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.
