The ancient art of tai chi is often described as “moving meditation” because it stimulates your mind, body, and spirit. The simplified 24-posture form is taught and demonstrated in detail by Master Helen Liang in short, easy-to-follow sections. This popular form is shown clearly from multiple angles, with step-by-step instructions. With this 6-minute tai chi form, you’ll feel stronger and more energized. Tai chi is known for improving balance and keeping the mind sharp and positive. This tai chi form is excellent for beginners at any age, those who want a low-impact whole-body exercise, and those with limited time. The short forms are based upon traditional Yang-style Tai Chi movements, which have roots in the ancient Chinese martial arts. "Taiji Chang Quan" existed in many variations, and eventually evolved into Taijiquan. Other forms of the same era such as "Heavenly-Inborn Style", "Nine Small Heavens", and "Acquired Kung Fu" also show similarities to what later became Taijiquan. The principles of softness, sticking, adhering, and using the opponent's own momentum against himself were established in these precursory martial styles. Bodhidharma's teaching at the Buddhist Shaolin Temple around 550AD, which detailed the theory of using the mind to lead the Qi to energize the physical body, is widely considered the origin of all Internal Martial Arts, including Tai Chi. Helen Liang is a gold medal winning grandchampion martial artist, and daughter of a true martial arts legend. Grandmaster Liang, Shou-Yu's martial arts ancestry originated five generations ago. He started his traditional Emei kungfu and Qigong training with his grandfather in 1948. Grandmaster Liang then sought out other renowned masters and other styles from Shaolin and Wudang. In the early sixties, Grandmaster Liang began his study and research in the few major styles of Taiji such as Yang, Chen, Sun, and Wu style, Buddhist Esoteric Qigong, and Taoist Qigong. Grandmaster Liang has many times been a gold medalist in Wushu and Taiji competitions held in Sichuan province. The Liang family lives and teaches in Vancouver, Canada.

User Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise the app for detailed, clear instruction and strong teaching from Master Helen Liang. Content is well-structured into sections and is priced affordably for the depth offered. However, recurring drawbacks include difficulty with left/right orientation, a paywall that limits free content, and occasional video download/buffering problems. Overall it’s a solid, well-structured teaching tool for beginners who are willing to pay, with some usability caveats.

Pros

Detailed, clear, step-by-step instruction with thorough demonstrations.
High-quality instructor (Master Helen Liang) who teaches with a gentle, effective style.
Good value for money; comprehensive content available for about $9.99.
Well-structured learning format with sections/short videos that make it easy to review and build the form.

Cons

Left/right orientation is easy to lose track of, making it hard to follow the movements for some users.
Paywall with limited free content; most lessons require purchase after a brief intro.
Video download and buffering issues affect usability (download failures, streaming quality).

I am totally blind. I learned the 10 form several years ago. She is a pretty good describer. However, she doesn’t tell you rights and left sometimes, so it is easy to get lost. If another blind person tries this, definitely have sided help to begin with.

Much respect to Helen, thank you for the videos and the app. I think it would be helpful to have the mirror view demo installation in the app (like the DVD has) I get lost trying to follow along and mirror myself!

Her father was involved with the creation of this 24 form in the 70s in China. This is the most accurate teaching of the 24 form you will find. Great traditional tai chi video lessons, w incredible step by step detail, broken down in small sections to learn perfectly. Over 2 hours for $9.99usd, normally $30 on DVD.
