Yin Style Bagua Lion

DISCLAIMER: these videos were shot in the 1990s on analog 8mm and originally released as VHS cassettes. Over the years of storage and moving from VHS to DVD, DVD to digital release and then to streaming in the format here today, a very small number of the original video clips glitched, do not have audio, are in the wrong order, or simply lost. While here are very few lost or damaged clips across the incredible amount of hours of footage represented in this early documentation of Lion, Phoenix, Dragon and Bear systems, the low price for so many hours of footage reflects our understanding of the age and issues online students may face who do not have access to in person training. Thank you for your understanding. We direct you to https://yinstylebaguazhang.com/ for more modern footage created by He Jinbao himself after the passing of Dr. Xie Peiqi.

The Lion system belongs the the Qian trigram and is pure Yang. As a result, it is very direct, ferocious, and dominant. It is ideal for people who are naturally big or naturally strong. It is also excellent as a first animal for those who wish to develop strength, as the Lion practices develop the tendons and muscles faster than all of the other animals. A generalization is that the Lion goes through an opponent, and only takes the defensive if needed.

This intensive training series features Foundation Practices as well as the Sweeping, Smashing, Chopping, Hooking, Shocking, Blocking, Seizing and Grasping Strikes Attack Methods.
