A year ago, I purchased the first companion video and worked on memorising all of the forms. This year I was ready to tackle the next set. Tai Chi II was actually easier for me to follow. Pleasant music. Kind instructor. Very profitable. I wish there were a video of same Dr. Lam doing the forms in natural settings such as Australia's beautiful parks. There is a definite sense of achievement in being able to move in concert with the video. Calming and has helped my balance and flexibility.

12 Movement Forms (on the right & left sides) also incorporated much different Qi Gong practice like Tai Chi for Arthritis (12 forms). Is an ancient China Martial Art (Kung Fu) and it is a gentle, flowing moving meditation, for health. It is also done for health and fitness in China and the USA! Not only is it proven by scientific studies to be effective for reversing illness. It also possesses many other advantages making it an eminently suitable exercise for many. Tai Chi has appeared in traditional Western medical journals. The May 1996 issue of The Journal of the American Geriatrics Society reported on a study conducted at Emory University. The studies show that Tai Chi can reverse over 600 illnesses. Lowers blood pressure while improving balance and self-confidence and more.
Tai Chi was also shown to be effective in stress reduction in an investigation conducted at La Trobe University, Australia, in the early 1990's. And, unlike other exercises disiplines, there are no injuries related to Tai Chi in medical literature.The Video it self is put together well by Dr Paul Lam's excellent teaching skills. The audios and visal are finely tuned to perfection. I personally sell both Videos to my own students, who show they are ready for it. I have been doing Tai Chi since 1993 and I highly recommend Tai Chi for Arthritis 2. If your a beginner and first starting out, try Tai Chi for Arthritis and then buy Tai Chi for Arthritis 2 Video! Its worth it for home studies and practicing! ~Taijiws, NY USA~

Both Part 1 & 2 Tai Chi for arthritis are wonderful and it is not just for folks with arthritis it is for anyone with or without pain. I found my self being able to relax my body, being able to release tension. The video's are easy to follow and very good for your mind and body IF you want to take the time to follow along and pratice later.
