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!

BaGua Cheng Style with Sun Zhi Jun

Born in Cheng village, the area where Cheng Ting Hua was born and famous for BaGua practitioners, Sun Zhi Jun is the real thing. In his seventies now he is mobile, fluid and limber. His mastery of not only hands but weapons forms is quite something. He has often been called one of BaGua's top fighters and his definitive movements back up this estimation. He is considered by some to be one of the best of the Cheng stylists. His movements are generous, changeable. Sometimes in these VCDs he moves so fluidly it is difficult to track him on the circle. In the 801 Series, each VCD starts with a general introduction and then one about BaGua and Sun, subtitled in ENGLISH! The only negative is that some editor felt the need, in the entire series, to occasionally speed up the action of the practitioners slightly. This is not from one of our standard film makers.

See background information on Sun Zhi Jun.

Sadly, a lot of these VCDs are now out of print. But you can visit our new page for Sun Zhi Jun DVDs! With english subtitles! What a treat!

And now, there is the remarkable new book in English, "You Shen Bagua Zhang Lian Huan" by Master Sun; 400 pages plus a DVD about 2.5 hours long, with demonstration and instruction by Master Sun himself...

VCD#1402 Cheng BaGua Swimming Dragon Basics
Double VCD, VCD pricing, Chinese only
Quantity

This original VCD set was FOUR disks. Now only TWO are available and those are disappearing rapidly. We see Sun Shifu's student, Wang De Ming, demonstrating the basic hand and foot exercises of the Cheng branch of Bagua. This is a very good, progressive and complete introduction to the type of movement you would expect if you wanted to delve into the forms and style of Sun Zhi Jun. Not to be looked down upon, these are the kind of basics you actually need because they introduce not only the essential concepts but, from the first movement, partake of the FLAVOR of Sun's interpretation... This also includes the first and second form sets. This differs from the basics of the #1368 above because where that VCD shows eight basic movements and their transitions this VCD shows over twenty exercises in a class type setting then a broken down for students explanation of the basic form. Note: This is a the first two VCDs and concentrate on strong basic information: $13.95 while they last.

VCD#1371 Cheng BaGua
Swimming Body Linked Partners
About 1 Hour, VCD pricing, Chinese only

Quantity

Probably the only disappointing presentation in the entire Sun Zhi Jun compendium. This is two of his students performing a very stylized and pretty unrealistic set for two people. The movements are not only overly dramatic and dance like but the usage is completely artificial. See an example of this in Sun's biography.One bonus, though, this VCD has a demonstration of the linked Bagua form 24 postures, a quite nice version similar to a "cascading palm" set.

Includes three main practice methods: Mother Palms, Changing Palms and Linked Palms. Some tight photography on footwork and some nice, fluid basic exercises. Everything done lightly and with grace.

24 Postures/64 Palms

About 1 Hour,VCD pricing, Chinese only

Quantity

This is the "master set" of Sun's BaGua system as far as hands are concerned. A fluid and fast changing series of palm changes that will have you head spinning and your heels reeling. Not the standard symmetrical patterns that go on and off like light switches. An integrated, highly complex and rapid altering series of movements that capture the essence of his style.

Sun knows how to work a spear. Most movements might be from any style with this weapon but he imparts an authority rarely seen in BaGua spear and shows some movements that wed theme and instrument.

Bagua with Sun Zhi Jun Saber

VCD#804 Cheng BaGua
BaGua Saber

About 1 Hour, VCD pricing, Chinese only

Quantity

A wild and longish set with the oversized BaGua broadsword. Many turns and sweeps always keeping the idea of circularity in mind. Sun has passed beyond where many people stop. His BaGua has become totally circular even when there are straight movements demonstrated. This set is open, lively and fairly complex but it also well worth seeing.

Bagua with Sun Zhi Jun Sword

VCD#805 Cheng BaGua BaGua Straight Sword
About 1 Hour, VCD pricing, Chinese only

Quantity

Without a doubt one of the best BaGua straight sword performances we've seen. Sun's version is complex yet clear, fluid without being flimsy. Important moves are shown in the beginning as excerpts form the form. Sections are shown front and back. His mastery of the weapon will impress.

Bagua with Sun Zhi Jun Elk Horn Knives

VCD#806 Cheng BaGua
Double Elk Horn Axes
About 1 Hour, VCD pricing, Chinese only

Quantity

A really beautiful, and somewhat complex set with these weapons. Sun is a little hard to trace exactly on the circle because he doesn't use one but, with fluidity and meaning as demonstrable as his, who cares? Well worth the money if you want BaGua knives.
