BAGUAZHANG KUNG FU - The 8 Kicking Methods

The 8 Baguazhang kicking methods are all low line kicks developed from the Bagua Circle walking. Unlike many other kung fu styles Bagua mainly uses short range kicks designed to attack the knee joint to destroy the opponents ability to stand.

Interesting how these kicks blossom out of the spiral structure. It gives them a continuous,slicing and hooking quality that's precise and deceptively powerful. Thank you.

Thank you.
Did not know Baqua used edge of foot kicking. (In my style of Northern Shaolin, it is called "shovel leg" kicking.)
Always thought Bagua used legs only for tripping and hooking and less for kicking.

Bagua doesn't put much emphasis on kicking at all. The kicking methods are used mainly to further develop the footwork. Thanks for reaching out 😁

What system of Bagua only has 4 types of kicks? The Bagua that i practice has so many more

Would you only use one of the 8 kicks or would you use all of them at once?

[@thekungfuplatform]

They are usually used individually but you could use the backwards hooking kick with one of the 3 forward kicks in certain circumstances. It really depends if you're able to generate power in each of the kicks to make them effective. Thanks
