Taiji Ball Qigong is a subset of classical Yang Taijiquan that
utilizes a ball (beginners use rubber, and intermediate students
use wood). The training can strengthen the torso, rejuvenate the
spine, condition the muscles, increase physical power by using
the mind to lead the qi, and enhance pushing hands. Practiced
regularly the soft movements will greatly enhance the
coordination and harmonization of the body and mind, leading to
efficiency of action. In addition to the health benefits of Taiji Ball
Qigong, it provides the best "root" training that an individual can
get without a partner and all of the exercise patterns are
designed to enhance one's combat experience.

Whole body movement with coordination of the mind and breath
is emphasized throughout the system. A minimum of space is
required for practice.

Taiji Ball Qigong Intensive Level 1 training will include:

* Breathing Methods
* Vertical Circling
* Horizontal Circling
* Vertical Rotating
* Horizontal Rotating
* Wrapping & Coiling

which introduces more sensitivity drills and the martial
applications of this little-known practice.

"Seize and Control" is known for its effectiveness in restraining
opponents through its techniques of locking joints or
muscles/tendons, thereby setting up the next step of strikes,
cavity presses and other potential damage to opponents. You
will learn to defend against grabs, holds and chokes, and to
immobilize assailants with effective subduals and controls.

Minimum force is used, relying instead on superior knowledge of
leverage, momentum, angulation, redirection, pressure points
and joint-lock methods.

Dr. Yang is famous for his Qinna techniques. Many have studied
his books and videotapes. However, to grasp the subtle
techniques of Qinna you must learn and feel the technique
directly from an expert.
