Bagua Fighting Techniques and Applications 程派八卦掌打法 (Video taken in 2008)

程派八卦掌宗師程庭華在跟隨董海川祖師學藝之前，已是中國跤（俗稱快跤）高手，所以程派八卦掌的摔跌之法，千變萬化。
程派八卦的基本功趟泥步，源自董公的＂轉天尊＂道家氣功。不但可以練出兩對相反力：離心力/向心力，去力/留力，還可以通過小趾（內腿）和𧿹趾（外腿）發力，打通先天腎經和後天脾經。
Cheng Ting Hua, the founder of Cheng style Bagua palm, was good at Shuaijiao (the fast style of wrestling) before he learned Bagua palm from Dong Hai Chuan, so there are many takedown techniques and concepts in this Bagua palm style.
Mud steps circle walking is the basic training in this style which originally from the Taoist Qigong “Zhuan Tian Zun”, it can help to gain the two pairs of the opposite forces: centrifugal and centripetal forces; moving forward and retaining forces, and also can unblock the kidneys(pre-heaven) and spleen (post-heaven) meridians.

This is great. A lot of Bagua applications online don’t look too good, these look really good.

[@Whiskey_Tengu]

Check out Hai Yang's techniques. I've never studied with him, he's in Montreal and I'm from the west coast USA, but his techniques are definitely impressive in terms of his speed, control and ability to apply the principles in his fighting techniques. He's also Cheng Style Baguazhang. Check his Xingyi out too.

[@bajuszpal172]

Yes, all the application on the beginning side. Tahnak you so much. Best regards.Paul,67

[@salvatoreplacidoplumari3840]

amazing! Didn´t know that pratical application of Bagua resembles grappling...

[@essentialbagua]

Solid applications, thanks for sharing

[@EddieEndriss]

Thank you Amazing content

[@sumchi3690]

This art reminds me a bit of Aikido.. a little.Just the concepts.Although obviously there is SO much more to it.

[@Ragingmarmot]

yeah, I'm guessing it's also about a thousand years older...

[@shelleyganz9095]

Ba Gwa is one of the supreme Gung Fu methods, to be sure...But, this is merely a very rapid demonstration, not, so much meant for, instructional purposes... : (

[@alainlaurent3693]

Shang Pu / Shuaì Jiào...i saw mobujia technique, guan, maybe lan tui... Chineese wrestling with différents stances, steps...well really chinese! But completly disconnect of reallity...street fight per example. Why this art very ancient are not efficient with western form combat the response it's simple you follow the art without blindly closed in your mind, in your tradition and you believes to honnored the ancient your father your sifu or lao she. No blame you, no, but i'm very sad cause i loved chinese's martial arts. The founders knew the good ways to take and knew how to do a right evolution and necessary evolution to still in time face in real combats against others styles... change it's not betrayed! Just to pursuive the master will. Just evolve and progress always built in the basics principles who made Ba Gua Zhang Time to born again 🤜✋ Li Ma Al Long

[@king_pinmax7189]

there is fight on youtube where a suposed bagua guy fought a kickboxing guy and tried to apply a tehnique similar to 0:53. Yeah,you all can imagine how that turned out......

[@jameslim2002]

The application he gave here was not correct. This move is only used when someone tries to lock your arm

[@SuraNostriLs]

[@Randomtube_94]

I realise that most baguazhang techniques are from wrestling correct me if I wrong

[@navigatingel6104]

Depends on the style I think

[@mr.k3221]

Yes i agree, tai chi as well is almost all grappling

[@bushidofreakz]

Yess!! Dong HaiChuan and YinFu worked for Royal Palace and regularly went to Mongolia to collect tax. Imagine how those proud Mongols wouldn't want to pay and he had to subdue and in the process he must have learnt a huge deal of ShuaiJiao as well from Mongols

[@Th0ughtf0rce]

Cheng bagua especially. Yin bagua also has grappling and throwing techniques, but very different body mechanics.

[@ДобрыйИнструктор]

02:40 👍

[@Insaight87]

perfectly demonstrated bullshido😂

[@jacobharris954]

So ankle picks don't work then

[@curtrod]

you know nothing

[@chinesebob7220]

That first one with the spin looks complicated and dangerous against a trained fighter.

[@jacobharris954]

It's a reversal from grab and standing arm bar

[@廣州武術]

師承孫志軍。

[@кочкорбайказаков]

🧘👍🤗🤲

[@selimdemirkol8333]

Çok güzel dans ama dövüş değil

[@curtrod]

wrong

[@houssamakrich8534]

Pov : you came from atla

[@velmadinkley4076]

True

[@change9929]

No wonder the Japanese were able to efficiently beat them up with karate.

[@emilsonlim8240]

You just get punch in the face from doing shit like that!!!! Boxing 52blocks judo ju jutsu works at some degree in tight spaces .

[@mountainpeakcloud8442]

Cheng Hai Ting, the founder of the style they're practicing, was a champion wrestler. I think he would disagree with you.

[@ItsKeysama]

That's why Bagua teaches you to move around in circles so that you don't get into tight space situations. And even if you were, it teaches you to be elusive and counter. Plus, it is based on wrestling, and wrestling is far more effective than boxing.

[@curtrod]

you don't understand high level skills

[@montu492]

Lund fighting

[@少川靖男]

old ? yes, but never fought in a real fight all his life. Won't last 0.5 seconds in a fight.

[@curtrod]

ridiculous

[@thadream_13_10]

No touch of deaths, not a master

[@thadream_13_10]

@Someone who know how to they prolly don’t use a fight stick

[@andrewmckay5103]

My God.. People are delusional if they think this is what Dong Hai Chuan fought like inside the palace walls. This looks just like form interpretation.. Not combat application of bagua.. I dare say that this lineage lost its combat art.. Just like most of the others. No idea about Bagua combat..

[@curtrod]

you're totally incorrect
