Please let us know what you think of the pace of this class, what you enjoyed and what you would like to see. Enjoy!
0:12. Watched and followed til got tired on next to last repeat of crane wings form. Then just watched that. Very much appreciate Master Pei's, calm, easy to follow explanations all the way from the beginning or TaiChi overview part. Demonstrations easy to follow, but looking at this on tablet (not big screen) I wished for easier way to see the left and right trousers when one crossed the other (point of view of audience). Would lighter color instead of black trousers make that easier to distinguish? Thank you very much for the care, clarity, and pace.
This video has helped me so much! I have always wanted to practice tai chi, but no places close to me. Master Pei moves so beautifully it inspires me to keep at this until I can move like him! I have seen improvements in my balance and muscle strength from just doing the warm ups and movements up to the ‘crane’. Can’t wait to move on to the next movements, but want to get better at these first. Thank you SO much for these videos!! ❤❤
@@MonAmie. that’s how I feel too.
I am a new student, and I searched for instruction at exactly this pace. I repeat full lessons five or more times and learn something new each time.
After you’ve mastered this video, what is the next you should move on to?
11:40 Warm up
23:56 Start
53:58 All together
Thamx. Vwry helpfull
god bless u haha
Thank you for the break-down! Very helpful
Thank u so much 🙏
Thank you!
Just leaving this here for myself
11:40 - Warmup
23:56 - Start
😂😂😂😂
Useful, thanks!
Yeah to much talk in the beginning i also jump to that point.
@@Genci0 I didn't mind the talk when watching the video for the first time but if I'm just looking to do a quick warmup or practice then I'd rather skip it
Thanks for the bookmarks💯
I'm here to learn how to waterbend, this is my first step to becoming an avatar
you have the power already.
@@ronjongood does this allow one to feel energy? Im trying to start aerokinesis training to see if its real or not but ive found feeling energy is one of the keys
@nivek human beings have latent abilities that wouldn’t of been uncommon to see thousands of years ago but in this age most people’s potential to develop them are snuffed out by all the vibrational- well overall mind, body, and vibrational dulling chemicals and low energy substances found in our air, clothes, food, homes, music, media, all the way down to the toxins that are pumped into our water and the way it’s nature healing structure is altered through pipes
Lol 😂 😂, you stupid!
So wassup? Did you?
I learned Tai Chi 25 years ago in Portland and wanted to regain that feeling I still remember while practicing and try to relearn. Now that I live in the countryside of Japan, there aren't any Tai Chi dojo within 85km of me. The warm up is so important and I had forgotten a lot of those, but this brought the memory back. A lot of other videos skip the warm up completely and don't explain why every moment is important and what small feelings you should be aware of, just like when you actually study from a master. This is the next best thing to taking it in person, because you are explaining it exactly how I remember. Thank you for sharing these.
Thank you. We work hard to make good lessons to help people learn and feel better.

@@BodyWisdomClasses Very grateful, because I only ever want to start from the beginning. 🙏🙏🙏
Same with me, I did a course about 25 yesrs ago and had to see that I have forgotten some moves in the meantime. So thank you very much for explaining them so beautifully and making us repeating them again and again.
Really effective introduction to Tai Chi. No bells and whistles or over promotion just a calm and clear video.
Thank you for your feedback

After watching this video many times to get the moves down, I downloaded this as an mp3 file (audio only) and now, it's on my phone and with ear buds, I can take it outside and do my tai chi outside. It's wonderful having Master Pei in my ear while I do this!
That's an excellent idea thanks👍☯️🙏
Oh what a great tip, thank you!
@@Stella-vj6sx No problem! Have fun!
Such a fantastic idea!! Thankyou I'm going to try this ❤
@@sarahshelley2801 You're so welcome! :)
You are a fantastic teacher for Tai C,hi🙏🙏🙏
This man is not a calm man - he is calmness itself.
😊
And he has a very likeable charisma (hope that this describes correctly what I mean). I look forward to seeing him again every morning.
Those of us with Rheumatoid Arthritis can confirm. Your joints are important. Thank you for this video
For those who, like me, have trouble following with the t.v.- I use the mirror on my dresser, which allows me full vision of my t.v., u have no idea how much it helps!!!
I can see why this works. Now that ive tried it! Im going to use your method! thanks ;)
thats awesum... x thanks
Your suggestion has helped so much! Mahalo :)
I find the masters should mirror it for the students xD
Thanks for the suggestion. I place my iPad or laptop on the floor facing a full length mirror. Makes it much easier to follow.
I'm disable due to Parkinson, not much money so have to watch videos like yours and try to learn that way. My Doctor is Asian, He has done acupuncture treatment on me which has helped a whole lock with my back pain, told me to take up Tai Chi so trying to learn as much as I can threw videos
Im sorry to hear you have parkinson disease. Im no expert but believe that this kind of training can help all who practice it. Can i also recommend for you to practice 30 minutes of diaphragmatic exercises and pelvic floor strength exercises 30 minutes a day. Then 30 minutes of silence meditation praticing grand circulation visulization. I know this is alot of time out of your day. But im sure if you can do this daily along with your taichi practice that it may help you. I hope and pray that you have time and strength to make this happen daily for 1 year. Then it will become part of your life and your effort will be little once it becomes part of you and who you are. May the heavens and mother heal you. Remember eating healthy natural foods help. 3 bowls equaling 3 to 4 cups per bowl of food per day is plenty. Good luck. I hope and pray we all learn to heal and strengthen our minds and lives.
Good luck with this. It works.
If you don't mind me asking, has practicing tai chi affected your symptoms at all?
I am ( 55 year old female) suffering from Parkinson disease since last 16years.
Will Thai chi help in reducing stiffness and strengthening the muscles?
@@rekhadashputra5110 yes I have found it helps me in the morning moving and clears my head as well if I miss a day I feel it as one Parkinson’s to another wish you the best on your journey
my body and mind have never felt this peaceful in my life that I started crying of emotion by the last movements. Thank you so much for your instructions
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience!! May your future practices hold similar blessings. Enjoy.
This came across my recommended videos. I had an on the job injury 4 years ago. After several procedures, I am now disabled. My doctors have recommended low impact or waterobics. Insurance won't cover it and I can not afford it. I am going to give this a shot and give it my best. I will update this in 3 months. I hope this will speak to someone in my same predicament.
How is it going? I hope you are doing better
I hope things are going well. If they’re not we can try again 😀
Ok, I am so sorry to get back to you so late. So, with the help of a diet and the Tai Chi. I have gone from 324lbs to 278.3lbs. My pain is still bad! But with the weight I have lost, I have refueled the fire and drive i once had. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THE TUTORIAL!!!!!!
@@j.salazar2288 Hey! Good for you for sticking with it for so long, and congratulations on your weight loss! What a huge victory! I found this video through a friend, and I'm also going to be trying it out faithfully, not necessarily to lose weight, but more to help get my own fire back like you mentioned. I'm pretty listless these days. :( Thanks for updating, and sorry for commenting randomly - I was just very excited for you and your journey so far. Keep it up!
@@shelby965 Nothing to be sorry about! Im glad u r setting your goals! That is really Amazing news! My Main goal is to be 240lbs by December. I have kept up with gathering picture and on my Main goal. I will be doing my first TikTok about this journey! Try something like this! Look forward to CELEBRATING your soon to be Victory!!! Good Luck! I wish you the BEST OF LUCK!!!
I now think as tai chi (God's energy) moves with me I am being blessed. thank you now I will be able to see how Jesus moved through the law of His Spirit with you brother. cheers
My mother had Parkinsons disease and she did Tai Chi. It helped a lot. She was part of a research study of a kinesiology professor at our local university. I think there are great benefits for people with mobility issues. Thank you for your video
Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "learning powerful methods to build your Chi energy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my brother in law got great results with it.
As beginners, it is so important that we can understand the instructions given especially when lessons are not in person. We must know and listen to our bodies and you help with this. The details, patience, experience and wisdom comes through in your videos which speaks volumes to the master teaching it. I have gone through one video and look forward to infusing your teaching into my daily life. Thank you so much for taking the time to make and post your videos. I am so happy that I found you.
Thank you for your kind feedback!
I can barely pay attention to anything longer than five minutes. I had no idea an hour had passed by the end of this video. Beautifully spoken insights and instructions. Grateful I found this channel!
I'm starting to learn tai chi today and this is the perfect instructional video! The teacher is patient & has such a calming voice. Excellent job!
Right?! His voice is so peaceful.
Me too
Years ago I trained with Master Pei and his family at their center in NOVA. They are wonderful people and this brought back so much peace and memories.
Absolute best beginning instructor. My doctor recommended tai Chi for medical reasons and I feel blessed to have found you.
I almost never comment. But this is 100% exactly what I need.
I appreciate that you've taken the time to provide this to us all.
I am just starting Tai Chi and just watching these beautiful, graceful movements bring out such great emotion in me...there's no way to describe it..it's as if I've finally found what I've been searching for.
So peaceful and calming to get me in sync with my energy. Thank you instructor.
This is the best Tai Chi for beginners DVD I've come across. I'm a complete newbie and this teacher has such patience and such a calming voice that it is really pleasant to learn. It's a great program for people who lack coordination too as you have to go through multiple repetitions of the same moves. This is the only way to learn them. I'm now taking my training more seriously, sticking to Qi gong in the morning and Tai Chi in the afternoon. Just love it!
Love the calm meditative pace and detail. Thanks😊
Clear, precise, informative, and calming. A lovely course. Thank you.
Proper verbal intro; however, if you are ready to begin your practice, it starts at the 11:42 time stamp
Thanks for this instructional video!😊
I am so grateful for your calmness and generosity in providing such wonderful instruction and training. Thank you Christopher.
My legs/feet were frustrated and moving like the roadrunner but my arms/hands were happy and flowing like water. It's like I was trying to do this with two separate bodies. I finally had to turn my back to the TV and look over my shoulder a few times to get it down. Can't wait to do more of these videos!
I really appreciate the calm, peaceful way this is taught and the insights into the relationship of the movements and the flow of energy. Thanks so much for this video.
Well said
I do too. This increase the pleasure to do the exercises.
Beautiful teaching and series! Thank you, Master Pei. I am going to share with my clients as they will benefit greatly.
Thank you for Speacking English 🙏🤗😇💖✨
A master of the ornamental martial arts.
I use this to deal with anxiety and it does help. This is calming to me and I appreciate the content, thank you.
Beautiful, inspiring teacher. Pace is perfect for this beginner.
Just purchased this and the Quigong DVD. After decades of hard style Budo, I need something now that is still combative in its origins but works in a non-ballistic method to increase stamina, flexibility, clam spirit and increased muscle tone as well. Essential at my age now. Well done Pei Sifu.
This is perfect for me. I am a spaz. The instructor is very clear, he keeps it simple yet thorough in his one tip on better balance. His one tip on balance was a game changer for me. How did no fitness instructor ever, tell me about “two feet firmly planted on either side of the center line? Thank you for this!
We are all beginners at something all the time.
Your voice is so calming...thank you for this lesson 😊 x
Great video thank you, warm up exercises begin 11:40 and end at 23.30
The easiest and most enlightening teacher of Tai Chi I have encountered. Thank you so much for these videos.
Joana and Diana's dad! He is so sweet and nice! He is very fatherly. Mr. Pei is great!
Thank you for explaining from the beginning I am so grateful
His Techniques and presentation is very rewarding.
Thanks for the online course. I have had two shoulder surgeries, the rotator cuff and the biceps tendon were moved or stitched. Since yesterday I have been able to take off the orthosis. Rehab in 4 weeks. I try to do the exercises as best I can, although I can't really move my arms yet, I think the exercises are at a slow pace so I hope that I will regain mobility and strength more quickly. Thank you again and have a nice day everyone.
Thank you I really appreciate your teaching. Very clear and unhurried. I even benefited from the warm up . Many thanks .
thank you very much
It’s very good for me to start learning Tai Chi
I am grateful to hear that this is 1). a martial art, and 2). that this can help to balance my energy. It's gentle and the practice reminds me of kada I learned from Karate (of course different discipline - from Okinawa).
Thank you so much for this great video. This is one of the best teaching videos I’ve seen.
Appreciate that your introductions it very helpfully for stress and anxiety
Your excellent and clear introduction reassures me that I am on the right track at this time. Thank you
Thank you kindly for your video, wonderful detailed instruction and for your patience and calmness. I will practice this until I master these moves.❤️
Have not felt this relaxed in decades LOVE tAI cHI
Thank you Master for your explanation and tips for doing the correct movement, and detailing the good and the bad movements for the Proper Posture! I learned TaiChi in Guangzhou many years ago; and again briefly when I moved back to the U.S. I only wish that I had mastered all those little tips of a good posture as explained in this video; thus prevented my going into so much joint and muscle problems later on in life. My experience now in doing all the PT moves, is to eventually bring the body to what’s in TaiChi. So much wisdom with our ancestors of how to take care of our Body! Thank you for reviving the Art of TaiChi so patiently, SiFu (Master)! 🙌🙏
My aunt did tai chi in her eighties and I remember trying tai chi with her. She was so much stronger than I! I didn’t have patience for it when I was young, but will do it, now that I am older!
Also thank u for the calm and relaxing explanation.
Why I’m into Tai Chi started off a drama I had watched based on Tai Chi.
I was amazed how they present Tai Chi as a whole and what possibility’s it comes with.
Me self thanks who comment timestamps
11:40 Warmup
23:56 Start
Before this is awareness of awareness here is path to moksha.❤❤❤
Thank you thank you.
Wonderful calm teachings of Tai Chi… I will practice everyday. Much gratitude 🙏🏽
JUst started 4 days ago, doing warm-ups only so far. I can tell this is beneficial. My shoulders crunch when I do the single elbow rotations and the dual elbow rotations. But that tends to go away as i continue. My left shoulder joint hurts when i do the chest expansion. In general upper body exercises produce some discomfort in left shoulder and neck. But the exerices seem to help overall. Without getting winded, I feel calm and relaxed after ...
Tengo fatiga crónica cada vez más intensa desde hace más de dos décadas. El Tai Chi me da más esperanzas que cualquier medicamento. Así que lo voy a practicar, sin expectativas. Espero tener las fuerzas.
Muchas bendiciones del Universo para usted, maestro.

Doing this made me cry, in a good way
Even Your words are taking me in meditation. Thanks for your teaching.🙏
This has been such a blessing to me and my exercise my health and my spirit
Wow...I could listen to his voice forever...so soothing.
Thanks so much for sharing. I've just started tai chi videos and find this inspiring. Thank you.
Wonderful instructor Very careing person & motivational teacher.
I used to train with Coach Pei at his US Wushu Academy in VA but moved to BC Canada 5 years ago. A silver lining to Covid was Coach starting live online Zoom classes. His online classes are once again helping me rediscover my calm and how to integrate Taiji into daily life!
Oh! No wonder why he looked so familiar! I remember seeing as a judge at the wushu tournaments back in the days! So glad this is here to get me back into some wushu. Hope he is well!
wow, I am wrapped. I was looking for a suitable tutorial/class for years and could not find anything till today.
Thank you sooo much. Perfect way to teach/learn. Slow enough and heaps of repetitions. Well done guys.
I very like the different camera positions. I know others dont. I find it very helpful. Its just perfect for me. FINALLY... YEAH.
Everything falls in place at the right time.
Enjoy! So happy you are enjoying them.
Very detailed instructions, a good video to get into Tai Chi. I am glad I came back on the second day to try it again. I will work on it from now on, it got me ;)... And after only two days, I feel a difference in my posture and an overall rise in energy. This is quite amazing.
Beautifully explained...it is going to be my morning routine ..love it! Thank you Chris!!
Super
Thank you for explaining the benefits so thoroughly. I have been wanting to incorporate this into my regular weekly workout plan!
I studied Aikido a few years ago and learned many lessons. I can no longer work due to ill health and have always had an interest in learning Tai Chi. I love your easy and clear instructions, so you have a new subscriber and enthusiastic student. Many thanks and good wishes to you Sir, Les 🙏😊
Thank you for your comments, it means a lot to us to know we are helping people.
I am from Brasil: since 2014 I learn tai chi chuan with Sifu Christopher Pei (remote method). It is very very wonderful!... Thanks, Sifu Christopher Pei!...

Prof. Ms. Márcio Lourenço Garcia.
Very clear instructions. Thank you 🙏
Thank you very much. I did really appreciate this video. It s the first youtube tai-chi lesson that I 've really easily understood so far. Explaining moves slowly and step by step, paying attention to details and mistakes will lead your followers to do well in this discipline. I am not coordinate and with no balance but I managed to not stop the lessons 100 of times as usually do. After half of the video, I was already so proud of myself and I felt an inner strong energy coming out of my body that exploded in tears of joy. I don t know how to explain properly what happened, but thank you again.
I do it happened to me too! God Bless ❤💜💙💖💚💛😉😇
And me❤
Wonderful teachings ,not hurried ! Step by step . Repeated for the beginners to get to grips with learning the basics instead step with great practice . I like this master's teaching. Thank you@
This, is the art of waterbending. I will be making a scroll on these moves.
DVD ordered- thanks!
This is an amazing video...just the kind of teaching I need!
Master, I am but a humble pilgrim. Thank you for this saying of words. I learned it a "Breathe" and to discharge the vibration out from the toes to exit the forehead as in a river flows for example. Again, thank you.
I studied with Chris Pei and I can tell you he is an awesome teacher. He is very knowledgeable and his presentation is clear and practical.
Very calming thank you.
Thank you so much shifu pei, this tutorial is easy to follow, please continue making us great.
Wonderful. Pure love and healing. Thank you. ❣🥰
Master Pei, thank you for this wonderful tutorial. Easy to follow mechanics, with the addition of you helping us to understand the spiritual aspects at the same time. I'll be following your entire programme online.
I am here for Tai Chi beginner.i am happy to learn how you teach me from the warm up to the movement of tai chi. Thank you and very grateful to your teaching.
Greetings from Queensland, Australia. I just bought "Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body" for a friend who is a Qi Gong practitioner. I used to practice Tai Chi with different teachers and had a lot of disruptions, movement and travel and have only recently committed to resuming my practice. I looked up your name on the internet and am delighted to have the opportunity to learn from your videos. I want to understand the healing benefits of Tai Chi and Qi Gong as I was a nurse and a bodywork practitioner also. Thank you. You are doing the Tai Chi community a huge service.
Thank you! Enjoy
Thanks for videos with proper instructions, very useful in learning Thai chi
The best thing to learn you'll be healthier and more energy
Iam so deeply grateful for this video. He is the best and most patient teacher. I definitely want to learn Tai Chi. Always wanted to but have not found the proper teacher. Thank you so much for this video!
I am so impressed by the way you are givening instructions for learning Tai Chi. I want to learn this form of art and you are just the right teacher for me.Thank you.
So happy your vid popped up first. Very calming, easy and works! I had done some water Tai Chi but it was long ago. Thank you for this video. I will be following your instruction it every day. Blessing to you.
I really love this video, I am not the person to do Tau Chi exercise, but after I watch this excellent instructor with a clear voice to explain every single process for our beginner. Thank you so much and make me doing the Tao Chi every morning now. I enjoy it and more stronger in my body now.
I like this exercise viďio . It is well lucidly explain in detailed or teaches a how to move step by step in Tai chi. Thanks.
He truly is a wonderful teacher.
I started doing tai chi a long time ago because i liked the way it looked, and liked the chinese uniform you wear with it, started doing it, they talked about chi, and holding the ball, and feeling a tingling feeling in your hands and in your body, i thought they were nuts! I said to myself ok, people are crazy. I started doing it, kept at it about 2 years. I started to feel it though! Tingling in my hands and that warmth all over and it grew! Maybe just because I was moving I was thinking. I just kept doing it, and breathe and do what they say, it was awesome. I was strong to, strong legs.
love this Tai Chi for Beginners best instructions and well prepare inspiration
