Bagua Zhang

I recommend the following instructional videotape/DVD:

"Traditional Bagua Zhang, Basic Form and Applications for Beginners and Seniors."
By Jiang Jian-ye. Shifu Jiang teaches an introductory form from the system of the Bagua Zhang founder Dong Hai-Chuan. He provides detailed instruction in each palm form with a verbal explanation and numerous reptitions, presented from different angles and at different speeds. He demonstrates applications for each posture of the form. Hand movements, stepping, turning, postures, and circle walking are all taught. Part 1 and Part 2 on VHS videotape or DVD format. New York, Capital District Tai Chi and Kung Fu Association of New York, 1997.
Part 1, 97 Minutes, Color.
Part 2, 97 Minutes, Color.
Shifu Jiang's Tai Chi Videos.

I continue my work on updating the Cloud Hands webpage on Bagua Zhang.
