10 Tai Chi Moves for Beginners - 14 Minute Daily Taiji Routine 

I just got released from a psyche ward for depression suicidal thoughts. I started doing Tai Chi just today and I'm already starting to feel a little better.

I've been teaching Tai Chi for the last 8 years. I wish I could teach my students at such a beautiful location. Great video.

Who else is doing this during quarantine ? :D

Hi! I am pianist and these exercises are the perfect warm up for my hands, the entire body and the mind!! Thank you very much!!

Your Tai Chi lessons for beginners are quite useful. I am 59 years old and have started practicing basic Tai Chi for a few minutes daily. It is about a month only and I feel more energetic whole day. Thanks a lot for the good work !

I felt like a pro waterbender, thank you! Jokes aside, it was really enjoyable :)

So i tried this video as my very first Tai Chi experience (or anything in this realm).Was easy to get in sync, and suddenly strange and deep feelings start to surface. That was so unexpected!! I guess I will continue with this journey. Thanks for showing me.

Practiced Tai Chi for the first time today and used this video. I feel great! My mind is clear. Struggled with a few of the postures but after a few repetitions of them they began to feel natural. Looking forward to doing this every day from now on.

Omg he is waterbending

This guy is inspirational in the sense that he gives beginners motivation to practise tai chi. But to be honest, I can point out quite a number of flaws from his tai chi (not that I wanna criticise him or anything, but I believe we should all practise it the right way): 1. At 6:25, posture 5, you shouldn't be bending your knees to the point that it overshoots your toes when doing the "bow stance". This will cause more stress on your knees. Also, hands should be pushed out from the waist level instead of the chest (6:23). 2. At 8:38, posture 7, it should be the movement of the waist that brings the body to face from the front to the side rather than using the shoulders to guide the movement. Tai chi is about generating motion and strength from the bottom half of the body. Just like when you're punching in the tai chi way, strength should be generated from the waist and not the shoulders/arm itself. 3. At 10:10, posture 8, the bottom of the left palm should be pushing directly above (like 1cm?) the right palm (that is facing up). This is supposed to be a self defense move. Imagine when someone grabs your right wrist. This moves allows you to "push" or "rub off" his hands off you. Cheers!

i have the feeling i watch katara doing some waterbending moves

This is great. Great for meditation. Releasing built up stress and winding down from a long hard day

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and was looking for an easy and calming workout, this was perfect! I think I'll continue to use this video and maybe a few of your others! Thanks you posting!

So glad I found this video for my daily practice...I can't do yoga right now due to a strained heel muscle and this is an awesome addition/substitute. So grounding and centering! Thank you Jake.

I like how you perform each form several times at a reasonable pace. That makes this video so much easier to follow than others that only do one rep of each form, then progress through the rest. Thanks Jake!!

Thank you very much! I have searched for Tai Chi in my city in Brazil and have not found yet, and you have brought it to me! I am very gratefull!

Jake is very inspiring in his physical arts, healthy vegan eating and amazing edible garden techniques. Great energy. Well done.

My God Jake....You making it look like is very easy. I'm a 61 years old woman never done Tai Chi I practice it almost every day I Love IT! Thank You

I sent my co-workers this link for a 10 day, 10 minute Tai Chi challenge while working at home. Its a great way to start my day!

I don’t know how I have not found this practice sooner. Thank you, this came so natural to my body, mind and spirit. Going to look more into this practice

This was so beautiful! Thank you so much for the lovely energy I can't wait to get started! :D

I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I used to swim for my exercise. Now with pools closed, I needed something else. I really appreciated that you brought nature to me, even in quarantine!

Beautiful scenery, great moves, easy to follow, doesn't talk so very serene, and Jake gives off very positive energy. Love this and thank you for making it available on RU-vid.

This was my first time doing Tai Chi, but it most certainly won’t be the last! I actually feel relaxed and clear headed for the first time in a very long time. Thank you for your awesome video!!

Liked this, but I needed your verbal narrative as a beginner. The scenery was beautiful!

I want to go there! Beautiful scene for my very first intro to Tai Chi too. Thank You!

I am new to Tai Chi and this video is perfect for me. Very slow and effective. Thanks Jake

Thank you so much for these instructions. I just began practicing and I am doing it in front of my kids so that eventually they catch up and start doing it with me. i did notice that they became calmer as they glimpsed at me following your exercises. I feel so renewed. Thank you again!

Thank you! I want to explore more! Nam myoho renge kyo 🙏🏽

Wow what a beautiful area. I had no idea the bottom of the Grand Canyon was so wonderful- it’s not overly crowded or industrialized either

Thank You for this wonderful Tai Chi session. Energized for the day ahead.

This always helps me when I can't sleep. Doing these exercises really calms me down.

Number 3 took me by surprice. Very difficult to master. I had to slow it down and rewatch several times, and I still need to learn certain details, like foot work and hand positioning. Very inspiring video none the less! Thanks a lot!

Thank you! I feel wonderful. Beautiful deep breathing.

thx for sharing this movement. I've been looking for more of tai chi movement lately and now i can try a new one..

Even watching this video I feel calmer. Incredible. im considering taking up Tia Chi

A nice tai chi moves jake mace Tq for uploding...!!

The BEST Tai Chi Class Yet. Thank you.

I used your workout as an alternative to my harder workouts. The last few days I worked the heavy bag and lifted heavy weights, so I needed something softer for my rest day, today. Your workout actually helped with my deep breathing and posture. Thank you for this.

Very nice qigong. And wow what a beautiful scene! Thank you for bringing us there with you.

Im going to school now and i saw this and im so relaxed now Jake. Thank you

The way you move energetically is beautiful.. physical as well of course. thank you for your grace

In awe of the grace. So beautiful.

Even Bruce Lee practiced and was well versed in Tai Chi!

This is lovely - i started Tai Chi a few years ago when i was house-bound due to an illness- i am so grateful to generous people that will share on RU-vid -because there would be no other way for people like me to learn. Not only did the Tai Chi help me recover from the illness; but I believe it also leant strength and helped in other ways that i was then able to go further and do other physical activities that i hadn't in 14 years or more. Now it's winter and VERY COLD - and i miss being active. Thank you for this to get me going again!

Oh my God, I love this and wish it were longer. The added bonus for me was the beautiful flowing water as it relaxes me. I feel so good - thank you

The movements remind me of bending the elements. Very relaxing and you feel energy flowing in your body. 😉

I love this, well done. Is there a way to preview your Tai Chi DVD?

wow cool music and waterfalls and a hike too.the mountains and water made me wanna go exploring/hiking.

A heartfelt Thank you Sifu.

Nice water!

1:30 2:50 4:00 6:20 12:10 Thank me later

i started watching and doing all his beginner tai chi videos and I am hooked!

You are so mesmerizing to watch. Thank you so much.

Great video although I to would of liked to see what your feet & for a beginner a verbal instruction's can also be useful. But I'll keep watching to learn more thanks :))

what a beautiful video 😍

Thank You for the Clear Explanation

Thank you Jake! I got it per my doctor's advice...very easy moves..

You are so effortlessly exquisite. This video gave me wings. Thank you immensely for introducing me to Tai Chi, & for sharing your soul with the world. I am beyond incandescently inspired.

Anyone know the music used in this video? I love it and want to meditate using it if possible.

Thank you I've been wanting to do more postures . You're right being in nature is the best!

I can't wait to start! Thank you so much for posting this!!!!

I liked this practice Before it had advertisements I couldn’t skip. Advice: Add those to the beginning and end of your videos, not in the middle. Edit: Until then I’ll practice else where.

IM READING ALOT OF COMMENTS SOME GOOD SOME BAD WELL ALOT NEGATIVE. ..OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT YANG STYLE SHORT OR LONG FORM..AND WHO CARES IF HE IS MAKING IT UP..AT LEAST HE IS PRACTICING TAI CHI..HE IS CONSTANTLY IMPROVING HIMSELF AND ACTUALLY THE MOVEMENTS ARE TAI CHI JUST NOT ANY KNOWN EXISTING FORM...AND YES IT IS IMPERATIVE TO KNOW WHAT THE FEET ARE DOING. .BUT IT'S A GREAT VIDEO FOR BEGINNERS OR ADVANCED STUDENTS. ..LISTEN, IF YOU ALL ARE TRUE MARTIAL ARTIST. ..WHY THEN WOULD YOU NOT CONGRATULATE JAKE ON EXCELLING? WOULD YOU ALL TREAT YOUR STUDENTS LIKE YOUR TRYING TO TREAT JAKE WITH CONTEMPT AND DISPARAGING COMMENTS? REALLY, IS THAT WHAT TYPE OF INSTRUCTOR YOU ALL ARE...OFFERING DISCOURAGEMENT INSTEAD OF ENCOURAGEMENT. ..I IMPLORE YOU TO CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE. ..WITH LOVE I WILL ASK SEE THROUGH THE EYES OF YOUR MIND AND LEARN.

thank you jake you helped feel better with your relaxing Tai Chi

My physical education class just did your video (we are in virtual instruction) and it was AMAZING!!!!!

the Iron Fist brought me here

Sir, if you teach an art that you don't master, you ought to tell your students first. Don't get me wrong, the video and the setting are beautiful and inspiring. If it makes people want to delve deeper into tai chi, then great! But I think people have the right to know what they're being sold here. This is not tai-chi. These are relaxation techniques based on a facsimile of tai-chi. Surely you have the right to teach, but definitely not to fool people. Peace.

Thank you! Just love these videos.

B E A U T I F U L ... my first day to go to a Tai Chi class ... so excited. A new step in my journey!

I hope it's okay, I did this from my room!

What Happens to Our Consciousness When We Die?

Beautiful routine in the beautiful place! Thank you, Teacher!🙏

Printing the instructions on the side instead of speaking them was a great idea; it helped keep the video calm and enjoyable. Thanks, Jake, I enjoyed this.

who else inspires from the last airbender

thank god for .5 speed on youtube

You are amazing! Thank you for putting this up so people can learn about this beautiful practice!

The Lesson Begins at 00:32

Grandmaster YC Chiang would admonish you to sink your body when your arms go up and raise your body when your arms go down. I know this is for beginners, but you should practice the principle automatically in your practice even when demonstrating for beginners. You needn't tell them what you are doing at first. Also automatic is moving your body back as your arms extend and forward as your arm pull in. It is difficult for me to watch the video when you do not demonstrate basic principles. Otherwise I like the scenery, music and movements.

Thank you so much. I am on a pain reprogramming course and the homework was to do some tai chi.I am so glad I found you. Beautiful moves and beautiful scenery. I’m a bit sore, but the only way is hun. Thanks again 🤗

Thank you this is just soothing I’m 44 and my health needs this so much 🙏🏻

All the poses together are named “Crazy White Man Does Mime In Waterfall”

This is gymnastics ... looks nice but the guy hasn't received fundamental tai chi training... weird to call it that and even sell dvd's

Mr. Mace, Thank you for making this video. Ever since I discovered it (at least 3-4 weeks back), I've worked out to this video almost every night. I've started losing weight: my coworkers even noticed! Having a relaxing, easy-going exercise routine with this video has really helped with my stress levels as I go to work and school full-time. Thank you so much and keep producing wonderful videos! I wish I lived in Arizona so I could frequent your school.

I had the chance to take classes in the past but didn't have time anymore. Your videos helped me reintegrate tai chi in my daily routine. Thank you for sharing your lessons.

Fakemace

His Ming men is constantly closing. and if You wach closely you'll see that he moves his arms prior to his core... nice music and scenery aside, This man doesn't even know the basics of tai chi... don't be fooled by this

Feeling great after long time. Thank you.

This was amazing and peaceful and what a beautiful setting!! I've never done Tai Chi before but will try it now. And the eye candy here.....WOW!!!!!

fake jake is starting to teach again

I am sorry, but you should have not show or teach taichi, go to find some good teacher and start over, even the basics you are doing are wrong. Its really important to have teacher, a good one and study for life with him, because he will teach you to be humble and give you real perspective. If you have learnt your taichi at some school, maybe you left too early to start your school or to teach and your teacher should never allow you to do so. You in your ignorance, are making, this awesome and respectful kung fu style with great history, a parody, a circus, a joke! Please stop, at least don't go online, or go do yoga or call what ever you do some other name then Taichi. thank you

Thanks Jake. I don't get all the dislikes. I'm 76 and can keep up. It feels so good. What a gift to us. A long bow to you.

Five years ago I started Tai Chi. As a result I am still alive and active at 93! Keith Cody

Hello, i have just finished my degree at uni, so after three years ive been putting some weight on, even though i do the really intense workouts, i absolutely adore using tai chi to wind down, it is also such a peaceful and healthy art and i just wanted to thank you for this video. Many many thanks and blessings

been doing this routine every day for a week now i feel so much better

Love this!!

What a wonderful place to do Tai Chi, thank you❤️👍😍

I am just staring my Tai Chi journey. There are no Tai Chi classes where I live in Colombia, so I checked out your video today and really like it... its great the way you not only demontrate the move clearly, but also explain the name and intention. Thank you!
