It is possible to learn tai chi from video, although it’s easier with a live teacher. Since there are a lot of people who don’t have access to a good teacher I’m working on a format for on-line classes that should be ready within a month or so. There are other places to learn through video but I’m not aware of much for regular classes, which I think make it easier to learn. Videos tend to throw a lot at new students, who the find it difficult to grasp it all at once.

I do have a simple video you can take a look at here: http://www.camptaichi.com/unique-benefits-of-tai-chi-in-a-surprisingly-simple-5-minute-routine/ . It’s a short form done without the legwork so it can be done in a small space while still getting the benefits of tai chi. It’s also a good primer video for learning.

Good luck,
John
