@madagasarjoan There is a Tai Chi dvd which is focused more on those who have arthritis which is said to be good. I have trouble with my knees and I have found that tai chi does help with the problems, just make sure you go as far as you can go :)
@felixkjoller Yeah, totally. All forms of taiji are full of breaks, locks, etc... once you deeply understand the form, it's very easy to wrap yourself around an opponent and snap something important.
One saying goes that a one-year taiji student will lose most fights against other one-year fighters, but that a ten-year taiji student will win most fights against other ten-year fighters.
I heard that it is performed this slowly to really work the details of the movements and that if you were to use it in real combat, it's extremly deadly. Do you know anything about that?
she is doing the 24 forms here. Which is actually a Yang style.. all of it is. It is not a mixture of styles. Gao Jiamin happens to be among the cream of the top of people who can do this form correctly. I have seen this form done differently and it looks horrendous.
I try it myself, its difficult, but I can learn it, its a good way for spirit and body

@VelveteenSaint You seem to know something about it.
