Budovideos.com - Taiji Ball Qigong DVD 1 by Yang Jwing Ming

Deepen Your Tai Chi Training with Taiji Ball Qigong. Taiji Ball training is common practice in both external and internal martial arts in China. It can strengthen the torso, condition the muscles, and increase physical power by using the mind to lead the Qi. In Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan), Taiji Ball Qigong training was once a major training tool to enhance Pushing Hands ability. However, due to its secrecy, fewer and fewer people have learned it. Today the art of Taiji Ball training is almost unknown.

Wuji breathing
Yongquan breathing

This authoritative guide can be used with any style of Taijiquan, and it is a great way for anyone to energize the body, raise the spirit, and deepen your understanding of Qigong and Taiji.

This is an excellent overview of taiji ball training. Very easy to pick up from the disc. However the format is very repetitive for each move. They are all shown in stationary, then moving forward and back, then in a circle pattern. This can seem a bit repetitive but there is good detail shown if you have the patience to sit through it. A great way to build sensitivity for push hands.
