Wow. You are so lucky that you get to have a one on one session with Master Jinbao. I started Yin style Bagua this spring so I consider you a Senpai. I also watch several of your videos. Very good stuff. Is this in China?
Taffbanjo It is known that Yin style has a provenience from Luohan quan (18 Arhat kungfu) . Could you explain why, according to you, Snake style comes from Shanghai?
I should have said that Snake Style as such was most popular in Shanghai whereas the various Dragon styles, together with Yin and Sun schools tended to be more popular around the Beijing area. I believe that most styles have Snake techniques and I have noticed wide variations though Snake changes certainly tend to be more compact, with smaller circles than the freer, more open interpretations we normally expect from, say, the Dragon versions. Still, it's all good stuff and at the end of the day, BaGua is BaGua.
Thank you very much for posting. Please keep them coming. Snake (aka Python) does not have much info available. Thanks again for sharing.
He uses the coiling motions to wrap around the limbs to break them while walking the circle.

A paradox in terms - Yin style is based on 18 Buddha Boxing, a North China style. Snake style comes from Shianghai.
