GETTING TO OPPONENT'S BACK IN BAGUAZHANG

Baguazhang is well known for getting to an opponent's back. It is one of its special features.

Mother Palm 7, which is Rotating-Body Palm, is useful for this purpose. An effective counter is "Control a Rushing Horse".

Practice the routine of getting to an opponent's back from the video. You must be quite good at Mother Palm 7. Start slowly, then gradually increase the speed and force.

Don't be disappointed if you find yourself not as good as the demonstrators in the video. Sifu Daniel of Canada, Sifu Daniel of Spain, Sifu Robin of England and Sifu Chris of the United States are at masters' levels, though in the video they have spent only a few days at a regional course.
