It is seems more like Baguazhang! but I don´t have deep knowledge from Tai Chi or Bagua either. anyway looks great for Chinna and close combat drills improve.

Here's the story: As I was preparing for push hands tournament and had no one to practice with, my teacher gave me the pole and said that it was my push hands partner and taught me the drills. He said this belonged to his family's system. So it may very well have bagua flavor to it since he is proficient in that art as well. But my introduction to it was as a tool for tai chi's push hands.. That film is around 12 years old. I do these drills hopefully a little better. Thanks for the comments..

A friend showed me this video and it sparked right away. With my previous teacher, we practised bagua as part of our training: in a circle, using the same stance, arm positions and transitions. Now that I no longer have a teacher, I've been looking for ways to stay in shape and challenge myself. I've found a good pole, about my height, and begun training. I have a home office so I just step out my door and begin.

Thank you for sharing your work.

If you can,t see that this is Bagua practice then you need to brush up on your Martial Art knowledge. Still, this pole practice is quite interesting. Keep it up (joke!)

Every sifu has their own secrets and ways to fix the gap, that is the meaning of traditional kung fu and the root cause of more systems arise regarding the personal improvements.

very nice.

This is totally interesting, I´d never seen something like this before related to tai chi, I use some exercises from hung gar and shui shao but this is amazing, for the practical focus and great for balance and application performance.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing. you said that this is yang style? I´m going to get my own log this week, jajaja.
