Ba Gua Taiji Quan
There are two types of Ba gua Taiji Quan: one is created by Zhao Yan, who is the head of the Zhao Bao Taiji Quan. As we know, zhao Bao has plenty of disciples in Shan Dong Province, and this is the reason why Ba gua Taiji Quan become more and more popular in the world, and a great number of people, who pay much attention to their physical and mental health, prefer to learn Ba gua Taiji Quan instead of other sports.
Ba gua Taiji Quan absorbs the theory and the form of the spirit of Ba Gua, which enables the Ba gua Taiji Quan enthusiasts to grasp the methods quickly. The quintessence of Ba Gua is to keep the balance in one's life with regard to one's own needs and the needs of others. This situation requires the people to change their mind and pick up sports for survival. People have widely accepted the importance of the sports but most of them lack of passion and patient to keep it on.
Ba gua Taiji Quan derives from a casual stroy. Once, Yang, Luchan,who is the grand-teacher of Ba gua Taiji Quan, and Guo, Yunshen took part in the competition together. During the brilliant and wonderful competition, both of them had an exciting idea all of a sudden. The idea is that, although the three kinds of the boxing have their own features in terms of their individual background and theory, the consistent spirits, and principles and criteria of three boxing have a general resemblance. Of course, a flow of idea about composing the three kinds of boxing suggested itself to Dong Haichuan’s mind so that he tried his best to compile a new kind of boxing which would exert a great of positive influence on the history of Taiji, and then Ba gua Taiji Quan was created.
