Ba Gua Zhang is one of the internal martial art styles of China, also known as You Shen Ba Gua Lian Huan Zhang (游身八卦连环掌) which means the Swimming Body of the Turning Ba Gua Form. This internal martial art was created by Dong Hai-chuan (董海川) in Beijing during the 19^th century. Ba Gua Zhang is widely known for its “circle walking” and its circular movements; however, it is its micro circular movement combined with its internal movements that generate remarkable internal power. Practicing Ba Gua Zhang can generate health and clarity of the mind as well as teach you effective fighting techniques.
