Baguazhang Circle Sparring.
File Size: 5,491 KB
Posted 04/01/2006
The bagua circle sparring is a combative
free fighting method that trains the students to fight using their senses while going all
out without hurting each other. The circle sparring is similar yet different from
the push hands (tui sao) training found in Tai Chi Ch'uan or the energy hands (chi sao)
training that is found in Wing Chun. The circle sparring trains you to be spontaneous
and to keep the all-important center
while moving through chaos.
Demonstrators: students Terri Miele, black sash level, and James Ware, yellow sash level (foreground). Students
Joe D'urso, green sash level, and Willard Stanback, yellow sash level (background). |

takedown.
