Tai Chi: An Exercise in Anti-aging
Tai chi, the choreographed meditative exercises that have been a healing art in China for thousands of years, is practiced by over 100 million people worldwide and owes its popularity to a simple fact - it's enjoyable and it makes you stronger.
Recent studies confirm that when practiced regularly - 30 minutes, three times a week - it has numerous health benefits including: increased energy, decreased stress, an immunity boost against viruses, lowered blood pressure, better cognitive functioning, increased joint mobility, an improved cholesterol profile, relief from fibromyalgia symptoms, and even a better night's sleep.
It also increases leg muscle strength and provides better balance and posture. Perhaps the best part is that tai chi is a gentle exercise that can be performed by anyone at any age.
Please can some one put in touch with Master Lee Tak Yin. My e-mail is lungujon@yahoo.com.

The teacher here is Master Li Deyin, "China's Best Judge". This is a part of the instructional video. He has several great instructional vids. Master Li Deyin played a major role in the creation of the 48-form taijiquan and this 42-form. His uncle is the creator of the simplified 24-form taijiquan and 32-form taiji sword. His grandfather studied under Sun Lutang and other great masters. Yes, the presentation here is excellent! Watched it countless times.

Compare to "Tai Chi 42 Forms Part 1 to 4 - Total Demo by Miss Ng Ah Mui" just here in "related videos", another 42 vid from hockkeah with Miss Ng Ah Mui (is this right spelled?). She's very good! (and a good minute slower ;-)
