Society for the Study of Baguazhang
1. JIBEN GONG / BASIC WORK
This is not just a study of the position of hands or steps, but a whole group of individual developments contributing to the development of certain style conditions and qualities. Some are assembled to short bundles, some consist of one static position.
And this is very different from modern wushu textbooks, where at first the position of the hands and hands is shown, then positions, then blows or swings of legs, then shapes. Here we are talking more about a set of exercises and methods. For example, to develop the flexibility of the lumbar in the bagua, there is its own special technique for twisting the lumbar, which at the beginning is properly twisted and held, then long insisted in a twisted position in statics, then special exercises are performed in a dynamic mode, then using a tree or wall. But all subsequent forms of the bagua will directly depend on the mobility and degree of twisting of the lumbar, because one of the central values is given in the bagua lumbar.
There are the same exercises for the development of softness (jou gong), working out joints and so on.
2. HARDENING OF MUSCLES AND BONES
It is believed that without proper training of muscles and bones, you should not study and practice long forms in any way. If these aspects of the movement are not worked out, they will be clogged and non-living (bone and wooden), it is considered that
CI should penetrate the whole body, the bones should gain strength and elasticity, and not be fragile. For this purpose, there are special sets of exercises in the Bagua Zhang system, some of them resemble the world-famous "Eight Pieces of Brocade" (Baduan
Jing), or maybe borrowed, as there are many of its variants.
Other forms consist of separate developments that we can find in the system of traditional Shaolin training. I'll give you just some of these exemplinating exercises. A stick with a diameter of no more than its own palm (or less) is taken, embraced on both sides with the palms of the palms and squeezed inside, holding in this position with force to press the palms into each other. Start with a short time, alternate with pauses. Next, the pressure time is increased. At the same time, breathing should not be stopped, but learn at this time to calmly inhale and exhale through the nose, lowering it in the lower gates.
