My fascination with Baguazhang began the moment I witnessed a demonstration of its fluid, continual movements and dynamic postures. That pivotal experience ignited a passion within me, driving me to immerse myself in this profound martial art for over 20 years.

 

I have had the privilege of studying under the esteemed late Master Erle Montaigue and his son Eli Montaigue, whose teachings have deeply enriched my understanding and practice.

 

Baguazhang is not just a martial art; it is a treasure trove of healing benefits, both physical and internal. The principles of Baguazhang are deeply rooted in the ancient Chinese Book of Changes (I Ching), with its unique emphasis on circular movements that distinguish it from other martial arts. These movements, coupled with the profound philosophies they embody, offer a pathway to holistic wellness and inner peace.

 

My own journey with Baguazhang has often been a solitary one, as the nearest class was over three hours away. This challenge led me to develop a distance learning system, meticulously crafted from class notes and various learning resources. It is this very system that I now share with you, ensuring that you have the tools and support needed to thrive in your practice, no matter where you are.

 

On our website, you will find a wealth of videos, articles, tutorials, and live classes designed to enrich your understanding and mastery of Baguazhang. All the information you need to connect with us and join our classes is readily available here. My vision is to build a healthy and thriving Baguazhang community, one where we can collectively experience and pass on the great benefits of this art. I invite you to embark on this journey with us and discover the transformative power of Baguazhang.

 

Thank you for being here, and welcome to our community.

 

With gratitude and respect,
