Buddy Posted June 25, 2006 Hi Mike, Yes, BK Frantzis talks in his " the power of internal martial arts" book about how bagua can be a meditation on the 8 energies of the i ching. 1 Do you agree with this?  Perhaps, Kumar never taught this stuff and we were always more interested in bagua's more practical aspects. I think the association of baguazhang with the Yijing only tends to take a student off the task of learning the physical methods.  2 Do you teach this? No.  Thank you  Your welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandTrinity Posted June 26, 2006 Csan you give us more details about your teachings? Perhaps explain how to correctly do that twisting chi kung B.K. is popular for? Thatd be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buddy Posted June 26, 2006 Hi, I'm happy to explain but I don't know which gong you are referring to. Buddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) I am guessing he is referring to the swing excercise Buddy. Â If so I asked you the same thing before and you said it can only really be learned in person I think. Â Cameron Edited June 27, 2006 by Cameron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buddy Posted June 27, 2006 The swings are described in Kumar's first book. I would add one caveat, though. When doing the swing (paricularly the first) you should bend the knees when facing forward, but raise up straight to the sides. This will prevent any tugging on the sacrum. Some of the best work I have seen is by Pete Egoscue. His books (Pain Free, etc) are just top notch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandTrinity Posted June 28, 2006 This little tip seems to help it A LOT. I have the first revision of this book, but some weird energy has been telling me to avoid look at it much. Does the seconds revision have any major changes, you know of? Â Also, the way BK does these swings rather fast seems pretty wild, perhaps it should be done slower? He goes so damn fast on the Wu Tai Chi video, I said forget this! If he did that Wu Tai Chi video real slow, it would be awesome!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buddy Posted July 7, 2006 Sorry, I haven't seen the revised version. The swings are done initially slow then amped a bit so you can strike your body (pai da). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christoph Posted July 7, 2006 What is the Qigong like in Bagua compared to Healing Dao?? I am interested because there is a school near my house but it is rather expensive. I went and watched a class but that night was the martial aspects which I am not interested in. The school is owned by Park Bok Nam. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
