Liang Baguzhang Kung Fu Lineage Ceremony at Dong HaiChuan's Tomb 4/27/2024
5th Generation Liang style Bagua Shifu Zhang Xuean takes on Flying Tortoise Kung Fu Instructor Chris Lum as his Disciple. Zhang Shifu has been my teacher and dear friend since 2013. Chris has been my student for over 10 years and has studied Zhang Shifu's Bagua that entire span. It was such a wonderful thing to see these two amazing people come together.
The ceremony was held at the tomb of Baguazhang founder Dong Haichuan. during the event Chris was able to pay respect at the tomb's and shrines of every deceased master of our line including:
1) Dong HauChuan
2) Liang Zhenpu
3) Li Ziming
4) Zhang JinMing
following the respects he took his vows to Zhang Xuean and became an official member of the 6th Generation of the Liang Clan with the Bagua name
Qiang Hulin or Mighty Forrest Tiger. As Kung Fu names go, its pretty good :)
If you would like to learn Liang Bagua ,Chris teaches our Kung Fu Fundamentals class every Thursday night from 6:00pm-7:00pm at The Flying Tortoise Academy www.flyingtortoise.org/junior-instructors/2023/2/6/chris-lum
Many well earned congratulations to Chris!!!

      @flyingtortoisekungfu6020 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It's an interesting version of the set for sure. Liu Mengeng was a wildly creative master. He was a scholar and combined his philosophical studies with his Bagua in some unique ways. As the 5th Generation Banner Holder under the LiuBin branch of the Cheng family it was his prerogative to do that. I haven't seem a Five Element version of the 8 Palms, Fists and Elbows anywhere else. My Shifu, Ni Rouhua is a 6th Generation Cheng. His version of the same form is vastly different. It consists of 6 sets. Palms, Fists, Elbows, Shang Pan (High Stance), Zhong Pan (Middle Stance) and Xia Pan (Low Stance). I don't have a great video of that form. Once of these days I'll film myself doing it and post it. I'm curious how your set differs.

    This master picks his feet up and sets them firmly down. I have seen (in videos) instructors shuffling in their stepping and it seemed wrong to me. As they stepped forward, the sole of their shoes would scrape on the ground so that you could hear it.

    • @flyingtortoisekungfu6020
      @flyingtortoisekungfu6020 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There are many methods of BaGua stepping and someone may have a good reason for dragging their feet. That said, I've never seen an experienced practitioner in Beijing of either the Cheng or Liang families drag their feet.

I am in pretty good shape, but I started doing this walk at home and the amount of tension it highlighted in my body, unbalances and tightness is humbling. I am definitely going to allocate time to practice this walk. This video is short but provides a ton of insights that other videos don't. Thanks!

    @jonpearl9392 ปีที่แล้ว

    No., the heel should touch and pivot. the stepping shoud be using the technique of earth step. Not walking with toes pointing around the circle. By doing that your feet are too close together when they pass each other rendering the stepping useless and the point of ba gua becomes moot. 8 steps around not many.

    • @flyingtortoisekungfu6020
      @flyingtortoisekungfu6020 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are many forms of stepping in the Cheng BaGua system. That said, I have not encountered the type you are describing in either Cheng or Liang style, and none of the many teachers I have worked with in Beijing set a number of steps per circle, still I am glad that you have found success with it in your practice. All the best, Joey
