Superior, impressive, and not just for kids!
This tape is well geared toward "young people" (i.e. teenagers) and is thus too sophisticated for "little people" (i.e. preschoolers). However, this is a superb instructional video for any healthy body over the age of 8 or so. My daughter, age 9, and I were both extremely impressed with the thoroughness of Dr. Lam's teaching. For each and every form, Dr. Lam explains the form, demonstrates it, then carefully breaks it down into a simple series of motions. He has an teen assistant perform each step of the form again as he points out subtleties of the movement or mistakes to aviod. The assistant then demonstrates the form from the front, the side, and the back. Finally, Dr. Lam performs the form again himself. Other Tai Chi videos we've seen expect the viewer to just follow along and hope they're doing it right. With this video, you can't miss. Dr. Lam also urges viewers to practice and master one form before moving on to the next. Not only does this ensure better mastery of the forms, but it also helps young people learn patience, commitment, and focus. We cannot praise this video enough!
