Ba Gua can be viewed
as the most philosophically complex of the internal styles with its focus on
movements made as the practitioner moves in a circle around a central point,
following the circular motion of yin and yang. Some see it as a magnificent
kung fu dance, with then snake like twisting motion of the body swaying to an
inaudible beat, but its power, like Xing Yi, is subtle and the application of
Ba Gua moves are also highly effective in attack/defence situations. Practice
of this style will increase the student’s speed of movement, all over body
flexibility, and the high demands of the difficult footwork will improve
balance and leg strength.
