Unlock the Secrets of Dragon Style Bagua Zhang

A Complete Internal Martial Arts System Rooted in Tradition and Revealed in Full for the First Time

Welcome to the Dragon Style Bagua Zhang (Eight Trigram Palm) Course — a comprehensive and progressive training system that draws directly from ancient Taoist lineages, yet breaks new ground by unveiling higher-level teachings that have traditionally remained closed to outsiders.

This is more than a martial arts course. It is a transformational journey into the heart of an internal system designed to cultivate energy, develop combat skill, and harmonize body, mind, and spirit.

What is Dragon Style Bagua Zhang?

Bagua Zhang (Pa Kua Chang) is one of the three major internal martial arts of China, alongside Tai Chi and Xingyi. Known for its unique circular walking, fluid turning palms, and mysterious internal power, Bagua is not merely a martial discipline — it is a Taoist alchemical practice for physical vitality, energetic development, and spiritual clarity.

The Dragon Style of Bagua preserves these internal roots with precision and purity. In this course, you’ll walk the same circle as the ancient adepts — but with modern guidance to unlock your full potential.

A System Passed Down — Now Open to the World

Historically, the advanced layers of Bagua training were passed only from master to disciple, behind closed doors. Many public teachings barely scratch the surface — offering basic stepping and palm changes without the internal integration or combat functionality.

This course changes that.

For the first time, the complete Dragon Style curriculum is revealed in a clear, structured, and accessible way — from foundational exercises to rare, high-level internal methods.

Whether you're new to internal arts or have practiced for years, this course will deepen your skill, refine your energy, and elevate your understanding of what real Bagua Zhang was meant to be.

What You Will Learn

Traditional Foundations

  • Circle Walking Meditation: Discover the root of Bagua — a moving meditation that aligns breath, structure, and intention.

  • Eight Animal Palm Changes: Train the classical animal-based movements that each reflect different energetic and martial principles (e.g., Dragon, Snake, Swallow, Lion, Bear, and more).

  • Yin and Yang Turns: Master the art of alternating direction and intention with the 64 Yin and 64 Yang turning sequences, practiced at all eight stations of the circle.

  • Internal Mechanics: Learn how to connect movement from the dantian (energy center), harmonize the body through the six directions, and use whole-body power.

Energy Cultivation and Taoist Alchemy

  • Five Element Standing Meditations: Rooted in Taoist cosmology, these postures balance internal organs and awaken elemental forces within your body.

  • Red and White Dragon Nei Gong: Rarely seen outside the temple walls, this system of energy circulation and spinal activation works directly with the Little Nine Heaven Grand Circulation — a method used to refine and circulate spiritual energy.

  • Dao Yin Jian Gong – Eight Daoist Exercises: Blend breathing, intent, and motion to purify the meridians and open the body’s internal pathways.

Combat Application and Two-Person Skills

  • Two-Person Drills and Techniques: From joint locks and throws to evasions and counter-attacks, you’ll learn how Bagua’s spiraling movements apply directly to real-world martial situations.

  • Energy Sensitivity Training: Feel and redirect incoming force through partner practices, bridging the gap between softness and strength.

  • Strategic Movement and Spiraling Evasion: Understand how to walk the circle not only as a meditation, but as a strategic battlefield tool for surrounding and neutralizing opponents.

Why This Course is Different

✔️ Authentic Lineage-Based Material – Taught exactly as it was passed down, preserving the essence of internal martial art.

✔️ Never-Before-Revealed Teachings – Includes content that has remained hidden in private transmission, such as the 64 Animal Turn patterns, Red & White Dragon energy cultivation, and advanced standing meditation postures.

✔️ Structured for All Levels – Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned internal artist, the course is layered in progressive levels, making even the most advanced methods accessible with time and dedication.

✔️ Integrated Approach – This is not just forms and movement. You’ll train breath, energy, combat, meditation, and internal development in one cohesive system.
