Training

During the 18th and 19th centuries, Yin Style Baguazhang is reserved for professionals in security, law enforcement, and military units.  In modern times, the system is restructured for the everyday civilian, with adaptability for professionals. The Dragon System of Yin Style is an intensive training series that features foundation practices, advanced footwork, neuromechanics, as well as the Pushing, Lifting, Carrying, Leading, Moving, Capturing, Chopping, and Entering Strike Attack Methods. The comprehensive system is most suitable for cerebral and technical individuals who are patient in learning a new language of movement.

Bajiquan features explosive, short-range power and is renowned for its versatile elbow and shoulder strikes.  The system is simple and concise,  including long to short-range elbow strikes, arm/fist punches, hip checks, and strikes with the shoulder.  Wutan Bajiquan of Liu Yunqiao consists of three primary routines, Xiao Baji, Da Baji, and Linking. Regardless of the chosen tactic, we train as realistically and as safely possible, minimizing damage to the body while simulating live non-compliant attacks whether in an urban or combat sport setting.
