Tai Chi Ball Qigong for Health MASTER YANG LIVE DVD with Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming

Recently, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming taught a live tai chi ball qìgōng class for a small group of private students. This video presents his latest teaching about “Tai Chi Ball Qìgōng” to the wider public for the first time.

Master Yang, Jwing-Ming has studied and practiced tai chi chuan (tàijíquán) and qìgōng for over fifty years. In this new lesson, he demonstrates and explains tai chi ball qìgōng (太極球氣) and leads you through a follow-along class.

Whether you practice barehanded, with a lightweight ball, or with a traditional wood ball, these powerful movements profoundly condition your entire body, with an emphasis on strengthening and protecting the spine.

After exploring his detailed tai chi theory and delving into fascinating tai chi chuan history, he leads the class through a follow-along warm up and stretching routine and offers priceless key points as students practice and ask common questions.
