Bagua Concepts Volume 1: Ding Shi with Tom Bisio
Volume 1 of this 3 DVD set covers Fixed Posture (Ding Shi) Ba Gua Zhang and applications. This is the key practice from which many of the other skills in Ba Gua are derived. The practice of Ding Shi combined with the “mud wading step” not only provides the key foundation for maintaining structure while throwing and locking, but is the primary nei gong method that stores qi in the Dan Tien and actualizes the spiraling of energy through the body. Some practitioners feel that Ba Gua begins and ends with the Ding Shi – that it is simultaneously the most basic and the most advanced aspect of Ba Gua Zhang. Includes applications of each posture and their changes.
