In 1974 Dr Paul Lam took up tai chi to combat his arthritis. It has been, and still is, a life-changing experience for him. Dr Lam has enjoyed and benefited so much from tai chi that he wants to share it with as many people as possible. He founded East Acton Video and Tai Chi Productions in 1996 to produce useful instructional material to improve people’s health and to facilitate learning. We have now produced many best selling titles worldwide. By 2009 there were over one million people around the world who had learned and benefited from Dr Lam’s Tai Chi for Health programs.

You’ll find the Tai Chi for Health instructional material easy to follow and effective in improving your quality of life and tai chi.
