Ba Gua

Ba Gua, also known as Ba Gua Zhang (Eight Trigram Palm), is one of the three major internal Chinese martial arts, alongside Tai Chi and Xing Yi. It is renowned for its unique circular walking patterns, agile footwork, and fluid body movements. Rooted in Taoist philosophy, Ba Gua’s techniques symbolise adaptability, balance, and the ability to redirect force with precision. This style develops not only martial skill but also internal strength (nei jin), flexibility, and a calm, focused mind.

At the International Shaolin Dragon Academy, we offer authentic Ba Gua training taught by masters with deep lineage in traditional Chinese martial arts. Our curriculum blends traditional forms, practical applications, and internal energy training, helping students master both self-defence and meditative movement.

Learning Ba Gua here means training in a culturally immersive environment, with access to other martial arts like Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong, ensuring a complete martial journey.

Whether you want to improve your agility, enhance your martial arts repertoire, or deepen your understanding of Chinese philosophy, Ba Gua at ISDA provides the perfect balance of tradition, skill, and personal growth.
