Movement therapy and BailongBall – Peter’s way

In diesem Blog-Beitrag beschreibt Peter wie BailongBall zum Begleiter durch sein privates aber professionelles Leben geworden ist und wie er das Private mit dem Professionellen sportlich verbinden konnte. Eine lesenswerte Entwicklung und Synergie – doch lest selbst.

A World of Variety - the BailongBall Disciplines

Your own name is an important communication tool, because it is usually one of the first words that comes up in a conversation with somebody who doesn’t know you. The name is like a business card that opens a door to your own (life) story for any stranger.

In a monolingual and monosystemic world, choosing a suitable name would be easier than in our real multicultural community. After all, language, pronunciation and characters have many country-specific facets.

From White to Black – an Interview with Irina Rusavina covering the BailongBall Grading System

In our last post about the BailongBall grading system, Irina gave us some background on the nine levels you can achieve in BailongBall. In this blog post, we want to look a little behind the scenes and learn what the exam is all about, why somebody may be motivated to take a Duan exam, how the exam process works and much more. I asked Irina all this in the following interview – learn from one of our most experienced instructors which path she took to success!

Discours on the BailongBall Racket Sheet

As a BailongBall trainer of Chinese origin, I closely follow developments in my sport’s home country. Recently, a heated discussion about the equipment has flared up among the players in the social media channels. One proponent of the “back to the roots” initiative is Mr. Cao, who has been an officially certified instructor and referee since the birth of our sport. He advocates a solid basic technique and gives online lessons free of charge. More information about the lessons and activities of Mr. Cao Shu can be found on his Wechat account “gh_c82cddec20f5”.

BailongBall in Chinese Sports Science

Since its invention by Prof. Bai Rong 30 years ago, 柔力球 BailongBall has become an ever more popular sport in its originating country. It has also become a research object of Chinese sports science. In this article, I would like to introduce you to one of the Chinese scientists who has been studying our sport for more than two decades: Prof. Dr. Wang Hong (王宏), from the Institute of WuShu at Wuhan Sports University.

TBBF Always in Flow – Online / Live Trainings for Free: Get Ready for Game

Nach der „Latina-Form“ von Olga Ardasheva wechseln wir in diesem Block von den BailongBall Formen zum Xplay. Auch dieser besteht wieder aus 6 Sessions, in denen Philippe Marty uns dieses Mal Grundtechniken, sowie fortgeschrittene Techniken zeigen wird.

Teaching XPlay via Web is of course a “special challenge”, considering the missing partner! And yet – Philippe has impressively demonstrated in his first session how basic techniques can also be practiced alone. With your own momentum or with the help of a wall – preferably windowless, in order not to distirb the neighbors ;-). Of course you can also ask another person for assistance – maybe the neighbor can throw a few balls?

From White to Black – the BailongBall Grading System

Um die BailongBall-Formen (Taolu) zu standardisieren und um ihre Verbreitung zu fördern, haben Spezialisten verschiedener Sportorganisationen unter anderem wie der Sport Universität Peking (北体大), des chinesischen Seniorensportverbands (老体协) ein System von Sportgraden – das Duanwei-System – entwickelt, das dem des Wushu ähnelt.

2021 – The Year of Adaptation

30 years ago, Prof. Bai Rong invented our unique sport and established the four principles: “Rou, Yuan, Zheng and Tui”, which not only apply to specific movements, but should also have a positive influence on individual human actions. Now more than ever, we are writing the year two after the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, we bailongball players are influenced by these guiding principles and look back here on the year of adaptations.
