Tai Chi Chuan, Baguazhang & Hsing-I comparison and contrast (part 3)
BA Gua athlete is known for walking, biking and loops ranging from very tight and close circles to circles of approximately 30 meters in diameter and walking circle is a signature of the practice of Baguazhang. In as much as Hsing-I am very confrontational Baguazhang is very evasionary. In an epic battle between Dong Hai Chuan and an Hsing-I, master Kuo Yun Shen supposedly the fight went to 3 days before Dong Hai Chuan finally landed a hit on Yun Shen Kuo. (Of course if the 3-day part of the story is true, then it was more likely a friendly sparring and compare methods and techniques than a struggling match). After "game" two became great friends and was said to train with/from each other becomes reasonably skilled in the art. If you have read the previous post on Hsing-I, then you may have had questions about how someone can also fight against such an art, not to mention turn it. Basic answer is simply "Move" and "Evade".The best way to beat a straight line is to evade by moving in a circle around it; This is the Forte of Baguazhang.
The actual name of art, Ba Gua Chang, which translates as 8 Diagrams (shape) Palm. Baguazhang is a mix of hard and soft often use force but sometimes use softness as an art.Circles in all shapes and sizes from small non-scrubbing flip and pivot to quickly navigate around a large area such as a 30-foot circle are trained; Many different types of stepping are trained and internal energy policies are trained as well. In Baguazhang are many internal training methods including special types of energy Palmer as iron palm, vibrant palm, poison hand, penetration palm, crushing palm and others.
Tax evasion and accompanying measures movement skills is the primary movement of Ba Gua.BA Gua soothe and then immediately landed a devastating hand strikes which is supposed to finish the fight while still moving so that if the recipient actually survive strike and continues to attack they will still find Ba Gua physicians find it difficult to meet or even touching the circle walking and flanking remain constant until the situation has been completed; Art is entirely different and there are many different styles, moved and patterns can be found in the art of Baguazhang. The most common moves/methods are different types of circle walking and with an emphasis on education, diversity and quick way to change direction.Only Palm change is the most common move found in all Baguazhang system, even though most of the different styles of Baguazhang has its own version of the move that is slightly different from everyone else 's.
Of the 3 major internal arts, Baguazhang the most obvious physical complex patterns by hand and movement; This is not to say that it is better than the other two arts.Efficiency has fortunately not is complicated on the surface to work well in practice; So, do not exclude or underestimate the mere appearance of Hsing-I, or flowing movements of Tai Chi Chuan precisely because they are not physically appears as sophisticated as Baguazhang. There's a lot more happening in internal art than what meets the eye.
BA Gua is a barbed wire ball refers to the idea that a good Baguazhang practitioners break and you feel like you have only tangled with a ball of barbed wire, you do not have to bear it, but it is over you and even if you grab it somewhere, you may still be worse; the center of the ball and where and how the ball is striking, you can easily change at any time, you can only find softness you cannot hit with no effect, and every time you hit it with hardness as you cannot stop.
