rene Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks for posting those. Watching , the last one on your list, almost felt intrusive. Like watching someone who is deep in prayer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buddy Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) I'm glad you liked them. I've posted my teachers elsewhere on the site. But I didn't want this to be about me. Edited January 31, 2008 by Buddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve Posted January 31, 2008 Very nice clips. I'm really impressed with Sun Zhi Jun. His footwork and body movement is incredible. I don't know about the Zhang Zhaodong clip - to me his stepping seems a little heavy and his concentration a bit inconsistent. Maybe it's the long grass and uneven ground but his demo left me a bit cool. It's also possible that it's just my lack of knowledge of him or his style. Any comments? I'm here to learn.

From my limited point of view Sun Zhi was superior. He was completely relaxed and flowing with his torso hanging. Zhang Zhaodong was uneven not relaxed or dropped and his behind sticking out.

Buddy Posted January 31, 2008 That guy was from the Zhang line, not Zhang himself (who is dead). Zhang was a Xingyi man before learning baguazhang so that might influence their stepping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cameron Posted January 31, 2008 I am thinking of going back to study Kenny Gong's Shingyi and Bagua. I like that people can practice these systems into old age and get stronger even as they age and keep training. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mal Posted February 1, 2008 I like that people can practice these systems into old age and get stronger even as they age and keep training. The sign of a true martial art IMHO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wun Yuen Gong Posted February 1, 2008 Does anyone know the bagua circle walk mantras? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christoph Posted February 8, 2008 Beautiful vids.I like the movement and apparent health of the practitioners. I started Bagua a few months ago and unfortunately I am finding it extremely boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
