Cheng Shi Ba Gua Zhang Xi Lie Ji Ben Gong (VCD) (China Version)Artist Name(s): MA LIN CHENGRelease Date: 2005-02-15Language: MandarinSubtitles: No SubtitleCountry of Origin: ChinaCheng style is one of the most popular branches of Baguazhang (Eight Trigram Boxing) coming from Cheng Tinghua, one of the most famous disciples of Dong Haichuan.
Because of Cheng’s background in Shuai Jiao (Chinese Wrestling) the style’s methods – apart from standard striking, kicking and grabbing – is rich in throwing techniques.
Its basic skills are built upon the fundament of circle walking; the routines are performed in a very smooth, swimming-like manner, with focus on twisting of the whole body which is compared to the way legendary dragon moves – hence another name for Cheng style – “Swimming Body” or “Dragon Form” Baguazhang.
While Cheng Tinghua taught many students, the orthodox Cheng style was passed only to his sons (Cheng Youlong, Cheng Youxin), nephew (Cheng Yousheng) and a few of his disciples.
Cheng style Baguazhang system presented on this set of VCDs is demonstrated by Ma Lincheng, 4th generation of the style, disciple of master Xu Lifang.
Xu Lifang learnt from Cheng Youlong, Cheng Youxin and Cheng Yousheng and his style in its core is probably the closest to that taught by Cheng Tinghua.
