Imperial Bagua Shanghai

[xChuckNorrisKickx]

What a complete waste of time.

Very good Ba Gua Zhang. Reminds me of a battling spider stepping, turning, attacking, evading, climbing high, crouching low, pouncing on, repelling off. Hands and feet work in same time support of attack and defense. Perfection in motion.

This si some good stuff.

Obviously he knows and understands his art. I like his chaan su jing.

This is the Wasp Style Bagua hehe. Nice demo, very pretty but dude, if its a martial form, maybe I'm missing something?

[qimassage]

you are totally missing something. I used to think the same thing until I felt the real power of Ba Gua:)

[wenwu]

no intention, stance too high, swinging kicks

oh my god

[urbantea]

son, stance too high or low does not matter. As long as you are aligned, your spine, then you can get a strong root. Learn.

[wenwu]

actually height of stance does matter,

not only with root, but with movement, with using the kua, i.e. if you stand too high you don't have as much kua movement. i don't mean that he should be performing bagua in the lower basin, i feel that should be kept for personal training and not for demos, but a little more effort in his stances would have been nice to see

interesting in this style that he leans in to the circle, this is the only style i have seen that does this

[oldtyger]

Hard to judge a person or art from watching a video of a form. Different bagua styles use different methods, including stepping. This guy is using what is sometimes called "Natural" or "Lion" stepping. Xei Peiqi's lineage also use natural stepping--and He Jinbao, the current lineage bearer, is quite skilled.

[Baguazhangster]

This is BS, its just wushu of what "Bagua" might look like if you had no real training, the stances are weak, look at the inconsistancy of the balence and steping distance/angles. Its not real, if its was faster it might be nice to watch. What a waste, next please!

[PADE1RTW]

After having a look at your bagua it is hard to believe you could criticize anyone paticularly this practitioner whose level you will likely never approach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[andysun73]

You are suppose to raise the heels and toes together and place them together. Also the front foot should slide. If it wasn't for some western martial artists The internal arts would be lost for ever. Its a sad case when one day the Chinese people will have too come to the west to relearn there tai chi and bagua.

[PADE1RTW]

You are referring to how Chen Ting Hua practitioners walk. Yin style uses a lower stance. Try walking very low and slide your feet and move them flat.......impossible. Wheel stepping works beeter for low walking.

[HiddenPalm]

Did you see how he ended it? That is some shit right there.

[nocommentlifestyle]

what bagua style is this one? what do the movements mean?

thanks for uploading!
