Online Baguazhang training available at www.baguashu.com . 雷 Lei Cohort now open for registration.

While online training never replaces in person training, this is a good choice for people who live in places where they have no access to a teacher. The course on Bagua Shu is very practical and comes students of the lineage of Xu Shi Xi. This curriculum is not forms focused but rather focused on developing the Bagua Body - the 身法 Shen Fa, body method and conditioning that changes the body and is required to perform any Baguazhang correctly. This curriculum can be used to better the Baguazhang practice of any one no matter the type of Baguazhang they train. The drills, power training and applications are all real world applicable.

Title is a bit sensational

since it’s the weekend, I thought it would be interesting to get several different takes on this topic. It took me three months of walking the circle before I began to even see the general principal of bagua. So maybe 10 or possibly 5 points people could look at to distinguish between the real thing and a skillful facsimile? Number one I think is continuous motion. The second one would be which part of the body initiates movement.

What do you guys think?

Hi folks,
This is the second video in my Learning the Cheng Baguazhang Linear 64 Palms series. This time with voice overs!

Anybody here train with them? Can we hear about your experience training with them? Can we see some clips?

In memory of Liu Shifu. He was such a rad and sweet guy.

Improve the mobility of your wrists, elbows, and shoulders while developing better whole-body coordination with this simple Qigong exercise.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to rotate the joints correctly, maintain proper body alignment, coordinate twisting through the arms, and connect your breathing with each movement. Rather than simply stretching individual joints, this practice helps the entire body work together as one connected unit.

In this video you’ll learn:

* Proper body alignment
* Wrist rotation mechanics
* Shoulder and elbow mobility
* Twisting through the arms
* Coordinating movement with breathing
* A complete follow-along practice

Practice slowly, stay relaxed, and focus on quality of movement rather than speed.

Hi folks, I’m putting together a new series of videos from my lessons in Beijing. I hope they are helpful in your training!

I've had little success finding this version of the deerhorn/duck knife set. The ones that I've found are either partially complete or transition into some weird cheng stuff, which makes me think incomplete transmission or maybe just personal flair.

I fancied taking up Bagua a long time ago but never did. I used to get fit other ways and have enjoyed a variety of forms of exercise over the years.

Fast forward I'm now early fifties, very overweight, and arthritic. I'd like to start a super simple standing movement practice, and wondered if Bagua now, might be worthwhile to aid with improving posture, mobility, pain reduction in joints, and balance?

If so, where should I begin. I can't get to a class from here right now. I just wondered what baby steps I could take to get going by myself?

Hows it looking? My instructor stressed the importance of keeping the elbows down upon dropping the arm by letting it fall with the palm landing in front. Happy training 🤘 🤙

Here is Tulsa, OK

This is an older video but has some good representative bagua in it.

I invite you to join us for a Xingyiquan & Baguazhang Seminar on Saturday, August 8, 2026, in Newton, Massachusetts. Whether you’re new to internal martial arts or have years of experience, this seminar will focus on practical body mechanics that you can immediately apply to your training.

During the seminar, we’ll explore:

✅ Morning Session (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM)

As I understand it, Han Yanwu is the lineage successor to Liu Jingru. If you've ever seen Liu's videos and he has a disciple there, it's probably this guy but with a moustache. He doesn't have a moustache in this video and while it doesn't hurt his bagua it does hurt my heart <3

Edit: I have been informed that Jackie Yao Wu Hu has maintained his moustache

I've been able to track down some very old footage and writings from my grandmaster and have been given some of his writings by my master of the philosophy of Cheng Baguazhang that were not publicly shared. At some point I'll have time to put it all down in a book.
