This 3-day retreat focuses on the internal martial art Bagua Zhang.

Bagua Zhang 八卦掌 is an internal system of martial arts similar to Taiji quan (Tai Chi Chuan). The hallmarks of Bagua are its circular stepping and its marvelous development and utilization of spatial awareness both within and outside of the body.  This gives the practitioner the ability to move and change direction with ease, to evade and neutralize the opponent, and to generate internal power.

Bagua Zhang, like Taiji quan, is comprised of a comprehensive system of internal martial arts and meditative practices. Bagua zhang is philosophically related to the Yijing, or “Book of Changes”. In its basic practice, special stepping techniques are used to walk a circle, while various coiling methods are used to change direction around the circle. Bagua zhang is as challenging to learn as it is beautiful.

Appropriate for beginners and advanced practitioners.
