兒少太極球
Tai Chi Ball for Children
擷取太極拳之動作精華,利用後天之肢體舒展活動,培養先天之氣。透過圓柔、波動方式的無限運轉,達到身體的緩節柔筋功效;並藉四肢的升降開合,伸縮旋轉,虛實互動,刺激大腦的成長,柔化脊柱,讓生機盎然,提高生命活力。拳法的練習亦可適度的釋放身心壓力,提升成長中的身體潛能。
Derived from essential Tai Chi movements and coupled with physical stretches, this form of training can help nourish one’s vital energy. Through repeated movements that are rounded, soft, and rhythmic with a wave-like manner, the body can become softer and more flexible. By moving the four limbs up, down, in and out, as well as extending, contorting, and rotating them, the resulting intangible and tangible interactions can help stimulate brain development and soften the spine, bring about positive growth and a heightened degree of vital energy. The practice of these movements can moderately help with alleviating physical and mental stress while improving the potential of a child's developing body.
球體的選材大小,約為六吋五分直徑,可選用排球或躲避球。
The size of the ball should be approximately 6.5 inches in diameter. A volleyball or dodgeball can be used.
