A 4-hour online video training program dedicated to understanding the body mechanics inside of 8-step bagua circle walking. Presented here by Wudang Daoist Swordsman Xia Chongyi, this video program approaches the practice of this unique footwork method from a whole new stance (pun intended), as he breaks down the stancework, the way each of the hips move, and how to adjust sizing and dimensions on the fly.

Xia has been studying bagua since 2001, under various instructors and styles. His focus now is on the merging of Wudang Taiyi Baguazhang principles with his Yin-derived dragon and phoenix practices. In this video series, Xia puts all styles aside, and focuses purely on the body mechanics. Teaching the method he has implemented to protect his knees for over 20 years of consistent training, Xia's focus on kinesiology will also allow him to transmit the most vital concepts of bagua circle walking via video.

This video series is broken down into 8 major lessons, followed by demonstrations, a practice review session, & future addendum videos as questions. These lessons will be:

1. External Orientation
2. Internal Alignment
3. The Stances
4. Mechanics, Exercises, & Drills
5. Walking the Circle
6. Adjusting & Sizing Your Steps
7. Changing Directions
8. Forms & Practice Methods

Also included in this video series is access to the community forums for asking questions, having discussions about the material together, getting announcements first, & more. Each video also has a comments section for you to ask questions for clarification on anything that might be unclear or spark an idea of your own to ask about. For those that would like to make sure they are practicing correctly, Xia also offers written and video responses to those that send their own practice videos in for personal review. All of these benefits are included when you purchase your video on any of our streaming platforms.

This video series comes at a 50% discount for those that have purchased the Quintessential Stancework video series first (available at http://daoistsword.vhx.tv only)
