A Lesson in Earth Palm

When yin becomes yang or why am I falling down?

Among the many features I love about the Nine Dragon (Jiulong) system of Baguazhang is its structure built around the Eight Trigrams of the Yijing.

Each trigram is referred to as a Posture or Palm, and each has unique features that can be used in various ways, depending on the situation. This is illustrated in this video of Dr. Painter teaching Earth Palm at a week-long “Gathering of the Circle” workshop.

I’ll have more to say about these fantastic sessions in future posts.
