Our approach

Bagua can be as deep or superficial as a teacher chooses to make it.
Some schools will just teach circle walking and palm changes. They may not even teach combat skills.
As with tai chi, this is a common approach in the UK.

Our school takes all of your internal skills and puts them into the baguazhang:


  1. Chin na
    - cavity press
    - dividing the muscles
    - floor work
    - misplacing the bones
    - sealing the breath
    - throwing


  2. Countering punches, kicks & grapples


  3. Defence against a knife


  4. Freeform


  5. Group work/melee/multiple opponents


  6. Jing


  7. Neigong


  8. Shuai jiao


  9. Striking
    - jing
    - speed
    - being hit
    - the use of weight
    - whole body power
    - energy release (fa jing)
