Chinese Jianzi is a game originated from HAN dynasty in China. It was well popular after SUI dynasty and TANG dynasty for a few thousand years. People made and played it during the leisure time. it is a game that you can play any where you want. Jianzi offers great fitness and funs. it creates a dynamic, yet stable trajectory that improves hand eye coordination. You can hit it with your hands, knees, feet or even your head to keep it of the ground anyway you want. Best to play with two or more people.

In 1933, Jianzi, as a formal national sports game, was defined in 15th National Sports Meeting. Since that, this sports is well recommended to schools and there is some professional players and game-fans working hard on promoting this game by writing some literatures and directing & recording some demonstration videos. New Millennium Industrial Ltd, as a professional exporter for chinese traditional sports, started to export this funny product to lots of different countries since 2003. We have developed a sand beach Jianzi (or called sand beach shuttle) with heavier and high bouncing base to increase the difficulty and challenge of this game. See following picture:

And during our communications with foreign player, we get to know there are different names for this game in different countries although there are some difference for the designs. So I can realize the achievements of culture communications for our ancestors.
