Good to know.
Do I need any experience?
No. The path starts with the basic stances and builds week by week.
How much space and equipment do I need?
A few square meters are enough. You train with your body weight, no equipment.
Can I switch my fighter later?
Yes. Your camp stays, your fighter doesn’t have to. You unlock more fighters through exams, streaks and the league.
What if I miss a week?
Nothing bad. If you don’t finish a week, you repeat it. Only after more than ten days off does the path go back one week.
What’s the minimum age?
Qi Rise is for ages 16 and up. Listen to your body, and if something hurts, talk to a doctor.
When and where is Qi Rise coming?
Soon to the App Store for iPhone and iPad, with an Apple Watch app. In English and German.
Your first stance awaits.
We will let you know as soon as Qi Rise is in the App Store. One email at launch, plus the occasional news from the temple.
