PRESENTATION

Open to all

Ba Gua Zhang " 8 Trigram Boxing" is one of the Three martial arts, such as Tai Ji and Xing Yi Quan, described as "internal art".The origin of its teachings is based on the Yi Jing sacred book "The Book of Mutations", which Confucius considered as belonging to the Classics of Chinese literature.

There are 8 styles of Ba Gua Zhang, among which the celebrated Yin Fu and Chengshi Ba Gua from Master Cheng Ting Hua.

Bagua specificity is based on the style of walking which is executed in circle, this is accompanied by powerful Palm Strikes. This technique enables a body to body control of the adversary in order to ensnare him. This handsome martial art seduces by its fluidity and the circular movements imposed on the whole body.Kicks are seldom used in Bagua Zhang, but weapons can be practiced such as light sword and Yin Yang Ye – a specific Ba Gua weapon.

During the first year the "WALK" will be studied together with the 8 basic Palm positions (Ji Chu Ba Zhang). 8 short forms will also be studied during the first year, these belong to the Cheng Ting Hua School.

During the second year, the 8 ancient Palms (Lao Ba Zhang) will be studied, together with 4 or 5 forms.
