Thursday 01.15.25 5-6pm Live session. Bagua Zhang
Here is the link for today's Bagua Zhang class. We are going to go over warm ups, basic drills, linear walking, basic circle walking and the flowing set. https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83403811045?pwd=T5sxmF4qzYZgYvtyIp5aUAVKSadJ8M.1
Master Zhang Wei Dong -Liang Style Bagua
Hi everyone, this is my Liang style teacher, Zhang Wei Dong performing the Ba Mian Zhang which is considered an advanced set of the Liang style. It was developed later, in the 20th century I believe, as an extension of the Ding Shi Ba Zhang which are the Fixed Palm Changes. Within our lineage the Fixed Changes are considered the "Highest expression of the principles" even though they are the most simple. The Ba Mian Zhang stands in contrast with how outwardly expressive the movements are even though they are based off the simple changes. Also, you might see me in the background watching🙂. This was filmed in Beijing by a Kung Fu brother of mine before he moved back to Europe. Sometime around 2009 maybe.

@Marc Rosarius Glad you enjoyed it!
Youtube footage of Bagua Zhang from early 1980's/late 70's
I stumbled across this video and thought I'd share it here. While not long, it was interesting to see some different practices shown in archival footage.

Really cool find! The first women in the video is Sun Jia Yun, daughter of the famous Sun Lu Tang. Sun was a Cheng stylist who developed his own versions of tai ji, Bagua and Xing Yi called Sun style. One of my qi gong grand teachers studied with him for some time. He did not really teach his bagua but incorporated some of the movement into his training.
