Introduction to Baguazhang
Baguazhang is one of the three main schools of Chinese Internal Martial Arts (the others being Xingyichuan and Taijiquan). This art includes movements, strategies, postures inherited from a more martial era, embedded in a variety of forms, most often practiced around a circle. Each of the postures contains unique story, attitude, and energetic frequency.
Both a martial and self-healing art, Baguazhang can also be described as a form of embodied daoist cosmology, resonant with the I-Ching systems used for mapping patterns of change across all scales. In this way, each of the Eight Trigram Palms, and Eight Animal Methods in particular, can offer an experiential way to shift consciousness, state of mind, and patterns of behaviour.
