2.0 out of 5 stars Good for Beginners Only Feb 2 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
While Dr Lam seems to be an excellent teacher, the moves are slow and repeated enough times for a beginner to follow, this DVD gives no indication of what style Tai Chi is being taught, the reasons behind the movement, the description of what they represent or anything else that is important to learn when learning Tai Chi. Also, the video quality is poor by today's standards (it looks as though it was filmed by an amateur in someone's basement). I was disappointed with the purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars It was difficult to follow April 9 2003
By A Customer
Format:DVD
I had started Tai Chi with Dr. Lams 6 forms 6 easy lessons and found that video excellant, thorough explainations and continuous breakdown of each moves which you practiced with him first, then his assistant Paul and then a class. I found this 24 form video very difficult to follow because the moves are not practiced or demonstrated as well as the first video. He gives a discussion of each move as demonstrated by a helper and maybe an alternate view. However, thats it, except for the complete demonstration at the end. So if your like me, you continously have to flip back and forth between the demo at the end and the explaination of move. Sounds simple but I can't follow the forward demo so I have to fast forward to the demo from the back view, then go back to the main menu scroll down to the move I need to review, then back again to the demo where you have to fast forward all over again. He should break the demo into two seperate spaces. I have many years of Karate so I can follow most of these moves, but if your a real beginner, I would not recommend this DVD.

1.0 out of 5 stars looks like it was filmed in a basement by his wife! Aug 20 2001
By Stacy
Format:DVD
I can't believe I wasted the money on this DVD. The filming was horrible. The lessons itself were very slow and boring. The demostration too fast. So I am left looking into anotehr video. I go this one because everyone wrote they loved it and I am upset that I picked it based on that.
