Stone, wooden, metal Balls

[fiercest tiger]

Hi Guys,

Can someone tell me apart from the weights would the different type of balls used in Internal and external kung fu have anything to do with TCM 5 element theory?

Does it matter if you cant get wooden ball then a metal or is it just a personal choice?

Taiji Bob any comments mate?

Also how long does a taiji ball workout last for 1 hr etc?

Ill answer myself with another question, hehehe!

Does anyone that do taiji ball think that the ball should be done every second day or everyday, as it is heavy like a weight do you need to rest a few days when doing taiji ball?
