- In this video Master NRouHua explains the most basic principles of Cheng BaGuaZhang Stepping.
Ni Shrfu is a 6th generation master who trained with the 4th generation Master LiuXinHan From 1980 until Liu Shrfu’s death in 1996.
Stepping and the practice Circle Walking are the cornerstone of BaGuaZhang. This video provides a clear example of these tequneques with explanations on how to practice and improve them.

This video is extraordinary, I don't know if people realize how hard these movements are, and the level of mastery this teacher has, at this age. 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!
I’m in a different lineage, but this kind of training is the gold. Some people always want to know the “secret” “indoor” training, but in reality, that stuff is typically just the icing on the cake once you have the real gong fu. The stuff that matters the most for real development is usually the stuff you learn in the first few classes, if you have a good teacher.
the master says that the leg that is lifting should be in Totall relax mode....n then Slowly landing near to ground or counting to 9 n then gently landed on ground n then put all Streng on the leg that is ON the ground n then repeat n fully Relax on the one that is slowly lifting.... as u doing that YOU must also searching for IF there is any discomfort in any part of muscles or joints ... n pay attention to heal it.
I know how perfectly aligned that has to be and relaxed at the proper moments. I studied a swimming dragon style at one point but don’t know enough about the different forms or lineages.
Awesome. Similar to the Magui, Liu Wanchuan teaching. Thank you for sharing.
The basics are the top!
thx for posting!
nice video. good little demo there
Thank you for posting, this shifu is not hiding at all, thank you shifu NI.
+s loo
Ni Shrfu is pretty special.
outstanding
Thank you, beautifully clear!
I'm missing some context that seems assumed here. What's "gong fu" such that you want to develop it? And what's "ba gua" such that you want "gong fu" to turn into it?
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.
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.
haha, that's great, looks like the rays of sunlight are illuminating what he is demonstrating... beautiful!!!! ;) 1:05
Knowing how to walk...
Just out of curiosity, what did the master have to say when confronted by parks department staff about defacing the grass around the tree with his repetitive walking? I'm asking because folks have been banned from bagua walking in parks around my city for doing just that.
The BaGua families have a long history of practicing in TianTan and are a well known feature of the park. Also, they tend to train by the West Gate which is less of a tourist draw than the pagoda and other structures to the east and south so they are pretty out of the way. It also helps that the maintenance crews and the martial artists know each other pretty and are on good terms. All that said, it is China and things could change tomorrow.
You've GOT to be joking?
@@flyingtortoisekungfu6020I live in Australia and local councils would complain about it too , so it’s not a Chinese issue lol
Have people practiced circle walking around that tree so much the grass stopped growing where their feet wore down the ground? Or was that dirt put down around the tree like that specifically for practicing circle walking first?
I asked one of my uncles that a few years ago. according to him It's a combination of both. the ground takes about 8 months to properly pack and then dirt is added as it erodes over time.
@@flyingtortoisekungfu6020 Ahhh, I see! Thank you for the explanation! I've used your video as a reference to practice some circle walking at home. The focus you need to do it properly is intense!
I'm always excited when I come across a circle in one of the parks in Vancouver. It's rare but they're out there. There is even I know that is grown over but if you feel around its still there. Worn down into the earth.
Eye internal.
Just watching this, I'm imagining how uncomfortable it would be for me.
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.
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

Come on he,s to slow, this is why no one takes Chinese arts seriously
He is slow because this is strength and stability training. Going slow is extremely strenuous on the ankles, calves and core muscles. There is separate speed training that is not shown in this video.
In weight training, there are slow lifts that build sheer strength as well as explosive lifts that build power and speed. Same thing here.
Its called a cashectomy, there famous for brainwashing westerners and taking our money, and most can't use there art
Are you joking?
@@squareone2557 no i,m not joking, in muay thai or boxing they don,t teach you that slow, take all your money hahahaha
That mma fighter in China is kicking all those traditional artist ass,I love it!!! Why cause like I said these guys are.full of shit, you romanticism of these arts blind u from reality
