We teach baguazhang as an extra to tai chi. We do not mix and match.

Why bother learning a second art?

1. It's fun
2. It's hard
3. It is sneaky and deceptive
4. It makes your footwork smoother
5. It improves your spatial awareness
6. It works well against multiple opponents
7. It challenges you physically and cognitively
8. It encourages spontaneity and improvisation

Any student who wants to put in a little extra practice time between lessons can learn baguazhang.
