I'm glad you got some benefit from the videos. Tai Chi benefits are different from weightlifting. That's why I believe that you should do both. One of my teachers was very strongly against weight training but I'm not. Your knee shouldn't hurt after doing the form. You have to be very careful to keep the bottom of your feet flat on the floor. That keeps your knee joint aligned properly. Maybe you're squatting too deeply. It's important that your knees don't hurt.

The more of your lessons I download, the more I like them. The music selections are a nice background to the work. Thanks

@jackclivingston Thank you, I tried it again with my feet flat, and my knees don't hurt anymore. I'm becoming more familiar with the movements, and it takes time to get it perfectly down to the last detail, such as keeping your feet flat.

Thank you so much for these videos, I'm 14 and have looked everywhere for T'ai Chi videos, but couldn't find them anywhere. I heard from someone that T'ai Chi gives the same effects as weightlifting? I'm not sure, though I do feel my knee ache after I did this form.

Mr.Livingston I am fairly young but bad health has taken alot fron me. Thank you for your videos I'm hoping it will help me regain some of what I've lost.Both body and mind. I am trained in martial arts but I feel this(Tai Chi/Your videos) is what I need the most. You seem so content. Bless you and Keep it coming.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm very glad you find my videos valuable. When I said that the two hands meet, it's as though the chi comes from the palms and meet each other about 2 ft. behind your partner. It's as though the hands squeeze together and, as if the partner weren't there, meet at the point through and behind the partner. The two hands form the bottom of a triangle and they converge to the single point behind.
