Baguazhang DVD question

Postby buddhafist » Mon Jul 23, 2012 2:57 am

Hi, I´m considering to buy the Baguazhang DVD.

On the trailer I saw that there are conditioning methods that seem to be also covered in Shou-Yu Liangs books (Qigong Empowerment/Kung Fu Elements). Could someone tell how much conditioning is there actually on the dvd, and maybe what methods? I´m mainly interested in this dvd for the conditioning, so it would perhaps complement Liangs great books.

Thanks!
