This seminar will introduce the Marital arts/Qigong of Baguazhang. The seminar will cover Animal Characteristics of Bagua, which will cover Animal Qualities, and Animal Postures. Next we will go over basic Bagua warm ups such as: Rise, Drill, Fall, and Overturn, Dragon looks back, Slapping water and a few others. Then we will look at how the Coiling Silk energies, which is apart of the characteristics of Bagua, which emphasize circular, coiling, spiraling dragon like movements. These movements are elusive, adaptable, and when applied in combat, you are able to spiral around opponents limbs, striking, trapping, locking, and throwing them (This requires a lot of practices and understanding of the methodology, principles and concepts of bagua). All these elements of movement help cultivate both internal and external development of strength, flexibility and Qi. Next we will introduce basic bagua footwork, which will lead to an Intro of Circle walking. Finally we will conclude the seminar with BP Chan’s “8 Animal postures” while walking a circle (Which was taught to Sifu Kelly by Kenneth Cohen/Gao Han).
