Store YSB Penetrating Palms

Born in 1928, Liu Shichang is Dr. Xie Peiqi’s oldest surviving disciple who began training with him in 1958. Unlike He Jinbao, whose tremendous age difference with Dr. Xie created a different relationship dynamic, Liu Shichang was a contemporary and close friend of the doctor’s. They trained together and lived the difficult history of the late 50’s and 60’s looking out for each other. His words and fighting skills are an intriguing glimpse into how Dr. Xie spoke about and taught Bagua in his middle years. Liu Shichang was his favorite disciple and the first to seek out challenge matches with every system possible to test his Bagua skills. A truly incredible human who since beginning his study of Bagua 45 years ago has never missed a day of practice.

The Penetrating Palm Forms 2 DVD set is filmed with two camera angles in a very free flow fashion. Liu Shichang first discusses Bagua’s history, famous practitioners, his own path to this system, and Bagua’s critical theory for new practitioners. He then demonstrates 24 Penetrating Palm forms and their applications drawn from the Dragon, Lion and Phoenix systems.

The Foundation Practices for the Penetrating Palms 2 DVD set is filmed in the same fashion as the Penetrating Palm forms. Here, Liu Shichang discusses what he feels is critical to developing power and fighting skill so the Penetrating Palm forms are not ‘hollow’ or empty moves. He demonstrates kicking drills and applications; striking drills and applications; forms and applications drawn from Lion, Phoenix, and Dragon; and shows how to train the Penetrating Palms from the Upper and Lower Palm postures of Yin Style Bagua.

Both sets are filmed with gems for beginner and experienced practitioners alike.
