Learn the profound art of Ba Gua Zhang
in 3 weekend intensives
Classes taught by Tom Bisio
Develop the foundation of Ba Gua Zhang as a martial art and internal energy system in three intensive weekends. Each day consists of 6 hours training with a one hour break in the middle.
Ideal for beginning students who have little or no experience in Ba Gua Zhang, as well as advanced practitioners who would like to review the crucial foundational material that is the basis of all of Ba Gua’s techniques and methods.
This class series is also a perfect fit for students in our Authentic Ba Gua Zhang online learning programs who want to take their training to another level. We are committed to making these classes equally valuable to experienced practitioners and beginning students alike.
