Recensione

“Taiji Ball Qigong should be learned by everyone interested in Taijiquan. The patterns taught in this video are an integral part of taijiquan movement. Persons already skilled in Taijiquan will recognize the basic types of movement covered in this video. Dr. Yang explains the difference between various types of Taiji Balls, which vary in size, weight and material. Valuable information is provided to guide the student in choosing the correct type of Taiji Ball. Five different types of Taiji Balls are shown and discussed, illustrating the good and bad points of each type. Rubber ball - Good for beginners. No strain on lower back muscles due to low weight. Wood ball - good for Taijiquan and useful for developing internal Qi power. Usually made of two halves glued together, due to the difficulty of making a ball from one piece of wood. Glue can be a problem when sending Qi due to being a different material than the wood. Rock/Marble ball - used by Shaolin practitioners and useful in developing external Qi power. More difficult to move Qi through this type of ball. Best to start with a small ball and then move up to a larger ball after developing more strength. –Google
