SCIENTIFIC APPROACH
This app uses a technique for teaching tai chi that has been used by Master Li now for over 30 years. He has found that students who learn the 18 qi gong (or breathing meditation) set before tai chi actually learn the tai chi much better and have a stronger understanding of body mechanics and flow in the movement.
The app follows a scientific progression of
1) short warm up
2) breathing qi gong exercises
3) tai chi basics
4) short tai chi practice forms
5) and finally the 24 step Yang style form
Eight levels give a seamless progression to learning the 24 step tai chi form. After going through all 8 levels, you can choose your own training regimen to suit your schedule. Practice and learn at your own pace any time, anywhere.
CUSTOMIZED TRAINING & PROGRESS TRACKING
There is an 8 level progression that teaches basic postures, breathing and fundamentals of tai chi. After unlocking the 8 levels, you can tailor the training to your own needs and skill level. The more you use the app, the more refined your technique becomes. The eight levels give a seamless progression to learning the 24 step tai chi form.

Latest reviews of Taichi Temple app for iPhone and iPad
the downloads are overcomplicated and the app doesnt work at all
Im so disappointed. The ap freezes on my iPad. Basically, I briefly see Master Lis outline on Level 1 and then it goes away. The image and outline of an iPhone, freezes and there is no way to back out of it except to shut it down. Happened every time I try to use it, so it wasnt just a single bad day.
This is a really unique way to learn tai chi. Master Li is such a clear mover, very easy to follow, and the narration helped me a lot to coordinate my breathing with the movements. This is the best app for tai chi I have found.
Im kind of a klutz and didnt want to join a gym class. Now I have a new morning routine and I feel calmer and more balanced throughout the day. Thanks!
Great spin on tai chi training with the motion sensor. It actually helps me focus and stay with Master Lis movement. Cool and innovative.
