This is Dr Paul Lam, I find he is very friendly. He demonstrated to the mass of people a combined forms of Tai Chi for Arthritis, Diabetes and Osteoporosis. Although the routine was short and seem easy to do, it was created based on the basic principles of Tai Chi.
The experience of going through the workout was pretty amazing! Few things here I'd like to share:
1. As I went through the process of the routine, I did experience that i was carrying a kind of "Qi" or "energy" was maintained throughout.
I could remember some of the forms were "open and close hands", "single whip", "fair lady working at shuttle" and "brush knee twist steps". I would believe people who had practised Tai Chi for some time could understand what I'm saying here.
2. The forms may seem short and easy but when performed, I could feel my legs the weight transfer and exertion for moments, the turning of the body on the waist and joints. These movements could be simple and easy for healthy people, but for people in medical condition, these simple movements could be a challenge but yet gentle to help them build up and strengthen their joints, muscles and body
Look at the picture below, so many people participated in the mass workout, about 2000 people I guess.
