More Info About Tai Chi Balls
The process of making a Tai Chi ball out of wood is difficult and poses several technical challenges. But we have found the best available source, made in the USA. These balls are made by gluing several pieces of wood together, which reduces the tendency of the ball to crack as it ages and dries. The traditional method of making a ball from a single piece of wood is nearly impossible to accomplish, and can't be done in bulk or for an affordable price.

About Tai Chi Ball Qigong
Tai Chi Ball training used to be common practice in both external and internal martial arts. Unfortunately, due to its secrecy, fewer and fewer people have learned it. Today the art of Tai Chi Ball Qigong is growing again, thanks to the publication of Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming's book and instructional DVDs. Tai Chi Ball Qigong classes are increasing with YMAA Instructors and others around the world.

It is recommended that you start with a ball that is a comfortable weight to train with for 15 minutes. Over time, you will increase the duration of your practice to one hour (or as long as you have available). When you're ready, you can progress to a bigger ball, which adds weight to your practice, and increases the distance between the palms.

With continued practice, your physical body will become stronger and more flexible, which relieves many health issues, especially back pain. In addition, your energetic circulation will improve, giving you more energy. Ultimately, your higher goal is the feel the energy between your palms through the ball.

We look forward to helping you make progress with your health goals with the powerful exercises of Tai Chi Ball Qigong.

We recently told you the good news that YMAA Publication Center is releasing a new line of Tai Chi Balls.  Now that we've got the ball rolling, the balls are being prepared this week and they'll become available to order during May 2014. Our challenge is, we're not sure how many to order, so we need your help by giving us your estimate of how many Tai Chi Balls you are likely to order when they arrive on our loading dock. To solve this challenge, we'd like to give you the first chance to reserve your balls. This is technically NOT an order. But, sharing your best estimate below helps us ensure that we won't run out the first day the Tai Chi Balls arrive! Whether you only need one, or a few of each size, please let us know.

By reserving a tai chi ball, you are telling us what you intend to purchase. This reservation is non binding for you.
