After Tai Ji Quan, Ba Gua Zhang is the most famous style of internal martial arts in China. Ba = 8, Gua = oracle sign, trigram, Zhang = palm, open hand; Ba Gua Zhang, therefore, means “martial art of the 8 trigrams”. As in Tai Ji Quan, inner energy is also generated and cultivated here and the use of raw strength is dispensed with. Ba Gua Zhang consists of 8 “small” forms and is practiced walking in a circle, with 8 steps completing the circle. Like the other internal arts, Ba Gua Zhang is also very beneficial for health, concentration, and physical and mental stamina. 28th May and 4th June 2024 19:00 - 20:45 Holzhausergasse 5. register by e-mail contact.wudang.wien@gmail.com https://wudang.wien/
