Some Tai Chi practitioners say that it is fine and others observe it as a bit sacrilegious. In this regard, it is also believed that there is no chance to take lessons of Tai Chi discipline from a DVD by the masters and avid students.
This is because there is a wisdom taught to you by a master during the Tai Chi discipline which is supposed to be a spiritual practice. There are many schools which consider that it is very easy to learn the Tai Chi discipline from a Tai Chi DVD.

New Year’s Resolutions, Aerobic Exercise Machines, and Real Motivation
December 30th, 2007 by admin
Was on another blog today and saw an estimate that somewhere between 10 and 60 % of people that make New Year's resolutions actually manage to keep them. From what I've seen, I'd say that sixty percent number is kinda high, but maybe I just hang around with failures 
But this is the time of the year when it seems like everybody is joining a gym, buying an aerobic exercise machine or saying they're going to quit smoking. I think the reason why so many fail to keep their resolutions is because they're not really motivated to change - they just think that because it's New Years, they're supposed to do something, and they know that smoking or carrying around extra weight isn't good for them. The problem, I think, is that after a few years of half-hearted attempts, they become convinced that they have no willpower and give up. If they just waited until they were actually motivated by a desire to improve (rather than the calendar), they'd probably have a lot better chance at success.
