Taiji Bagua Quan of Fu Zhensong, 20th January 2018

Postby Yeung on Wed Dec 13, 2017 4:17 pm

There will be a three hour introductory workshop on the Taiji Bagua Quan of Fu Zhensong on Saturday 20th January 2018, 10 am to 1 pm, at the upper hall of Trinity Methodist Church, Royland Road, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 2EH:

The following is a link to Fu Zhensong:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fu_Zhensong

There are too many details which are not correct but this will give you some general idea of the person Fu Zhensong.

The difference between Baguaquan and Baguazhang is that Baguaquan is a system of martial arts like Xingyi QUAN, Taiji Quan, Hong Quan, etc., while Baguazhang or the Bagua Palm is a routine of the Baguaquan school. Very little is documented on his Baguaquan and the skills of not using brute force, continuity, strength development and springiness are very difficult from a pedagogical point of view. Baguaquan was traditionally taught to people with a strong background in martial arts maybe this is why most people just learned a routine rather than a system.

The content of the workshop will include the followings:

1. Introduction section of Bagua continuity palm including Taiji posture, Yin Yang rotation of the crotch, Sixiang movements, and a short set to form the Bagua palm
2. Steps in Xingyiquan and Taijiquan and Baguaquan
3. Torso movements in Xingyiquan and Taijiquan and Baguaquan
4. Neutralization in Xingyiquan and Taijiquan and Baguaquan
5. The problems of crossing hands
6. Co-ordinations
7. Entrance to contact
8. Adhering

A contribution of £20 will be much appreciated to support further research on non-concentric exercise for extreme performance.

Lieutenant General Sun Bao Gang (1909-1990) was one of the 24th intakes of Chinese students from China by the Imperial Japanese Army Academy (陸軍士官学校 Rikugun Shikan Gakkō). He and others returned to China after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in China began on 18th September, 1931. He joined the Nationalist Army and while he was in Nanjing he learned Taijiquan from Sun Lutang (1860-1933). He stationed in Guangzhou in 1933 where he learned Baguaquan privately from Fu Zhensong (1872–1953) and trained regularly with him until the Sino Japanese war broke out in 1938. After the war in 1945 he met up with Fu Zhensong again until he was forced to leave China in 1949 by the Nationalist Government due to his political association.

Upon the invitation of the Hong Kong Chinwoo Athletic Association in 1966, he began to teach Baguaquan voluntarily in the association twice a week until a few months before he passed away in 6th September 1990.

He was very active in advocating the independence of Hong Kong until 1984 when Britain agreed to hand back Hong Kong to China in 1997. Since then he focused on improving what he learned from Fu Zhensong In memory of his contribution to the theory and practice of Baguaquan, the Association for Advancement of Pak Koa Martial Arts in Hong Kong published a book in his name entitled “The Theory and Practice of Baguaquan”.
