In my recent cruise to China, a short version of the Tai Chi was taught onboard. The teacher is Master PW Kam, DDS. He is American-Chinese and a dental surgeon for 30 yrs in the USA. Now retired and a guest lecturer onboard teaching Tai Chi and Asian histories. Both courses are taught in English targeting us retirees onboard who are mostly old, dumb, totally unfit and very much uninterested. Nevertheless, the Tai Chi class was extremely effective and my wife and I learned the basics in only 6 x 45 min lectures. We continued practicing it at home and were able to somehow \u201cmaster\u201d the whole 14 Tai Chi moves. Proud of ourselves!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I took a video on Kam\u2019s demonstration in class. This Tai Chi for dummies has 14 simple moves and takes only 3.59 min:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
