DVDs: GAO Style Ba Gua
Luo De Xiu is one of the main representatives in Taiwan of the Gao Style of Ba Gua which is often distinguished by its "Line Work." Gao style shows many aspects of its applications in a straight line, Xing Yi style fashion which makes some principles easier to understand and master. Each DVD shows each divided into three parts: the introduction to the straight line Gao exercise; the group practice of the exercise; the instruction on applications of the exercise. Luo speaks English most of the time - the presentation was done in Colorado - but it is strictly ambient recording so some is lost. His teaching, though is brisk and self explanatory. His hands are educated and direct.Luo was a senior student of Hong Yi-Xiang, and studied Gao style with several of Zhang Jun Feng's top people. He also studied under Sun Xi-Kung's student Liu Jian.
