Bagua Zhang: How to Create a Walking Concertina

In this video, I offer an overview of bagua zhang mud stepping techniques, including how to keep from bobbing up and down as you Walk the Circle.

I’ve studied both the monastic bagua tradition (focusing on the Single Palm Change) and the bagua zhang (martial) tradition—including learning all Eight Mother Palms—with Bagua Lineage Holder Bruce Frantzis in private and public tuition since 1987. I’ve taught bagua with the encouragement of my teacher since 1995.
