Johan Duquet van Shen Yi Thunder Kungfu Aalst samen met Luo Dexiu van Yizong Bagua Taiwan. Traditionele Kung Fu, Xingyi en Bagua.

XINGYI is very practical and direct in both usage and training methods.

It focuses on the universal principles on which both, "chinese boxing" and weapon use, are based upon.

BAGUA conditions the body to move in circles and spirals to prepare it to better understand how locks and throws, or "chinese wrestling", work.

We follow a dynamic training method, used by LUO DEXIU at his "YIZONG BAGUA" school in Taiwan.

It includes meditative health exercises, elegant forms, dynamic partner drills, and a systematical approach to teaching the techniques and tactics to fight both, armed and unarmed.

We dedicate about 1/3 of time to solo practices, and 2/3 to training with a partner.

The intensity can vary from standing meditation to light technical sparring.
