GONG BAO TIAN BA GUA COMBAT SET TUTORIAL part 2

Fundamental to this ba gua quan system is the open body posture, which when properly trained, brings one the versatility to be fast and slow, light and heavy, at once. Inner cultivation (circle walking) is clearly distinguished from outer practice (linear forms and combat training), discouraging accumulation of internal pressure that may result from martial arts training.

I would bet you have some very strong shocking power.

Maybe show an example of shocking technique on the big fellow in the white jammies.

Richard (in white) is a very accomplished practitioner. I give him a lot of credit for learning this new language. These lessons were made in 2007, so all I have to show is what we taped.

It would be very interesting to see some of that.

Agreed.

Capturing the opponent's center is a most distinguishing feature of BGQ. Without this as the goal of the eight palms, techniques aren't evolved beyond earlier developed MA systems. Footwork is vital to learning this, so that it is the whole body rather than just the hand that is in contact with the opponent.
