​Ba Gua Zhang , like any art form, has a foundation practice. This involves continuous circular twisting and spiral motion, producing a unique quality of energy storage and delivery which is the trademark of Ba Gua Zhang.

​

The famous circle walking practice is a developmental skill  that allows you to learn how to use this coiling and twisting to create lines of force within one's body, to be expressed by redirecting an opponents attack.

​

​Ba Gua is famed for unpredictable angles of attack, to be and to move where your opponent cannot, and the confidence to achive success.

​

Ba Gua ( any internal martial art) can reach the stage of spontaneous expression. But one has to go through the foundation stage of practice to get to this level.
