Jag snubblade över denna sida: http://www.newyorkinternalarts.com/blog/?p=143
Tom Bisio’s tränare tränade med LiZiMing, samma lärare som min BaGua tränare, XinLiTian, tränade för.
DingShiBaZhang är grunden i Liang BaGua. Och precis som Tom Bisio skriver:
Ding shi or “fixed posture” Ba Gua is one of the most important aspects of Ba Gua training. Some say it is the starting and ending point of Ba Gua practice. Ding shi is the natural compliment to zhan zhuang (stake standing). While zhan zhuang emphasizes internal movement within external stillness, in ding shi, one attends to the internal stillness within the external movement.
