International Master Tai Chi instructor David-Dorian Ross begins this course from The Great Courses by diving right into demonstrating Tai Chi in action. He then gives viewers a brief introduction as to what Tai Chi is and how it started, coming out of the Taoist tradition. He then demonstrates the Yang-style 40-movement form that he will be teaching throughout the course. You’ll definitely want to watch this lecture, rather than just listen to it, as it’s mostly an intro to Tai Chi through its physical display.
