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:

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.
