  • Teaching in China, I have met Baguazhang Style ("eight trigram palm") Master Zhang in his temple from Zhuhai, Guandong. Master Zhang is coming from the sacred Wudang Mountain and even if he is more than 60 years old, he is moving with the speed and agility of a tiger.

    My Muay Thai coach taught me a simple Baguazhang style set of movements that when combined with the Muay Thai/Muay Chaiya triangle style footwork is extremely effective footwork for modern striking. It may look artistic in the way he is doing it here but in addition to being artistic there are extremely useful movements in baguazhang that are useful for circling one's opponent. I have used it in the context of an actual MMA match and noticed my opponent had a look of fear on his face at one point when I started circling him like he was a prey animal about to be eaten. I like these spinning footwork techniques because it allows me to create angles on opponents that are really hard to create with the normal linear footwork patterns

    Thanks so much for the fine video! This demonstration is a testament to the health maintenance qualities of Bagua Zhang. The name "The School of the Heart" is a wonderful name for a school because, to me, the elevated qualities of the heart like joy, gratitude, appreciation, care, love, and compassion are the sweetness of life and can help lead to blissful health. 🙏🏻❤️🦋

      Not sure if you can get these type of Martial Arts clothes outside China although nowadays there are stores everywhere with similar pants and shirts or probably you can look online and try to find something similar; what he wears is done right there in the area he is living.

      In most Bagua styles that I know of, yes. Typically there are 8 palm changes and each palm change is done in a clockwise and a counterclockwise movement around the circle.

    It is not true that Baguazhang comes from Wudang Shan. Dong Haichuan invented Baguazhang when he was living at Jiuhuashan among Taoist priests.
    Wudang Shan has become associated with Tai Chi and Baguazhang due to a government decision in the 1920s to group them under the Wudang label at the Central Guosho (old name for wushu) School in Nanjing. All internal styles were arbitrarily assigned to Wudang, and all external styles to Shaolin, even though most of these styles originated elsewhere.
    In 2017, the Chinese Baguazhang Association made a road trip to Wudang Shan looking to explore the origins of Baguazhang. I was there when they presented their findings, which stated that Baguazhang did not originate in Wudang Shan and few people there practiced it. If they did practice Baguazhang, it was usually a modern, flowery style that became popular after the 1960, geared for performance rather than fighting.
    If somebody claims lineage from Wudang Shan for their Tai Chi or Baguazhang, their teacher his teacher probably learnt it elsewhere and moved to Wudang Shan afterwards

    Hey, I will be 60 years old this August with a BMI of 23. I bet I run faster than you. I taught myself Wing Chun. I believe I understand the Wing Chun moves more than some so-called Wing Chun masters. I play two sticks using the Bat Jaam Do technique in Wing Chun too. LOL Baa Gua is much more difficult to apply in real fights than Wing Chun. The forms are beautiful. I have only seen a couple of masters using this system effectively in real fight applications so far. One of them was showing his technique in a very short footage shot in Hawaii. One of them is teaching in the national academy of kung fu in China.

    he clearly doesn't know what the opening sequence is for since he doesn't complete it. it's a choke escape but then when the arms are trapped you need to strike. he does the start but not the finish. I doubt this guy knows any applications of these forms. most of that was lost on the mainland because the cultural revolution murdered most of the boxers. the rest fled to taiwan
