Many people when they first begin to learn Baguazhang and often because their body is tense and stiff from training in other martial systems, find it difficult to get anything happening Qi or energy wise; so we have an excellent training method derived from the "8 Animal Forms" of Bagua, called "Shaking the Qi", a set of 8 relatively simple training methods that force the body to learn about Bagua Fa-Jing. Volume one contains the first two of these Qi Shaking methods plus the excellent first two of the Palm training methods to gain fa-jing. The 1st Two Palm Changes: Bear & Monkey are covered in this volume.

This title teaches the very beautiful and deadly Phoenix animal Qi Shaking method from Baguazhang. It works upon the lungs and has some very potent attacking Dim-Mak methods using mainly the backs of the palms (like wings). There are 3 areas that we learn in the Bagua Animal Forms. The Animal Forms themselves: The Qi Shaking Methods, which are sort of like a lesser form of the main forms and lastly, the Animal two person training methods which I will be putting down onto video over the coming months.

One of the most beautiful, deadly and health giving forms from the Baguazhang Animal Sets. The Snake represents water, however, unlike the Monkey who represents the 'Lake' with its bright and sparkling surface, the Snake's 'Water' is the fast flowing river. The river can get in anywhere and is very deadly. On the other hand, the river is also life giving, hence the Snake's excellent healing of the Spleen (nourishes), Kidneys and Liver. So the Snake also works upon the life force.

It is regal but also deadly and very powerful. His attribute is "turning like a tornado". He kicks and attacks with his front hoofs as well as the horn on his head.

The Lion is the most violent of all the Bagua animals. He is solemn, explosive and aggressive. His power is awesome and his organ is the head/mind. He represents ‘Heaven’. His family member is the ‘Father’.
As with all of these animal forms, even in their Qi Awaking state, you must always keep in mind the animal they represent. You cannot simply do these movements as human beings. That is why the movements were formatted the way they are, so as to bring out the animal in us for self defense.
This form above all others will lead one into the contact with their ‘Reptile Brain’. In order to do this form correctly, the Reptile Brain must be used. There is also a Qigong associated with this form for activation of the Reptile Brain.
For this form, I always like to think of those pictures where the lion is leaping at a wilder beast as it goes by or turns. He/she is absolute aggression. We begin with the Lion Qigong method.

The Falcon’s element is ‘Fire’ (some people call this animal the Rooster or Hawk). His body part is the eyes. His family member is the ‘Second Daughter’. He is brave and courageous and fights to the finish to save his family. Spinning & Turning over, using a chopping method is his way of fighting. An equally important body part for healing is the Heart. This is one of the nicest continually moving, circling and spiraling forms and really works upon the Qi and adjusting flow of energy in the body for a more balanced flow.

The Dragon is unpredictable; he leaps, twists and undulates. His organ is the whole of the middle of the abdomen and associated organs. His family member is the eldest son and his attribute is Thunder. Because he represents the ‘centre’ the dragon also represents the whole body joining the spiritual (shen) with the earth.
This form teaches us unpredictability and enables us to attack from any position at any time and with any weapon.
