Glad to see you guys are making the most of your training experience there :D
The best thing about Zhengding (and China in general) is that it changes the way you approach training, even long after you leave there. I was there in July 2015, it was a very good training trip.
My last day in China on this trip. Always finding a new place to play, it has been an exciting couple of weeks! :)

In Guangzhou, China I had dinner with my old training partner Jason! So nice to see old friends :)

Hi TTD, i'm currently visiting Hong Kong and South China over the next two weeks. I'm posting all my Facebook page PongVenture.
Ill share also on what I get up to :)
Consider him vouched for, the mytt account is not related to him at all. He's a junior player from New Zealand and like most developing young players in my homeland there isn't a lot of education around equipment or always good available options. So ease off a little, he's not a troll, he's...
Truls is extraordinary, I remember him from the 2013 World Hopes Team and he was already proving himself as a promising future star for the European continent and he has improved in leaps and bounds since then. Hope he can put Sweden back at the top one day!
I went to Zhengding and Beijing last year and it was a really great experience. I was training for just over 3 weeks and it made an enormous impact on my form :)
She doesn't compete domestically, not for a long time (I have never seen her play domestic in NZ in over 15 years) but she played for NZ and came back after retirement and continued to compete. She is still regarded as one of the best yes, but it's hard to gauge her level against some of the new...
Haha yes I've heard many stories from Chunli about her time in Japan, she still gets a good laugh out of telling us about she beat half the men playing at the time :P
That's a shame, Japan used to have an incredibly lucrative and high level Super Circuit back in the day for many years which attracted players from all over the world, the likes of Primorac, Persson, Kim Taek Soo, Samsonov etc.
They certainly have talent here, the current level of the cadets is fairly strong and the junior girls have excelled in recent years (2 bronze medals last 2 years WJC teams)
A paid professional league in my mind is the only answer. Foreign countries limit the number of foreign players in each...
England has a national league system in place and strong regional leagues. USA doesn't really have that. Also as mentioned above England is in Europe so once the players reach the top of the British League they can try and find clubs and work their way up through league systems in Germany...
Ladies and Gentlemen if I may...haha
The nation certainly has the population to have potential to be great at anything and that's something the USA have shown across a ridiculous number of Olympic Sports. Unfortunately as mentioned above, the sport as we know it is much more popular as a social...
She's American born and learnt to play table tennis in the USA so just because she is asian or 'very asian' as you so put it (which I might add she isn't, she's quite American lol) doesn't mean that she's Chinese.
Great initiative, it would have been great if TTE could have done some kind of social kickback for their page though it's a great opportunity and they only have 12k fans.
I was really impressed when I saw it though it's a really creative idea to get out there and improve the spread to...
