Books are invaluable in learning, but DVDs have advantages over books for learning tai chi, so long as they are well constructed.

Naturally the ideal way to learn is by having the best teacher, the best book and the most appropriate DVD. but we can’t always have everything at one time.  If you cannot find a suitable teacher, you’ll learn more from a well-produced DVD than a bad teacher. Universities have used DVDs to teach their students and many major international corporations have used DVD successfully for training their staff.

Dr Lam’s  DVDs are carefully planned and professionally produced.  Where appropriate, each program has included advice from medical and other experts of the appropriate fields.  The products have been tested to ensure they are “learner friendly”, and useful for improving health and tai chi skill.
