What Do World Cup, Chinese Feather & Tai Chi Breathing Have In Common?
As you are aware now, the World Cup fever is picking up.
You'll know that it will get even heated once the matches begin on June 9, 2006 when Germany plays Costa Rica.
That's not all...
It will get even heated up when it is nearer to the final match.
Been a World Cup fan myself, I did some reading recently...
You'd be amazed on what I've discovered.
You see, it's about the History of Football, and it was somewhat related to an ancient Chinese game called "Tsu Chu"
The game dated back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C in China...
This consisted of kicking a leather ball (flat like a coin) with feathers. This is better known as "Jianzi" by later generation.
You'd find them kicking it in a field, measuring only 30–40 cm in width, trying to strike it into a small net fixed onto long bamboo canes.
We used to play "Jianzi" using a different approach: we would try our best to keep it on the air as long as possible.
You have probably seen before, our simple game started by one throwing the Chinese
feather to another who will either kick it, chest it, head it, shoulder it (no hands please!), either keep it to himself, or pass it on to another friend.
Together, you'll see them working to keep it on the air, and counting, trying to beat the previous counts.
Interesting?
Look, this is not to say that football starts from there. Far from it!
You'd only see some similarity here... and it's just part of the Chinese folk games.
But, it's really amazing, isn't it?
So, to our questions - you already have the answer relating to World Cup (football) and Chinese feather...
So, what's this got to do with Tai Chi Breathing?
You see, I've designed a simplified exercise, extracted from my Tai Chi Breathing method, hopefully to share it with World Cup fans out there:

What's that for, you'd ask, wouldn't you?
Right... it's basically to help diehard fans, perhaps you, to get more energy and stay more alert so that you can remain awake to watch your favorite matches on TV.
And that you will be wake up fresher, and have more energy to handle your work the next day.
It's your 'Survival Kit For The World Cup Month'!
Cool huh?
And I keep this sharing open until June 9, 2006 only. So, you want to find out here as soon as you can at:

And as you know now, the answer to "What Do World Cup, Chinese Feather And Tai Chi Breathing Has In Common?", don't you?
Have a great day, and have a wonderful World Cup month!
