Yang Tai Chi for Beginners 2&3, from YMAA Publication Center, is an Android instructional app teaching Parts 2 and 3 of the Yang-style long form. It delivers guided, instructor-led video lessons that let learners practice at their own pace, with clear demonstrations and paced sequences. The course targets beginners, martial artists, and adults seeking low-impact exercise, offering a portable way to develop balance, posture, and mindful movement.

The app compiles focused, follow-along lessons that cover the second and third sections of the Yang-style 108 long form, presented by Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming. Instruction comes from a direct Yang-family lineage and the production emphasizes careful demonstration and explanation, giving learners access to a traditional approach to form practice without attending in-person sessions.

What the app teaches and who leads the instruction

How practice in the app supports physical and meditative learning

Lessons emphasize moving meditation and low-impact motion to build balance, strength, and vitality; content is paced so students repeat slow segments and refine transitions. The presentation encourages attention to posture and breathing rather than fast exercise intervals, which helps learners develop technical awareness and a steady practice rhythm over time.

Is the app appropriate for beginners and independent learners?

The app is designed for beginners and for martial arts students who want a methodical, traditional sequence to study independently; it requires no special equipment or partners. Content is optimized for phones and tablets and includes options to access lessons without an active connection, making it convenient for daily practice at home or outdoors.

How progress is managed and where the format limits classroom use

Progress tracking centers on a resume feature that returns learners to the last-played point, which supports ongoing self-practice but does not provide graded assessments or teacher dashboards. User feedback highlights the clarity and depth of instruction, and the app functions as a compact alternative to DVDs or in-person classes for solitary study rather than formal classroom management.

  • Pros

    • Instruction led by Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming with Yang-family lineage
    • Over two and a half hours of follow-along long-form content

Bottom Line

Who benefits from this app, with one important caveat

The app is a focused option for self-directed learners and martial arts students who want methodical, traditional Yang-style practice and technical depth. The developer recommends mastering Part 1 before attempting these sections, so beginners should confirm foundational skills first. Its structure rewards steady repetition and attention to alignment rather than rapid gains, making it best for deliberate daily practice.

Tai Chi Chuan is a kind of moving meditation with ancient roots in Chinese martial arts. Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming is a world acclaimed master of Tai Chi and Qigong and he personally guides you through the complete series of Tai Chi movements. Dr. Yang's tai chi lineage can be traced back to the Yang family through Grandmaster Kao, Tao () and his teacher Yue, Huanzhi (), an indoor disciple of Yang, Chengfu ().

In the videos, Master Yang will teach you Parts Two and Three of the Yang Style Tai Chi form. It is recommended that you Master Part 1 of the form first, which is also available in a 2.5 hour video app.

Master Yang also explores the Song of Taijiquan, explaining the deeper meaning of Tai Chi practice.

Whether you are a beginner or a Tai Chi master already, these amazing exercises offer the perfect combination of relaxation and full-body exercise. You'll enjoy reduced stress, a stronger immune system and a deeper awareness of breath and body coordination.

Tai Chi, or Taiji, is short for Tai Chi Chuan, or Taijiquan, which translates from Chinese to Grand Ultimate fist. Tai Chi is an internal-style Chinese martial art that can be traced back to the Chen family, the Daoists at Wudang mountain and ultimately to Shaolin Temple.

"The Harvard Medical School Guide to Tai Chi" says: "regular practice leads to more vigor and flexibility, better balance and mobility and a sense of well-being. Tai Chi also has a beneficial impact on the health of the heart, bones, nerves and muscles, immune system and the mind."

When practiced slowly for health purposes, Tai Chi is a type of Qigong. Qi-Gong means "energy-work". Qigong (chi kung) is the ancient art of building the body's Qi (energy) to a higher level and circulating it throughout the body for rejuvenation and health.

Qigong increases the quantity of energy in the body and improves the quality of your circulation through energy pathways, known as meridians. Qigong is sometimes called "acupuncture without needles." Qigong can be effective in helping people with insomnia, stress-related disorders, depression, back pain, arthritis, high blood pressure, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, bioelectric circulatory system, lymphatic system and digestive system.

The slow, relaxed Tai Chi movements are widely recognized for their health benefits, improving your balance, strengthening the internal organs, muscles, joints, spine and bones and developing abundant energy.

Thank you for downloading our free app! We are striving to make the best possible video apps available.
