Cheng Style Bagua Series (5/8): Bagua
San Shou by Ma Lincheng VCD |
 |
|
There is a lot of
talking on this disk in an effort to explain the nature of Ba Gua fighting.
Then, lo and behold, the applications actually look like they came from this
particular art and not, say, Xing Yi.
Bagua is one of the three major internal Chinese martial arts, the other two
being Xingyiquan and Taijiquan. Bagua literally means "eight trigram palm,"
referring to the trigrams of the Yijing, one of the canons of Taoism. In some
styles of Baguazhang these diagrams can refer to eight animals, upon which
movements in those fighting systems are based. Bagua is believed to have been
composed in the 19th century by Dong Haichuan in accordance with Taoist
theories. The movements cover eight directions as marked out in the Eight
Diagrams in the Book of Changes, a classic work on divination. Bagua Zhang or
Eight-Diagram Palm features dexterity and agility. When moving around it is like
walking in a muddy place, with foot steps changing all the time like running
water. Palm tracks and body movements follow one after another. The roving
around looks like endless circles which overlap one another. The body turns
around from the waist during walking, roving, turning, rising and falling. Palm
tricks change with the movements of the body. When the upper body protrudes, the
lower part of the body squats back to keep balance. When the arms are sent out,
the feet are drawn back. The performer is required to "move like a swimming
dragon, stare like a watchful monkey, sit like a crouching tiger and turn like a
hovering eagle.
Master Ma LinCheng is 4th generation inheritor of Cheng Tinghua style Bagua Palm
and 6th-level master of chinese national wushu. Master Ma is also a senior bagua
instructor in China. And it is going to be an splendid experience to learn Basic
Skill from professional Kung Fu master Ma LinCheng.
Although the instruction in this video is given in Chinese
Mandarin and NO English subtitles provided. That is not a major problem as the
teachers are of the highest caliber and the demonstrations are clear. Handworks
and Footworks are clearly demonstrated with master’s well structured
instructions. Each of the important movements are given repeatedly with slow
motion camera slots. For people who DOES NOT speak Chinese, it is also a
beneficial Kung Fu reference.
