Although not taught to the public, Tai Chi Ball training was commonly practiced in both traditional external and internal Chinese martial arts. Over time, many of the training techniques were lost. With the advent of the internet, many of these techniques are now available to the public. Our Tai Chi Gung Fu Training Ball is precision molded and hand-finished in the USA. Each is hand inspected for flaws and roundness. Each 6 inch ball, an ideal size for beginners, weighs exactly 1 pound and will roll smoothly on a table. The seamless design is ideal for most Tai Chi, Wing Chun and Shaolin Gung Fu training. The origins of the Tai Chi Gung Fu ball are unclear but it is thought to have originated from the concept that roundness was the crucial key of neutralizing incoming stiff and square power. Ancient practitioners , they began to search for ways of training this roundness. They looked for an object to help them develop and attain this feeling of roundness. The round objects were adopted. The internal martial styles, compared to external arts, most likely contributed more to the development of taiji ball training, due to the significant emphasis it places on roundness and adhering.
