Bai Yun Ba Gua Zhang Kuntao

Bai Yun (White Cloud) Ba Gua Zhang Kuntao is a system of Bagua that was passed down to Bapak Willem de Thouars from Buk Chin.  This system, unlike more traditional styles of Bagua, consists of individual techniques that the practitioner strings together in a free form fashion.  The standard single and double palm change, for example, are absent as 'forms' perse in this system.  The 8 palm changes labeled on the outline are only 8 examples of some of the key movements of this system and bear nothing in common with the more traditional 8 palm changes in more orthodox systems of Bagua.  There are ways of walking the circle, changing directions, and Qi Gong much like other systems of Bagua.
