Bagwa Zhang
Internal martial arts in general attempt to use the knowledge of the nature of Qi (or Chi, used here
interchangably) to increase speed, power, effectiveness and health benefits of their art. BaguaZhang
uses Taoist based qigong techniques and philosophy merged with a circular style of twisting martial
techniques including evasive footwork and palm changes. Open hand forms are fluid and always moving.
There is little emphasis on static stance training. The energy is derived from "walking the circle"
with the waist twisted and the hands open With proper instruction and diligent practice BaguaZhang
through its fusion of philosophy, qigong, and martial art can be both a highly effective means of self
defense and promote physical and spiritual well-being.
