    Yeah, that's a pretty decent generalization.
    I see circle walking as a method of training mind/body integration. Just the practice of walking the circle itself, without the incorporation of palm changes is a good method of practicing good body alignment while in motion. It is also a good way to practice continuous transitional movement without breaking ones root.
    There are several principles involved with proper body structure in Bagua and it can be quite the meditation practice trying to maintain all of these principles while in motion.

    circle walking is a form of qigong, then again, so are most exercises if one applies the right intention behind the movements and so forth.

    yet only if the path was linear on a sphere and the person had enough spacial skills to guide them, otherwise this statement is only partially correct.... if it were an another plane of existence that was not sphereical in nature, one would simply walk for eternity.

    the same wisdom can be applied to all movements concievable in the mind.

    Come visit me and I will SHOW you what it achieves.
    I see you're associated with the Gompa. Dr Painter has near devine status here in the DFW area. Did you train in Arlington? What path did you take to Bagua, the traditional through Xing Yi?

    I met Dr. Painter at a seminar in the late 1990's, and he handled me with ease.

    I asked him to teach me what I did not know.

    I have been with him ever since.

    I have been certified to teach the first level of the Jiulong Baguazhang system, and I am working on becoming a shifu in the system.

    I will also be learning the family Xing Yi Quan and Tai Ji Quan as well.

    Baguazhang speaks to me on a level that the others do not.

    I train in Arlington yearly as well as host Dr. Painter at workshops here in Boston and attend the annual Gathering of the Circle which is our week logn Jiulong Baguazhang camp.

    Dale,

    Just out of curiosity what did you train before you found Dr. Painter? Might give some folks an idea of what you brought to the table that Dr. Painter "handled with ease".

    I had been training for over 20 years in Uechi Ryu as well as having been exposed to Judo, Aikido, South Mantis, an another Baguazhang system before I met Dr. Painter.

    I am 6'2" and 285-300 depending on what I am eating and training.

    Dr. Painter handled my external training and laid me on the ground with ease.

    Hence my immediate response to ask him to train me.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Do you find any similarities between Bagua and Aikido?

    Our system (Wang Zhuangfei)/lineage is very different from Dale's system from what I can see on youtube but the importance of Circle walking remains on top of the training list (AFAIC). This practice develops the body in ways that other systems I've practiced (Northern Mantis, Tai Mantis, Taiji (Chen, Yang, Wu)) never came close to. You need to go have a taste, then perhaps you'll know.


    Dale, you still planning to move to Florida?
