The most famous modern proponent, Dong Hai Chuan, became the bodyguard of the Empress Dowager, and was a teacher well respected by China’s most famous masters. 1. It is characterized by fast circular footwork, agile body movements, and lightning-fast hands. It is one of the famous three Neijia (Internal) styles which also include Tai Chi Quan and Xingyi Quan. 2. It teaches the student to “Walk like a dragon, retrieve and spin like an ape, change momentum like an eagle, and be calm and steady like a waiting tiger.” The use of open palms instead of fists, and the use of “negative space” is one of the things that makes Bagua Zhang particularly good for defeating multiple opponents. 3. Bagua Zhang contains powerful strikes. But the emphasis on flow and constant change is what gives this art its versatility. The options to choose between strikes, throws, joint locks, pressure point control, and varying degrees of control, make this art useful for self-defense and for law enforcement. 4. Bagua Zhang training is very aerobic, and emphasizes stability and agility.

    INSIDE THE KINGDOM August 2, 2017 the Chronicle Section B – 20 Pages Exhibit on Greensboro families China connections by Joseph Gresser GREENSBORO — The Greensboro Historical Society usually divides its attention between stories about the farmers and artisans who built the town and the folks who came from away to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Caspian Lake. This summer’s exhibit at the society’s headquarters in the old Greensboro Library Building next to Willey’s Store examines a more distant object through the lens of four families that eventually called Greensboro home. “Old China Hands” looks at how those four families engaged with a distant land and gives a picture of some of that country’s most difficult years as seen through the eyes of the folks with Greensboro connections. The exhibit is dominated by a set of four long panels, each devoted to the story of one of those families, complete with photographs showing family members and places in China that were important to them. Artifacts, including Chinese clothing, trophies from sporting competitions held by Europeans in China, and other family keepsakes line the walls of the room. But perhaps the most interesting part of the exhibit is a timeline that A collection of items gathered by four Greensboro families during their time in China surrounds freestanding matches historical events in the U.S. and China panels chronicling their history there.
