Cheng style Bagua Flowing set

Today in the Live Session we continued working on our Bagua basic movements and walking drills and also introduced our Flowing Set #1. This set comes from our Wang Shu Jin lineage of Cheng style and helps teach basic movements as well as the concept of "jie zou" and "ge deng". Jie zou is rhthym and 'ge deng' is implies the sound of horse hooves in motion. These concepts are meant to be studied and expanded upon, not really something to just remember or put on a list. The goal is to understand how these concepts shape the practice.

Below is a YouTube video going over the first few movements of the flowing set. With this, and most bagua forms, there are many ways to express the movements once the basics are understood. This form should be done on the left and right side.
