The style is practiced along straight lines, emphasizes power releasing, dodging, opening, moving fast; whole body is used in movement and the power has to reach toes and fingers.

Mr Gao has been practicing martial arts since the age of 6 and learnt Bagua Boxing from famous master Yang Tingbi. He is accompanied by his son Gao Yixue. This set is a rare opportunity to see a martial art that has never left its natural environment of Chinese countryside and hence has never been "polluted" by the need to make movements better looking and more flowery so that they would please more "sophisticated" city people or judges in competitions. Please note that Bagua Boxing presented on this set is not the same style as Baguazhang (Eight Trigram Palm) The instructions cover not only the choreography of
movements but also their fighting applications. Note: Entire set (4 discs/4 boxes) is sold for discounted price of USD38.00 (costs of Handling and Shipping by Airmail INCLUDED). |
