good day! Half of my body is paralyzed due to my heart disease. My heart is healed now but my body is still paralyzed for four years now. I have started attending a free Tai Chi lessons here on our place. How can tai chi improve my physical condition? Would you know of somebody who has the same condition as mine was healed by the use of Tai Chi? God bless you,
Beats me how they can do this without laughing. Saw a bloke doing it on the beach once; i think one of the basic phyisical requirements must be a very thick skin.
I can see how it helps older people (ex: blood flow and stretching) and young children (ex: concentration), but what are the benefits for someone in between?
@HeimdallTheFalcon Tai Chi can be used as a martial art. The movements are slow but if you use them for defense, it works too. Search for "Tai chi self defense demonstration".
I am quite CONFUSED. There are so many Tai Chi versions, origins and practices. I am doing Tai Chi and it is nothing like this. I am gaining core strength, muscular strength and my legs and arms are stronger. All of my muscle groups are stronger. I am also gaining better balance and coordination and finally, a calmness overwhelms me. But it is nothing like this. I am quite CONFUSED.
I played a violent sport for many years and have suffered many injuries and have permanent joint pain. I do not use pain management medication and have difficulty exercising. I am thinking about using tai chi for conditioning. Do you believe it could also be helpful in controlling pain. I think I will ask my medical doctor but would like any information you or commentators may have.
I just thought of Tai Chi as an excersize routine I could do and plan on asking my doctor about it next monday. I hope that through it not only will I be healthier, but also improve on my patience and balance. Although I have to ask, is Tai Chi good for if I don't have much space to work with (I have a small room)?
How does this compare with other styles of martial arts? I know and practise various styles but none of them are like this with the slow movements. I learn for defense not attack first and Tai chi was recomended to me because of that. Saying that I do have a slight temper (I'm a red head it happens) and do need to learn to calm down more.
Does Tai Chi have any connection with Taoism? I wold be interested to know that. I really like Taoism. I think the Chinese really have a wonderful insight into how to get though life, due to the long history of Chinese civilisation.
@IlRezzonico Tai Chi utilise the phylosophical understand of nature according to the ancient Taoism, and it is a wonderful art to help us understand life better - and to be healthier so that we have life to learn more about it. Dr Lam
@IlRezzonico Tai Chi IS Taoism. You become the Tao while performing and mastering the tai chi movements. It all represents balance, oneness, and mental stillness. Powerful stuff, they say tai chi masters can equip their bodies so well that some become immune to disease such as cancer and terminal illnesses, that's all folklore but it is one of the most powerful things you can do.
would someone like me who isnt able to balnce on my one side be able to do this?i'm scared of falling and yes i'm young but got alot of health problems and i really want to regain my balance back.i think its pretty cool how he explains how to do it bc it took me just looking at the person to figure out how its done.idk if that made sense but what if ur just doing this for balance do u need to buy the artitst one aswell?ty for your time.have a nice day. :)
He stop teaching in the late 80's.Since then he is never went back but in the years I was with him I learn a lot .Paul Lam is good from some people that went to him but he to far away for like 560klm
This one teacher in Sydney teacher Mak Po Sun was on of the students of the two sons of Yang Chen Fu.He was in Lane Cove and people lost him because no one wanted to learn the Yang original form he new the form inside out including sword,pole,sable,dagger,two man set fighting form ,da lu,push hands and Yang fast form .He was one of the Yang So Chung best student and favorite .When I went to I only paid $4 and got hours of learning from him but I practice long hours in the morning .
@djiin608 When you meet the "hardness" of the opponent with the softness of T'ai Chi, you transform the opponent's "hardness" into nothingness. You must remain internally reserved, you must possess "hardness" without expressing it. When you master sticking, adhering, connecting, and following, you progress from conscious movement to interpreting energy, to spiritual illumination and the realm of absolute transcendence. Once this is reached, you can move a thousand pounds with a mere ounce.
4 all you kids that r complaining that they r old foggies and quote"this type of Tai Chi is for old people", you are so wrong im embarrassed for you. the reason they people "Look " old is becuase they have been practising and doing tak chi from the time they were 4 or 5. tai chi is also a martial arts which you work yourself up to. sounds to me like you all want to be kick boxers and martial arts expers to show off to your mates. you have 2take it slowly, + it shows you how 2 learn balance 1st
I bought this. It's actually very good! :) I learned tai chi before but didn't want to go into 24 form...being a doctor and tai chi master, he gives excellent advice and warm-ups. Also doesn't blabber on about chinese philosophy on Qi !
@drpaullamtaichi this looks ridiculous, i feel i've come to the wrong place to unlock my inner power and learn how to fight and believe me i'm not a meathead looking to beat someone up because i believe i have a certain kind of ki energy and was told tai chi might be the answer but all i find is a bunch of old folk trying to get fit. i'm not attacking people who do tai chi, but i feel bewildered now as to what martial art harness that spiritual energy and become something more
@iceblade05 tai chi can be many things to many people. as a martial art it focuses at listening to the incoming force, yield, absorb incoming force and redirect. tai chi often attracts people who like peace and harmony. Tai chi is one of the most powerful exercise for health for people of any age. it is probably not for you but don't put older folk down - only the lucky ones get to become older. life experience helps to make a person more interesting. Dr Lam
@drpaullamtaichi and @iceblade05 I couldn't agree with you more Dr. Lam. I have noticed in life it's not about the fighting, it seems to be more about how you handle a situation, and deal with the actions you deal. I have been watching your videos on tai chi, and have been learning so much from you! I currently am training in Wing Chun, and believe that tai chi will help improve my martial art, and state of mind. Iceblade, learn to expand your knowledge of martial art
and only then will you understand what martial art is all about. Sure you can to be a simpleton, but do you have to slander a man that could easily render you, without a punch.
@iceblade05 thank you for sharing . We all have different motivations for doing what we do, no matter the outward form. It sounds like you need to search for an instructor, regardless of "style", who is in tune with the physical, the energetic, and the spiritual. The last one is the tricky part. Those "old folk" are probably in tune with and capable of using energies you are only vaguely aware of at this point in your development. Good luck! Grandmaster Chuck Blackburn: chuckblackburndotcom
@teachur will you people pls stop replying to my comment, i have news for you, recently i have looked up the PROPER tai chi martial arts i was searching for with decent results and that routine where you move about is actual a deadly take down at fast speed, which(lol) you won't find an old person in it for the fitness able pull off unless its your grandmother who happens to be really good.....perhaps a little too good... : /
sorry this type of tai chi is for old people. Tai Chi is supposed to be relaxing, but its also supposed to be a form of Martial Arts. These Old Codgers are treating it like yoga.
@markjnorris Look up every single Martial Arts movie ever made except for the karate kid and then say that again. And besides, they can't fight anyone if they are going this slow. Relaxation is important but you need strength and stamina as well. Which is why My Tai Chi Master believes in full body workouts
@FaidleyEthan hahaha, as far as I know, a yoga master is much less likely to sprain a muscle in a fight than you are ;-.- all eastern practices are aimed to keep your body and mind in top condition from todler to OOOOLD age, not just wile you're young.
@DJBelbe well you don't know me and i am far above the average person in terms of flexibility, so haha to you. And furthermore, I haven't taken I liking to Yoga or this Non-Hardcore-version-of-Tai-Chi because of the overwhelming sissy booboo woman fan base - Women who partake in it just because their work and home life would be too stressfull without it. Men need real Martial Arts like Hardcore-Tai Chi, Judo, Fencing, Jujitsu, Capoera! Relaxing is good but total body workout is important for opt
@DJBelbe You're pretty good and making you needs everybody's needs? I know men who like Tai-Chi and other who freak out at the lack of action! they actually become more stressed by it, LOL! but to those men I would advise some hardcore draining exercise followed by a slo-mo one so they learn to train their minds and not just their freakin assses else they'll be thinkin with their balls for the rest of their days wich is sad once they wither with age shrink and there's nothin to replace them...
@madsquablz1 I'm not an expert but I think many of those "Eastern" practices, i.e. Tai Chi, yoga, meditation, are known for calming and relaxing you, but also helping you develop more control over your mind and body
Tai Chi is fake and gay, walking has gotta be healthier than this garbage. Normally I think the Orientals have us beat on alot of things, but this makes them seem weak.
LOL WTF I THOUGHT TAI CHI IS FAKE AND GAY BUT WTF.. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS DAY HOW TO BE THROWN AWAY WITH THAT... I MISJUDGE THIS STYLE, I KNOW MILITARY SELF DEFENSE BUT WTF IS THIS STYLE IT IS POWERFUL LIKE DRAGON BALL Z
@obyndjd503 Basically, from a MARTIAL Tai Chi aspect, imagine regularly practicing a fighting drill, just in slow motion. Imagine having to, in that slow speed, make the movements fluid and graceful, nonetheless. Think about how much control you'd have over your balance, with time. How well you would know every muscle in your body. Now imagine what you could do to someone, if you were to speed all that up ; )
Tai Chi takes time to get good at, but when someone does, they become very powerful.
I love and enjoy practice Tai Chi . I 'm not 80 years old . i have a long journey and too many winters and summer to reach that glorious age. I wish be lucky and reach that age and still practice Tai Chi.
@ThePIKASAUR yes, check tai chi vs ... There are combats, but only the "serious" Tai Chi, not this squishy health-old people stuff. Thai Chi is a peaceful art, which is why they don't flaunt it, but in the Thai Chi "serious" arts, they know how to self defend, and usually win.
it's hard to follow videos i find.. Unless you've done it once or twice. But this I think is helpful for the people who have.. as a way to remind them when they're still learning.
Tai chi is great I'm 16 and it just calms me this video is great for learners and also improves your self confidence and you will be more fit I now hav the abbs I never thought I would and all thanks to tai chi
@xorganizationxvx No mabey I didn't explain myself right, I understand to some extent that you think it's stupid and it's something I'am gonna have to get over.
It's just at my old high school I did Ti chi for a while and for the very few teenager's that went there, got the mikey takin' out of us ..left right and center -__- .I wish more that in these Ti Chi video's, they show the younger and older generneration togerther...So it promote's the fact it isn't boring and just for older people. :)
@WarriorOfTheHeavens +1 one with you there. People are so closed minded, especially when there's things out there that are SO much weirder and freaky than tai-chi...I would know i'm a scalie / furry XD ... but yeah, people not only need to embrace the new and adapting but the ancestral and exotic.
Most practice Tai Chi to improve circulation and relaxation. That's why lots of old people do it. It might surprise the young imbeciles out there, but everybody's body decays as you age. In fact, that's what aging means. If you think you won't realize one day that time has flown by and you're old now, you're in for a shocking wake up call.
@mraltha2010 from what I have heard, it helps with Parkinson's and people who have suffered small strokes, which is why I am here. it's also amazing for people with major anxiety and stress disorders as well as others I probably dont even know about.
@OushGisher (Bows) Thank you, thank you. I do appreciate Tai Chi, but I must say, your water bending does make my knees shake trying to hold the poses. lol! I don't believe I quite have the patience... You know us Fire nation people...
i have a question ...is tai chi contains 5 styles?? chen style,yang style,hoa style,wu style and sun style...so which style in tai chi is used??(in nowadays)
There are many claims on here, but no facts to back them up. If we state that Tai Chii is good for health or can help vertigo we should probably mention why this is the case. Also, I like Tai Chii, so don't get me wrong there.
Oh my lord I joined a group and didn't know what it was and signed up for it anyway. LOL i thought it was about chopping people to the ground. This is ok
alahmak...all real bullshit...go to China learn from a certified teacher of credibale standing.....don't beleive others..al half past six?okdon't be a fool to all salesmen.
@theonewhosaidNO Haha I guess you're right. Well I haven't found any vids on youtube, but I've read and learned a lot about Tai-Chi and it was actually a method of fighting for the most elite in Ancient China. In the last 100 years when Red-China (communism) was arising, the government had to put a stop to Tai-Chi practitioners because they were afraid they would be too powerful. Watch the movie called "Twin Warriors" it's about Tai-Chi's true power ^-^
@Kruelwanderer911 Ok.... two hours ago i was looking for a good martial arts movie to watch...... i watched ninja assassin and now thanks to you I'm downloading Twin Warriors..... i hope it's good.....
@Kruelwanderer911 it was.... strange..... not what i expected... but it really shoved tai-chi's true power... i think i might try to practice tai-chi....

ThePIKASAUR 11 months ago
@ThePIKASAUR yes, check tai chi vs ... There are combats, but only the "serious" Tai Chi, not this squishy health-old people stuff. Thai Chi is a peaceful art, which is why they don't flaunt it, but in the Thai Chi "serious" arts, they know how to self defend, and usually win.

@xorganizationxvx No mabey I didn't explain myself right, I understand to some extent that you think it's stupid and it's something I'am gonna have to get over.
It's just at my old high school I did Ti chi for a while and for the very few teenager's that went there, got the mikey takin' out of us ..left right and center -__- .I wish more that in these Ti Chi video's, they show the younger and older generneration togerther...So it promote's the fact it isn't boring and just for older people. :)

@WarriorOfTheHeavens +1 one with you there. People are so closed minded, especially when there's things out there that are SO much weirder and freaky than tai-chi...I would know i'm a scalie / furry XD ... but yeah, people not only need to embrace the new and adapting but the ancestral and exotic.

chi854 1 year ago
Most practice Tai Chi to improve circulation and relaxation. That's why lots of old people do it. It might surprise the young imbeciles out there, but everybody's body decays as you age. In fact, that's what aging means. If you think you won't realize one day that time has flown by and you're old now, you're in for a shocking wake up call.

It might seem slow, but Taichi is fast when u fight....
For ex, u see taichi masters being slow, but when he hits he hits so fast u barely see it coming, because u expect a slow attack.

There are many claims on here, but no facts to back them up. If we state that Tai Chii is good for health or can help vertigo we should probably mention why this is the case. Also, I like Tai Chii, so don't get me wrong there.

@theonewhosaidNO Haha I guess you're right. Well I haven't found any vids on youtube, but I've read and learned a lot about Tai-Chi and it was actually a method of fighting for the most elite in Ancient China. In the last 100 years when Red-China (communism) was arising, the government had to put a stop to Tai-Chi practitioners because they were afraid they would be too powerful. Watch the movie called "Twin Warriors" it's about Tai-Chi's true power ^-^
