Description

This training set is designed to teach the correct formation of the first palm of Baguazhang — Xia Chen Zhang — using a structured, accelerated learning method that blends traditional principles with modern training approaches.

Across these three lessons, you will practice the essential trajectories, forces, and shaping elements required for the practical application of first‑palm techniques. The program gradually develops your coordination, structure, and physical readiness, ensuring that you build a clean and reliable foundation for further progress.

Each lesson increases the load and complexity step by step:

• You begin with the fundamental shaping techniques and basic body mechanics.
• You continue with deeper refinement of trajectories, alignment, and circular coordination.
• You finish with more demanding exercises that strengthen your structure and prepare you for the Skilled level.

In addition to palm‑shaping practice, the set includes physical exercises specifically chosen to help your body perform the first palm correctly and safely. By completing all three lessons, you fully master the Novice‑level requirements for Xia Chen Zhang and are ready to move on to the next palm or the next training stage.

This set includes three lessons that can also be purchased individually: First Palm of Bagua – 1, First Palm of Bagua – 2, First Palm of Bagua – 3. However, by purchasing the full set, you receive a significant discount compared to buying each lesson separately.

This set is also part of the larger 24‑lesson Baguazhang program, where each palm is studied through three progressive levels.

Consult your doctor before starting any training program.
