Description

This lesson opens your journey into the first palm of Baguazhang — Xia Chen Zhang. Even if you’ve never practiced kung fu before, this session is designed to guide you safely and clearly from the very beginning.

You’ll learn the essential shaping techniques that form the foundation of the style. These movements develop correct trajectories, build clean structure, and gently prepare your body for the physical demands of the first palm. Step by step, you’ll begin to feel how Baguazhang organizes the body through alignment, coordination, and circular intent.

This training is part of a special accelerated learning system that combines traditional methods with modern teaching approaches. With this balance, you can quickly grasp the core principles of the first palm without losing the depth and precision required by classical Baguazhang.

This lesson is included in the First Palm Set (3 lessons). The full set is also part of the larger 24‑lesson program covering all eight palms of Baguazhang. Purchasing complete sets gives you access to significant bundle discounts.

How to train: Repeat each movement with focus and patience. Follow the instructor closely and, if possible, check your form in a mirror to build precise habits from the start.

Move to the Novice Intermediate level only when these fundamentals feel stable, natural, and easy to perform.
