Bagua Zhang is a traditional Chinese martial art known for its circular movements and fluid footwork. Practitioners often walk in a circle while performing various techniques, which helps develop agility, balance, and coordination. The style emphasizes evasion and redirection, making it effective for self-defense. Originating from Daoist philosophy, Bagua Zhang incorporates elements of meditation and internal energy cultivation. It is often practiced as a form of moving meditation, promoting physical health and mental clarity. The art is characterized by its unique stances and the use of palm strikes, distinguishing it from other martial arts like Tai Chi and Wing Chun.
