This way I did not need to "flip" the motion in my head. When the right arm goes up in the vid, My right arm goes up..Easy way for me....YMMV..
I was not into the marshal aspect of it, just for health but they are intertwined...

My local hospital teaches several classes in Tai Chi for Arthritis by Dr Lam. Very few of us students had arthritis but took the classes for overall health. There are a number of introductory videos online by Dr. Lam himself at youtube. And there are a number of his certified instructors who have uploaded videos to youtube. I can highly recommend him.
