On July 16th Hochstädten hosted an open stage. Among the artists was Taiji am Neuhof to present the variety of BailongBall. Their program was calles “Making of” and Peter Hetzler moderated the audience through a typical BailongBall training. After the demonstration everybody had the chance to learn more about the sport, which was gladly accepted by many spectators. More than that, many could not resist, grabbed racket and ball and tried some of the moves presented on their own or by guidance of the trainers.

Discours on the BailongBall Racket Sheet The result should not take center stage at all costs. Rather you should show your real skill level at a competition.

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.

We are taking our Zoom offer, “TBBF always in flow”, to the next level.
Every two weeks any and all interested BailongBall players can join our free training session (60 min. each). We will show you various BailongBall disciplines. So far we have already started on forms by Olga Ardasheva and Irina Rusavina. This block of 6 sessions covers the discipline XPlay (also known as Multiplay).
The trainings take place on Thursdays at 7:30 PM CET. The second block with Irina started on February 10th. During these 6 sessions she teaches us her artistic creation “Heaven & Earth”. You could not participate in the first session or would like to watch the recording? Find all the details in this blog post, including schedule and links to the session recordings (at the end of the blog).

After the “Latina Form” by Olga Ardasheva, in this block we will switch from BailongBall forms to Xplay. Again, this block consists of 6 sessions, in which Philippe Marty will show us basic techniques, as well as advanced techniques.
Teaching XPlay via Web is of course a “special challenge”, considering the missing playing! 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?
