every time i run across this video (it has been years at this point), i am profoundly reminded of the depths heights and extent of Bagua that extend through so many variances of skill and discipline. Also, i am reminded and humbled that more training and understanding can be garnered through practice by your exhibition. Truly potent in its beauty.
Thank you.

finally some one that knows how to put force into movement and still keep his balance! subscribed!
That guy is freaking awesome that is some of the best Baqua I have ever seen
This is really good. It's rare to see a westerner practise chinese martial arts with graceful flowing movements. Good job!
He's from South Africa.
So graceful movements!!
You become one with the flow and completely lost .!!!
Thank you for all the supportive comments. I will continue to change, and change, and change..
am studding chen tai chi its water love the way you move like the wind
Best Bagua i've ever seen. You put all these supposed bagua masters with beer-guts on youtube to shame.
Zachary Dierx , apparently you have not seen much, nor have you been struck or thrown by the old nei jia men with pijiu bellies .
Amazing
incredible
...and after all these years still one of the best i have seen so far on internet
Watch Grandmaster Liu Jingru, who is the lineage holder of this form. Even at 60 in 2003, Grandmaster Liu put everyone else to shame. Also watch Han Yanwu, disciple of Grandmaster Liu. Hans studied with Master Han for a while.
Bro I'm impressed. You know how to keep balance when exerting force. You don't over extend. Your movement are smooth, flexible and explosive. You understand where the force is suppose to come from. The only thing i would say is that your trap hands are a bit confusing. When you go for trap and elbows you need to flesh out the limbs you are bridging and your impact point otherwise your techniques application will fail. Great work. I don't practice your style but you do it so well I can tell it's good.
this martial arts is the style of ang's movements form avatar the last air bender.
That is backward. You DMF. There is no comparison! That is just a fantasy. But this skill is real. Sell your video games. Quit hiding from life. Find a gym and start bending iron. Then make yourself a good student. Study kung fu. It is hard, difficult. But the rewards are many.
Peace.
@Deptstdnt i No death maestro thats not what I meant to say. I meant to tell you the truth. Which I did. I hope your intelligent enough to appreciate it. And strong enough to accept without feeling traumatised. Good luck to you.
@Deptstdnt i Dude. Grow TFU and quit trolling people.
airbending is from baguazhang, waterbending is from taichi
That's what Airbending Is based off of
The performer is a very well-trained athlete. The set looks like a sport wushu competition set derived from original Cheng Jia. Body is supple and pretty well integrated. One of the few good bagua videos on youtube. Keep rockin' it out.
Excellent demonstration, truly Mr Menck has mastered this form and as a Westerner I would be proud to show this to Chinese
Excellent performance! I hope to have your fluidity and power in my Bagua training someday. Thank you for posting!
I don’t care what you say... this is impressive.
Excellent control and clarity of technique. Most impressive, thank you, enjoyable.
one of the best 8 palm changes i have seen
Fantastic. It's wonderful to see the preservation of this intriguing art.
We are beginning to learn Bagua palm changes this season. I can't wait for Sifu to show us more!!
Looks fantastic! Alot of hard work gone into it! Well done!
Freedom Martial Arts. First of all, thank you for sharing this video showing a young practitioner " walking the dragon " with great style.
Those who follow the " assumption reaction " will make a fool of themselves.
I've been practicing Baguazhang since 1996 and have seen hundreds of performances over the years and this has to be the best, imho 🙏♥️☮
Very nice Bagua forms. I finally understood the footwork of bagua a couple of days ago from some UA-cam videos. You guys are perfect demonstrators of Bagua.
Thanks for give us this Bagua demostration
I only ever had one lesson of bagua, it was one of the most challenging classes of my life (up there with feng shou and dragon style kung fu) I do hope I get to try it again someday. Mad respect for your agility, strength, and skill :)
wow. Such fluid movements and they look so well executed!! Awesome. Subscribed!!
Thanks for posting. I appreciate my brother Hans here. Every sincere student understands that kung fu is hard work. None understand it more than those that seek their skill in Pa Kua Chang.
In watching Herr Menck executing the first Kua. It is clear and obvious that he has been training for several years already, if not more. Each of the three treasures require such commitment. I hope he keeps practice. And reaches new levels of skill. The trained eye will see at the end of the last Kua.The eighth one. That Herr Menck's back is saturated with sweat from his intensity, good.
Overcome the darkness. Return the Light.

Very nice, fluid. What one should aspire to.
nicely done.
it's interesting how differences can occur w bagua, I practice a similar style, Liu Bin from Beijing, through Zhang jie. some of the movement patterns are very similar, other's quite a bit different. but the fundamental moves are clearly very similar, especially the off axis and spine turning movements. our method is done very smoothly, less of Fa when compared these palms (thought ours is done w more fa in other forms of the style)
thanks for posting.
Amazing skill and power. Bagua footwork at this level is not easy. . . and pay attention to spine and sholder flexibility. That takes time to achieve !
This is very beautiful and soothing to watch. I wish i can be this skilled.
I used to think Bagua was all palm strikes, ridge hands, chops, but I see now there is lots of elbows, joint locks, and throws there
Graceful movement with elegance and power
Great Cheng Style Bagua! I can see the Liu Jingru lineage is alive in you.
Great to see Cheng style in South Africa, check out our new podcast on Baguazhang and the other internal arts.
Beautiful form and performance. Nice touch with General Guan Yu over the door. =)
A fascinating art!
Very nice demonstration! Keep it going man, nice form too.
Forms makes sense if you've studied martial arts but to someone on the outside it must like some fancy dance.
Every time I watch an old video (this has been up for 12 years),
I always wonder what has become of the student.
I enjoyed your changing hands,inspired.I wish you great insights and live well . Mike formerly from green dragon of chicago
Un trabajo limpio y claro.
Enhorabuena
Excellent! Thank you for sharing.
changing is the key but dont forget the fundamentals and basics.
Looks very skilled and dedicated to me, with fluid motion and fast high kicks, for example. Subbed, and will enjoy seeing more. Thank you!
I watched this embedded on the channel’s freedommartialart site, where I read some interesting information on the style and its origins.
Excellently done. Impressive
subscribed amazing, finally after looking so long.
very good work. Your form is very impressive.
Wow that was beautiful, very nice movement
wonderful, hi from Paraguay!

Excellent work.
Very good work.
Very nice! Yes, a little jerky at times but everyones different
Beautiful! Magnificent!
Thanks for the inspiration!
If it wasn't done it would be amazing seeing this guy do applications of his Bagua the Fluidity would look amazing
Great Bagua guy!!!

I want to learn this!!!
Great! Greetings from Uruguay
Absolutely stunning! ☺️ thank you….
your bagua is looking awesome bro
awesome so fluid!
Excelente. Very smooth and continuous. 👍👌✌️😄🙏
I wasn’t expecting this to be so good. It’s rare to see westerners with skill in 中国武术
Very nice - moves well.
BRILLIANT...THANK- YOU😊
brilliant !
Very nice!
Half my family is fromSouth Africa!!!! My Mother is from Cape Town!
Awe bra I'm from CT😆
I see the dragon, and its power. good work
hans is the man!
And when the world needed him most, he vanished.. Jaja this style has so much rotation! Got dizzy watching. Great to confuse someone too, I guess?
There's a reason the style is known as "circle walking" and the root for airbending
One That’s why he said “known as”.
@@thegamertaku144 Yes, I knew this information prior to making my comment. Thank you for your knowledge tho !
The footwork has as main goal to turn the practitioner an untouchable target in the same time that the practitioner can move enough for to face many oponents.
Also the constant practice improves your stamina and cardio.
Crazy beautiful 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow. Impressive mastery
Wonderful !!!
Amazing .
Less dynamic tension and more root with linkage. This stuff takes 20 years to master.
Incredible!
Thgis is amazing!
You get so LOW!
Magnificent.
But when the world needed him most... he vanished!
Great work:) Regards .
Awesome 👏!!!
Most excellent.
Hi Hans - It's been a while since we met in Vincennes at the Cercle Tissier. It sounds like China is the place to be for studying Bagua Zhang - I'm very fond of such a art! Take care
Admirable! Gracias por compartir!
I would love to know what styles were prevalent in the area where baguazhang was invented/discovered when it was.
high Respect!
He seems to hide his palms close to his body, then they emerge out of a rotation. Very beautiful. It almost looks like a magic trick
That is some good Bagua!
Please demonstrate some applications
Air bending lol
Bend this! DMF.
no joke, air bending is based on this martial art
bitch this is gentle fist
Jet li is really good at this too
Yes
Love it
This will literally transform your health. Joints become steel.
that was DOPE!! Love it!
すばらしい
