First,
be advised that all of these VCD's are IN
CHINESE ONLY. In our opinion that doesn't matter much
because the instruction is clear and the quality of photography
very good. But we will not accept returns just because people didn't
read...IN CHINESE ONLY. Given that, these are really tremendous
deals for the money. Each of these special VCD's can be played on
a computer for full enjoyment. Made for PC's they are also Mac compatible
by downloading Quick time (for free) and any similar VCD player
program.Also playable on most DVD players. For less than $10.00?
Wow!
BAGUA

well known master in China, LiuJingRu has grasped the essence of

VCD#36 BaGua Cheng
style Cheng Style 8 Palms
About 1 Hour, VCD pricing, Chinese Only
Here
is a demonstration and a breakdown of the Eight Palm Changes of
the Cheng style of Ba Gua- one of the most famous. The basic form
(Tao Lu) is done in a field and the instruction in a studio. Very
clear movements and the teaching is quite lucid. A nice form with
sophisticated palm changes and a long stepping method. Also, the
general movements of the teacher, Liu Jing Ru, are well practiced,
pleasant and professional. To our mind a traditional sequence with
possibly some more contemporary influence but basically solid and
respectable. And all Eight Changes for this price! A great reference.
