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”.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Mehr als 20 Millionen Aktive weltweit (überwiegend in China) feiern in diesem Jahr das 30-jährige Jubiläum der Ballsportart Bailongball (Roliball). Der Erfindung des Balles, des Rackets und der Spielidee verdanken wir dem Chinesen Prof. Bai Rong, der am 24.9.1991 ein Racket unter dem Namen „Taiji game ball“ bei der chinesischen Patentbehörde anmeldete.
