I hope you have a great Tai Chi experience and you continue your Tai Chi. Thank you - M Thomas
@Ondesdevie - It's always great to hear from someone who enjoys doing Tai Chi. Thank you - M Thomas
This is the best Tai Chi form tutorial I've found. When you begin learning forms, it's helpful to have already mastered using internal energy to compress and snap your spine. I personally learned from a Wing Chun video, chinaboxer's on the no-inch punch, but I had been practicing for some weeks beforehand as well. I also learned the basics of Tai Chi principles (such as balance and elbow placement) from Enter Tai Chi's channel as well as stated in Chuang Tzu (check out the story of the Ox-Carver, it explains everything in regards to Tai Chi's basis in Taoist philosophy). If you already know how to move your body in this way, it'll make your learning curve much quicker. Even if you don't master the physical movement from the beginning, it's helpful to have some notion of what you're trying to achieve, that is, the generation of power through abdominal pressure (mediated through breathing) and spinal structure (mediated through sinking your weight and tightening your butt and lower stomach to force your pelvis forward and spine straight), so that when you practice, you learn the ability that the forms are trying to teach you and not just the forms themselves.
Just sharing my advice. Have fun practicing and God bless.
Thank you - M. Thomas
Dr. Paul Lam is also very good in Tai chi RUclips tutorials.
It would be nice to be able to afford private lessons or have the time to go to Tai Chi lessons but many people can't. This video or the 11 part DVD helps anyone with convenient in home lessons. Thank you - M Thomas
Love this. Great stuff. My wife and I have been talking about doing tao Chii for some time. I'm surprised by the number of hits these videos have. Good also. I'll begin later today. Peace!
Just received video. The ordering process was simple and easy plus the delivery quick. Thanks M. Thomas
I am beginning warm ups for a week then will start the lessons. I am so glad you encourage to take it slow. I will let you know how I progress.

It was placed on our health play list to interst our patients to good health.
I had Limin Jin (Your Tai Chi Instructor) perform in front of a mirror for people to see both sides. The speed is up to you. No one has too perform Tai Chi fast. It is a soothing art. This is only one part of an 11 part series with all 11 parts shown on RUclips. You can watch the videos on RUclips or have a personal instructor in you home if you order a DVD with all 11 parts on ONE DVD. I hope you do not give up. Thank you - M Thomas
Limin Jin teaches in the Detroit, Michigan suburbs. I cannot refer any program since I am not familiar with computer programs or your computer. I also agree with you about it being easier to learn Tai Chi with the DVD because you can view it better on TV and you can reverse or play at your own discretion. Thank you - M Thomas
Thank you for the compliment and I truly appreciate your order. You can say that buying the DVD gives you a personal instructor because you get a clear picture of what to do on your TV and you can repeat and repeat at your discretion with a very clear view of what to do. Thank you - M Thomas
@shiifu - Thank you for letting viewers know about the importance of Tai Chi, no matter what form. It does your body and mind good. Thank you - M Thomas
Practicing this form has helped me to see the truth within and around me..though it is ugly its still the truth and one can only hope for peace and understanding amidst the homicidal rat race we know as life. Whether you practice the form or not every day is a new adventure in chi and it will not end until death.
Thank you so much, I need to learn this because I must teach my husband who has Pancreatic cancer and he is learning Chi Kung right now, I thought it would also be helpful if he can do Tai Chi.
Thank you
Thanks for uploading. I am very interested in relaxation techniques and I am following your movements in my room. I will let you know of my progress.

Thankyou for this video,learning feng shui with tai chi right now to balance myself=) * yoga's pretty nice too lol
Very good, very clear. Good technique advice for a beginner such as myself.
Thanks for your polite and quite informative answer Thomas...the way one answers tells a lot about that person ... RUclips is full of selfpromoting amateurs, so why am I not surprised over the reaction ... have a great evening :-)
I am lost for words. This is a lot more than I would have ever expected. I hope for the best. Thank you for your amazing testimonial - M Thomas
