October… The air chills, the leaves change… October is a great time of year. The ancient Celts celebrated an important feast at the end of the month, called Samhain. At this time, the divisions between Worlds grow thin, & travel between them becomes possible.

The Contents of Swimming Body Bagua Interlocking Palm as practiced & taught by your Kung Fu Uncle.

While the choreography of the routines varies greatly, the technical…

Sun Style Baguazhang looks simple, but hides incredible depth. It combines complex Palm Changes with Fixed Patterns in a dynamic blend that trains both Stillness & Movement. This is one of my personal favorite Bagua routines. I hope you enjoy! #Bagua #KungFu #SunStyle

單換掌/Dan Huan Zhang – Single Changing Palm   一勢單鞭不為奇,左右循環乃為宜。 左換右兮右換左,抽身倒步自合机。   The First Pattern Single Whip isn’t unusual, only Left & Right Cyclying is proper.
