Is a video available off line for Tai Chi?
While there are videos available, any serious student or teacher will tell you they are of very little use except in combination with actual instruction. They can show you what a form might look like, but TaiChi is an "internal" martial art. This means, among other things, that most of the important stuff is happening inside where the video can't see. To practice effectively, you have to learn what it feels like when done properly, not how it will look. Also, bear in mind there are many styles of TaiChi, each somewhat different from the other. Generic TaiChi videos are likely to be Yang style, but Chen, Wu, or Sun style might serve you better, depending on your age, build, and goals. There are over 400 of them listed on Amazon.com. Just do a search there for "Tai Chi VHS" or "Tai Chi DVD"
