Bagua Zhang (8 Trigram Palm)
We practice a system of Bagua Zhang that can be traced back to the Masters Yin Fu, Zhang Zhao Dong, and Tung Hai Chuan (The Founder).

- First Student of Tung Hai Chuan – Yin Fu
Students will follow the instruction of the Single & Double Palm Changes along with the Lion Stepping Circle Walking. Upon proficiency, they will learn Drills, Posture Holding, & more advanced Walking & Palm Changes in Linked sets.
