This DVD is a great bargain -- 2 1/2 hours of instruction on one disc. It's one way Sifu Ken Gullette tries to boost the quality of DVDs while keeping the price down. Most instructors would either put less information on the DVD or split it into two discs at a higher price.
Bagua is an amazing art known for circle-walking, fast changes, palm strikes, throws and takedowns, and chin-na. This DVD provides instruction in the basic skills that will give you the foundation to learn this art.
Many people want to learn advanced techniques too soon. It takes years to develop skill in the basic techniques. The instruction on this DVD includes all the basic techniques required for first-level bagua students who learn from Sifu Gullette.
Baguazhang Basic Skills offers instruction--with an emphasis on body mechanics--in the following:
***Circle-walking, circle-walking patterns, and other stepping techniques.
***Switching exercises, the 8 mother palms and their fighting applications.
***Tea-Serving exercises and their fighting applications.
***Stationary pole exercises.
***Moving pole exercises and their fighting applications.
***The Cheng-style 8 Basic Palms form -- a demonstration and specific instruction in each movement, with an emphasis on body mechanics.
***Fighting applications for the movements in the 8 Basic Palms form.
Very few bagua DVDs go into the body mechanics you need to accomplish the internal movement, especially the silk-reeling that's so important to bagua. Sifu Gullette's aim in putting this together was to provide information that can help students of any bagua style. Students are urged to first study the material on Sifu Gullette's Internal Strength and Silk-Reeling DVDs before tackling this material.
