[kentishtowncowboy]

very nice. Thanks for posting.

@papertiger7 He was a friend but not my student. He wasn't used to the bagua type throws, etc. The face-fall was a little surprising for him.

good book?

[trubblman]

I hate to be hater but it's easy to work techniques while the man in white stands there like a crash test dummy. Man in white just stands still and punches or kicks while the man in black is moving fluidly.

@trubblman This is just a demonstration of applications. If you want to see bagua against a resisting opponent, look up bagua and xing yi fighting.

REALLY nice to see a clip for Eight Faeries along with possible apps. Thanx! I'd love to see the clips for all of Wang's eight as one does tend to drift here and there over the decades.

Really nice to see a Eight Faeries clip complete with possible applications. Thanx! Would love to see all the eight provided here as one does tend to drift over the decades.

Hi Kent. Great videos. It would be great to get the DVD- Any news on when it may be available ? Thanks , bob.

[ambucias]

I had no idea some caucasian were mastering bagua, very good video.

[baguaman8]

Yes! But we still haven't mastered ping pong and math, so I guess you are still safe.

[combatives]

@ambucias I am Ho Kuen Ng's (Taiwan) successor through Sifu Thomas Senora. We are two caucasians (myself and my Sifu) that have a mastership level in Ho Family Baguazhang, however, it is an art for all the world and those that embrace the Tao. May the universe shine upon you and bring good fortune. :)

[tinyswallow]

Very smoothly connect power. I can see these techniques are almost second nature. Excellent!

[alopda1]

how is bagua used against mutiple opponets?

[combatives]

@alopda1 Dear aloda1, it is amazingly applicable to handle an ample number of multiple opponents (if you possess proper skill and understanding). However, as in all combat situations survival is the key. If there are too many or they are all armed I say run unless there is no avenue of escape then explode with all your mind force, body force, and remember there is a difference between scholarly study and real fighting. Do whatever it takes to survive and return home to your loved ones!

[chengbaguadude]

refreshing! glad I found your page

[Aheyne]

Haha 1:10 he must've been pissed.. You could hear that hard fall.

[baguaman8]

Actually he was more surprised. In fact, he asked me to do it again! Apparently he had never been thrown that way before.

[papertiger7]

@baguaman8 Was he your student?

[BILLGETSSTRONG]

One thing I noticed is that you actually end up in the center of the circle still at the end of the change as opposed to the outter line of the circle.

[BILLGETSSTRONG]

Thanks for posting these clips Kent.

I have your book as well.

[innerdoor]

And who says the bagua form is esoteric!? These are done at teaching speed and they are still extremely effective looking. 8stepsifu is right, you have been well taught indeed.

[8stepsifu]

very cool. You have obviously been well taught and know your angles.
