First, softball Taiji ball games
Softball is a Tai Chi ball game, which embodies the profound "Tai Chi culture" of the Chinese nation. Softball takes the soft and the hard, takes the retreat as the advance, and fights the savage skillfully.
In sports, every time you catch, serve, catch and throw a ball, you need to pay attention to certain skills, and it is not affected by factors such as the venue, so that participants can enjoy the free atmosphere of sports and the happiness brought by sports freely.
Second, the birth of softball
Taiji softball was founded in 199 1. Associate Professor Bai Rong, a teacher of Shanxi Jinzhong Health School who graduated from the Department of Physical Education of Shanxi University, tried to combine some of Tai Ji Chuan's movements with tennis and badminton skills in daily physical education teaching, forming a Taiji soft ball.
199 1 year, obtained the invention patent of Taiji Softball in Shanxi University of Finance and Economics (formerly Shanxi Institute of Economics and Management), and formed the "Taiji Softball Creation Group" with Li Jiankang, Xue, Zhang Lu, Cheng Mingduo (Shanxi University), (Shanxi Normal University) and Xing Huaizhong (Shanxi Changzhi Medical College) of the Institute of Physical Education. ?
From 65438 to 0994, Taiji Softball passed the evaluation and affirmation of the evaluation group of the State Education Commission. In 2000, it was listed as a new project promoted by China Sports Association for the Elderly, and training courses and classes for coaches and referees were held in Beijing (2000), Shandong (200 1), Beijing (2002), Shanghai (2003), Tianjin and Jiangxi (2005).
Third, the characteristics of softball
Taiji softball is a new sport with national characteristics. It's a racket for athletes. A racket consists of a handle and a frame. There is a soft rubber surface with air holes in the racket frame, and the ball is thrown around by arc induction.
It can be thrown by two people, practiced by one person alone, passed by many people or through online competitions to achieve the purpose of fitness, entertainment, performance and competition.
Technical principle of taiji softball
1, the formation and application of circular arc
According to the specific technical requirements of softball itself, practitioners should have the concept of "circle" in their hearts when doing any action. That is to say, after the ball is put into the racket with the shoulder of the racket arm as the axis, it will perform arc induction according to different technical actions. Due to the movement of the body and the different flexion and extension of the racket arm, arcs with different radii are formed, with large long radius and small short radius.
No matter the size of an arc, it is a part of a circle. Knowing this rule, we can deliberately change the radius according to the actual needs in practice and competition, so that the process of arc induction is ever-changing, confusing opponents and achieving the goal of winning.
2. The correspondence between the ball and the racket, and the correspondence between the ball speed and the racket speed.
In soft ball sports, the ball and racket are a pair of main counterparts, and the control of the ball is very important in the process of sports.
Have a correct judgment on the speed, strength and direction of the incoming ball. When the racket receives the ball, it should be consistent with the speed, strength and direction of the incoming ball, so as to release the power, change the direction, make the ball cut into the racket quietly, achieve the unity of the racket and lay the foundation for arc induction.
This link is the key to turning passivity into initiative. If the speed, strength and direction are not judged correctly, there will be collisions, missed balls and other phenomena, resulting in losing points.
