TAIJI BALL QIGONG
Body Strength and Health Through A Traditional Tai Chi PracticeYMAA Boston, Boston, MA / August 13th-14th, 2011, 9:00am - 5:00pm
In China, Taiji balls have commonly been used in both external and internal training. The original name of this training is “Yin Yang Taiji Ball Qigong Training". Though the training methods vary from one style to another, the main purposes remain the same. They are: 1. To strengthen the physical torso, especially the spine, 2. To condition muscles, 3. To learn to use the mind to lead Qi to the physical body for power manifestation and energy.SEMINAR/WORKSHOP PROGRAM
In Taijiquan, Taiji Ball training used to be one of the major methods of training. However, due to its secrecy, few people know about it. The health benefits of practicing Taiji Ball are significant, due to its emphasis on the conditioning of the torso, prevention of injury, and rejuvenation of the spine. The training is done with soft movements, that not only condition the physical body, but also train the coordination and harmonization of the mind and Qi.WHO IS TEACHING?
YMAA instructors Bill Buckley is a Taijiquan practitioner and certified YMAA Qigong Instructor under Dr. Yang and will be leading the seminar discussion and exercises.WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Everybody is welcome to attend this Taiji Ball Qigong Seminar. Attendance is limited so register soon. This seminar will benefit:- Martial artists of all styles.
- All YMAA students (Taiji and Shaolin) who would like to refine their Taiji Ball techniques.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
If you have a Taiji Ball, you may bring it, but we may require you to train only over matted areas. It is preferred that students first practice with a sports ball, like a basketball, soccer ball, kickball, etc. A ball is not required for the training, but it does help to better grasp the feeling. We do have a limited supply of sports balls for use at the school. We recommend that you bring loose practice clothing (T-shirt and pants) and a pair of indoor shoes unless you prefer working in bare feet.TRAVELING TO BOSTON
