GENINT 741.490
Osher (50+). In this course, we explore the history, philosophy, and movements of the internal martial art of Bagua.
About this course:
Monks and nuns of the high-mountain Chinese monasteries used the practice of walking in circles to assist them in their devotional practices. From these practices over several thousand years, Baguazhang or Bagua was developed as an internal martial art that is uniquely healing and balancing for the body and mind. In this course, we explore its history, philosophy and practical movements while comparing it to tai chi, qigong and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practices.Corporate Education
