Master Mao Jun Di, Shanghai

Master Mao Jun Di has an impeccable record within Bagua Zhang and other traditional Chinese martial arts. He studied directly under Jiang Rongqiao and learnt the Dragon Style 64 Forms Bagua Palm. This is the system of the eight-trigram palm characterising the dragon's movements as taught by Jiang Rongqiao. (Note: the eight trigrams - eight combinations of three whole or broken lines Used in divination). Bagua Zhang meaning Ba - eight, gua - trigram, Zhang - palm

Jiang Rongqiao was second-generation Bagua practitioner from Dong Haichuan, the founder of Bagua Zhang. Jiang Rongqiao in his later years resided in Shanghai.

Master Mao also knows the Wu-Xing (Five Elements) Chain Ring Bagua Palm, which is practiced on a straight line and also to the four corners, incorporating the eight elbows and eight hammer fists. This form is now very rare. His teacher was Zhang Qianglun. The origin of this form is somewhat unclear, but at this moment in time, with the help of Master Mao, we are researching the history.
