wu dang ba gua

      

 BA   GUA  ( wu dang cave ba gua )


  This wu dang ba gua style which  is from  Zhang San Feng  north linage, was called cave ba gua as well  among the martail art circle at that time. Because it was practiced secretly, kept secret and it was thought to only selected internal disciples at that time. 


In general ba gua  is one of the unique kun g fu system among all other martial art styles.  One of the reason is that ba gua  is performance around  the circle.  This is yin - yang circle, but this circle performance is non directional and multi directional. 


Regarding to its theory, even though,  same as tai chi and xing yi , theory - principles are  based on ancient Chinese philosophy, traditional Chinese medicine and other Chinese  cultural  elements.  

 ba gua is not different because of circle performance, ba gua consist of tai chi and xing yi principles combined.  Briefly,  the fluidity and interconnectedness among attacks, defence movements, strikes, locks and throws indicates its characteristics. The complicated and directional changes of kicks, arm strikes, defences and counter attacks can be from different angles, while using circular and spiralling actions. 

Actions around circle or spiralling actions  are at various low stances, facing mostly the centre and sometimes outside of circle, which implies change of directions. 


The  form which  contains the complex movements and stances, internal power, physical body mechanics,  is  based on the body rotation and mental state sharpness. 


All elements of actions are expected to be in coordination with the  energy and the physical  body mechanics.   Its movements  are sometimes slow and fast,  changeable quickly and  fluidly, moreover movements could be both hard – soft,  gentle.

 

Its imitated actions had been derived from hunting and also from the fighting skills of different animals such as  ;  dragon, tiger, snake, monkey, so on.
