Baguazhang (Bagua Palm 八卦掌) Form and Applications

Sifu Wei-Chung Lin (林維中), a disciple of the Yizungyue (易宗岳) School and the Chief Instructor of the Chinese Taoist Martial Arts Association ( http://ctmaa.com/ )in Skokie (a northern suburb of Chicago) Illinois, demonstrate a Baguazhang (八卦掌) form and its applications.

The body mechanics employed in the execution of the movements are based on the Pre-Heaven Power Method. More information on the Pre-Heaven Power Method can be found on the website http://americanyzy.com/.

I like it , if you dont mind I'm going to add it to list of forms.Going to take awhile but I like it alot

@michahberta Sure. Go ahead.

Good form.

If I were to learn all three internal styles, which should I start with?

[taipingvlg]

@goobtron You can start with Yang style Taijiquan or Xingyiquan. After you have learned the basics of Xingyiquan, you may add Baguazhang in your training.

@MikeyItes Please see kitsuneopal's comment for the name of the music. Thanks.

If you think BaGua is not for fighting, then you don't know much about BaGua.

Martial Arts were originally developed for combat in order to survive.

When fighting wasn't as necessary to survive, people re-invented it to meet other important needs.

A hammer can build a house or break skulls - the focus of the training changes, but the tools are the same.

This is the style the "Good" Jet Li used in "The One" correct? Very fluid style - I really like the feel of it.

@taipingvlg I do Yang Style Taijiquen and love it. Love the health benefits and it has helped my jiu-jitsu a lot by being more aware of how my body is weighted and moves.
