The Cheng style is something else. Thank you for showing rare footages of actual applications, they are incredibly raw and beautiful.

This is my style of choice. I'd love nothing more than to find a school in China that teaches Baguazhang. The use of chin na combined with the back and forth walking as well as small circle walking lends itself very well to wrestling

[@MuShinMartialCulture]

Where in China are you?

[@camrendavis6650]

@@MuShinMartialCulture I haven't been to China yet. I plan to visit in a few years once covid clears and I learn Mandarin. I was planning on going to Hubei at or around Wudang Mountain to learn. I am also aware that it is very popular in Beijing and that there are a few different styles taught there. Do you know of anywhere I could train?

This is the best video yet that I have seen on bagua Zhang. A long time ago I read a description of it and was intrigued by it ever since. However I could find nothing about it in books or videos. I am a huge fan of the book of changes and have 4 different translations of it. I also have the analects of Confucius, Tao te ching, the book of Mencius,and several about Daoism. Plus I have a book on ancient Chinese philosophy. I am very interested about developing Qi internal power. The best thing about this video is that it showed the practical self defense applications of bagua Zhang. I live near Atlanta Georgia USA but can't seem to locate anybody who teaches it here.

[@MuShinMartialCulture]

Glad you liked the video. I do have an online learning program if you arent able to find a teacher. There are already a many lessons available in the library with new videos every week. It is the "Hua Jin" tier: www.patreon.com/mushinmartialculture

Nice to see Liu Xing Han at 1:59. I was wondering why he (or any of his students really) wasn't in the Historic Gathering videos....

[@MuShinMartialCulture]

There were a few families that didn't participate. For example, many people from my Liang family didn't either

[@papasight7365]

@@MuShinMartialCulture the positive to all of that is we saw some Bagua stylizations that aren't seen very often at least in the mainstream, or at the least I wasn't aware of them.

Somewhere along the way the fighting art has turned into a dance

Depends on who is doing it though

Some thing seems to have changed.when we constantly see so called Chinese boxing masters being humiliated by mma fighters. Back in 1900.the empress body guards would have killed them with one blow many years ago I was taught the iron palm system and won many fights with a block or one or two blows I love to watch the forms but where has the win a fight with one blow gone

[@MuShinMartialCulture]

@@robertcrowther8202 I think you may want to watch the interviews I did with Xu Xiaodong to get some insight into the most visible matches you mentioned above. The reality is most of the guys going out to challenge the MMA guys etc are simply deluded fools, frauds or both.

[@robertcrowther8202]

I remember years ago seeing a film of a aikido master with a line up of karate black belts he threw each one down and mimed a blow on them they went all out no pretending to kick and punch him but he put them all out of action also I remember a okinowen karate master who had won every challenge with out striking a blow just using a block to break a leg or arm I'd like to see a boxing master showing the same skills not dancing or walking in circles
