The Old 8 Palms, or Lao Ba Zhang is the traditional Basic Training Set of Ba Gua Zhang. This simple set of movements introduces the student's body to the shapes, postures and movements of the art while presenting the basic martial ideology of Ba Gua Zhang along with the energetic foundation of the system. This set is the perfect way to begin a study of the art and a method for experienced practitioners to build the foundations of their practice.

Palm Changes one through four will be taught in this workshop.
