How Do I Get a Tai Chi Video for My iPad?
Tai Chi -- often referred to as Tai Chi Chuan, or written as Taijiquan -- is a Chinese martial art that emphasizes relaxation and softness. Instructional Tai Chi videos are very popular, but the online iTunes Store does not typically supply documentary or non-fiction videos. However, YouTube provides a prolific repository of Tai Chi videos that you can watch on your iPad using the native YouTube application that is built into the device.
