First,
be advised that all of these VCD's are IN
CHINESE ONLY. In our opinion that doesn't matter much
because the instruction is clear and the quality of photography
very good. But we will not accept returns just because people didn't
read... IN
CHINESE ONLY. Given
that, these are really tremendous deals for the money. Each of these
special VCD's can be played on a computer for full enjoyment. Made
for PC's they are also Mac compatible by downloading Quick time (for
free) and any similar VCD player program. Also playable on most
DVD players. For less than $10.00? Wow!
Ba
Gua Zhang Yin Fu style GAO Branch
Gao
Ji Wu is a fourth generation inheritor of Yin Fu style Ba Gua Zhang.
He is from a distinguished family of three generations of BaGua
followers. Born in 1942 Gao Ji Wu's grandfather, Gao Wen Chang was
a disciple of Yin Fu and Liu De Kuan. His father, Gao Zi Ying, was
also a well known BaGua instructor who had studied under his martial
uncle, Guo Gu Min, the renown Xing Yi expert Li Cun Yi, Yang Chen
Fu and Yi Quan creator, Wang Xiang Zhai. Among the distinctions
Gao family style has 64 Palms for fighting applications. Weapons
include Saber and Elk Horn Knives.
NOTE: This might, more properly, be called Yin Fu style, Gao branch.
It is NOT the same as the other famous Gao style descended from
Gao Yi Sheng and, ultimately, from Cheng Ting Hua.
NOTE 2: This series comes in a variety of cover designs so don't be surprised if they look a little different from these representations.

VCD#993 Gao Style Fundamentals About an hour, $12.95 special price, Chinese only
Gao
BaGua fundamentals. Correct hand positions and walking patterns
that are so essential to really learning Ba Gua. The walking demonstrated
is, to our standards, definitely of a higher level than is often
shown. Very slow walking with controlled hand positions that correctly
torque the body.
VCD#807
BaGua
GAO
style Saber About
an hour, $12.95 special price, Chinese only
BaGua
Pian Shuan Dao with Hong Yin Xiang. This is a longish, involved
set performed with the large BaGua saber. Well constructed set representative
of the GAO branch of BaGua developed by Gao JiWu. Teacher Hong here
shows the breakdown with the aid of a student. What is distinctive
about this sat is the use of the left hand to momentarily treat
the saber in a double handed fashion at points in the form.
VCD#994 Yin
Style Mandarin Duck Knives About
an hour, $12.95 special price, Chinese only
Yuan
Yang Yue. Mandarin Duck Hooks. Not quite the same as Elk Horn knives
because they have small dagger like knives sticking out of them.
They are, however, used in essentially the same manner. This is
a good set with logical turns and excellent linkage of movements.
The BaGua here is authentic and strong with very clear instruction.

fighting, just walking), Swimming Body, Saber, Sword, Double Headed
Spear, Elk Horn Knives and BG sickles.
