Ba Gua Zhang Seminar II in NYC – Sunday, August 9, 2009
DING SHI BA GUA ZHANG – FIXED POSTURE BA GUA ZHANG & APPLICATIONS
Due to popular demand we will be repeating the second in the series of Ba Gua Zhang seminars offered by New York Internal Arts (NYIA).
This seminar will focus on the Ding Shi, the fixed posture circle walking of Ba Gua Zhang. This is the key practice from which many of the other skills in Ba Gua are derived. The practice of Ding Shi combined with the “mud wading step” not only provides the foundation for maintaining structure while throwing and locking, but is the primary nei gong method that stores qi in the Dan Tien and actualizes the spiraling of energy through the body. Some practitioners feel that Ba Gua begins and ends with the Ding Shi – that it is simultaneously the most basic and the most advanced aspect of Ba Gua Zhang. Applications of each posture and their changes will be demonstrated and practiced.
Ba Gua Zhang Seminar II: DING SHI BA GUA ZHANG – FIXED POSTURE BA GUA ZHANG & APPLICATIONS will also be offered in Bridgeport CT on Saturday, August 8, 2009
