CURRENT MAJOR MGB'S EVENTS:
Currently, our main global project (in addition to day-to-day operations with the MBTA players/customers in our headquarters) is the Dynamic Total Body Tennis World Tour (DTBT World Tour). Our mission is to help tennis players the world over by giving them more enjoyment and success from the game at any level & to help to grow the game of tennis worldwide. In these efforts, we are helping the tennis world understand how to learn to play and also how to learn to teach tennis in a much faster and more efficient, more enjoyable and body-friendly way closer to the game of the pro players. This will give every player at any level the chance to enjoy more of the game's fascination and mainly the feeling of the full and still controlled tennis strokes while enjoying the optimal health benefits from the active participation and full body engagement in the game.
The various DTBT Tour stops in different countries consist of theoretical and practical seminars/courses for coaches and also demo events, clinics, as well as camps for players at any level.

 |
 |
"LAST 20% OF THE SHOT TRAJECTORY DECIDE IT ALL" - January 8, 2005. The classical crucial theme of tennis one more time, with it's first presentation in Germany. Very well received by independent private coaches, the on-court presentation created less enthusiasm on the side of the German Coaches Association (VDT), which supports active use of the wrist and forearm in the tennis strokes....., which might be one of the reasons for the unfortunate stagnation in the development of the top tennis players in Germany... MGB also secured the organizers of this congress and then translated into German the presentation of USPTA/PTR Master Professional Ken Dehart (USA).
