Sohan Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 I was wondering if there are any Bagua practitioners here. They study Bagua at our home dojo in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but we only incorporate some basics from the style in our karate training in Atlanta.Sounds exotic and interesting. I'd love to learn more if anyone here practices or has practiced it.With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

aefibird Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 I thought Bagua was a Chinese style? "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers!

Sohan Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 Here's a much better explanation of Bagua Zhang than I can give:http://www.shenwu.com/bagua.htmAnd here is a demonstration of a Bagua form:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icwEuTHsDKM&search=baguaI'd love to study the style, particularly now that I've been practicing Hung Gar, but it's quite the drive from Atlanta to Michigan. And I know of no one that teaches it in Atlanta.With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."
