This rare & unusual staff form belongs to the internal school of Chinese martial arts. Historically it traces back to a Ming dynasty female general and her personal troops. The staff form was later incorporated into the Tai Chi system.
With Elements similar to Ba Gua and Chen Tai Chi, this form is excellent at increasing internal and external coordination, and extending the tai chi energies through the staff. This staff system has a large body of two person practice as well as the solo form. These include joined staff methods similar to push hands as well as application of movements from the form.

Underlying the physical structure of the body is a system of openings and pathways that connect
all layers within the body, and interface with the outer environment.
Understanding this system of caves and channels is fundamental to developing deep skill in the study of qigong, internal martial arts, Nourishing Life, Taoist practice, and Chinese medicine.
This series will explore these channels and caves, and their functions, from the perspective of Taoist practice, internal cultivation, nourishing life, and martial arts.
