Beginning A New Path

I've always been very curious about Baguazhang. It seems like such a mysterious art, filled with stories of skilled martial artists and exponents wielding skills with blades, and empty hands, dealing with challenges and growth. I'd had experience with Tai Chi Chuan and with a variety of martial arts. After a several month period of inactivity, I decided to pursue learning Baguazhang.

For those who are unfamiliar with Baguazhang, from what i've found out in my research, is that Baguazhang is one of the three major schools of Chinese Internal Martial Arts. The founder is credited to be Dong Hai Chuan, pictured above. The predominant characteristics of Baguazhang, are walking in circles, with varying types of hand motions or palm changes.

In this blog I'll be posting some of the things I have learned and experienced in my baguazhang journey. Hope you enjoy reading and sharing with me.
