The Grandmaster Li Ziming (Bagua Zhang) - Part One

[wushutiger]

Li Ziming was a 3rd generation inheritor of Bagua Zhang and was one of the last living members of his generation prior to his death in 1993. His contributions to the safe guarding of the art, the unification of the Bagua Zhang community as well as the reconstruction of Dong Haichuan's tomb are acts that the entire Bagua Zhang community is eternally grateful to him for. There are aspects of his life that are not well known outside of the Bagua Zhang community and are shown in this documentary series. He was a true hero who sacrificed everything for the art and its future.

He is also my direct Bagua Zhang grand-teacher within the Liang Bagua Zhang lineage. This documentary was compiled for the 100th commemoration of Li Ziming's birth and I have subtitled it and added additional info. It will be released in five parts.

Really nice doco, thanks for sharing Byron. Was vaguely aware that Dong Haichuan's tomb had been destroyed by the Red Guards but didn't appreciate how the campaign to re-build / move his tomb was initiated by M Li. Also great to see that they interviewed Zhao Dayuan and Li Gongcheng, always nice to hear from the teacher's close to disciples
