Gao Xiantien Baguazhang

This video is a performance of the Gao style Baguazhang Xiantien Palms by Chen Baozhang. This seems to be an excellent performance of the set by a student of Liu Feng-Cai and a elder practitioner of the Tienjin flavor of Gao Yi-Sheng's martial art.
Some things to keep in mind, alot of the bigger twisting and deep stances, and the half-spins are missing (presumably because of Mr. Chen's age). Alternately.. when you've been doing something that long.. you can do it however you want :D
I wish I had video of him doing it when he was 50!

Interesting to compare with the Taiwan Gao Xiantien. Almost identical to the 'short' version of Zhang Jun Feng - I expected it to be more different ...

@XuZhangWang Yeah.. kinda makes you wonder what Mr. Zhang's motivation was in creating his longer version doesn't it?

@XuZhangWang

Why would that be Wu Menxia's influence? Is Wu Menxia's lineage known for big movements?

[XuZhangWang]

@fanfan33000 I've heard it was as a learning aid, easier to get the structure through big movements. Wu Menxia's influence?
