Yin Style Baguazhang Lion System Overview

Recommended Posts

Update 9/2023 Andrew Nugent-Head removed the playlists previously provided at no cost from his YouTube. Now the different playlists can be purchased from his Teachable.

I hope this helps you with your practice as this is the foundation to start this style of baguazhang. One should ignore the other animals until one has put a good amount of time into Lion (two years at least).
