My second session with this video. This time I did better and I didn’t fall during the leg lifting part of the form. It seemed to flow a little smoother for me, even though I still felt clumsy. Because Tai Chi is so slow, the muscles are used differently and I really feel it. I didn’t think I would be able to see the martial arts in these forms, but I do. I can see where the blocks, strikes and kicks are.

Tai Chi
7/30/11
My first attempt at following this video. The slowness was difficult and as usual I felt clumsy. The video is nice and slow and relatively easy to follow. The instructor begins with Chi Kung and then goes into the Tai Chi forms. The movements are not that difficult, even thought I almost fell… twice.
I like having this on video because the convenience is, of course, a bonus. I don’t feel the pressure to be perfect, like when I have a live instructor and classmates.

I have been looking at what different Tai Chi videos are available from the library. I have settled on one called “Element: Tai Chi for Beginners.” I picked this one mainly because it is for beginners. I think I will try a couple of different ones just to see the differences.
