About This Academy
At JDMAA teach the internal arts of Bagua and Xing Ie. These are different from Tai chi in that the movements are typically quicker and seem on the surface to be more "external" in nature. However, looks are deceiving when it comes to these martial art forms. These arts will be taught in an ongoing weekly class structure just as if you were learning them in person. You will be taught the recognizable forms, but more importantly you will learn and develop the necessary internal qualities that make these martial arts so unique. Click on the picture to the left for a brief video from Sifu Greg about the Academy
You will find that Xing Ie and Bagua are taught simultaneously in most martial art schools. This is because, although the forms are quite different in appearance, there are many internal qualities that are similar. The two forms work extremely well when taught together. In the academy we will bounce back and forth from Xing Ie to Bagua. You will find this method to be extremely beneficial in its practice.

About Baguazhang
Baguazhang is considered to be the most circular and spiraling system of chinese martial arts (kungfu). Its defining characteristic is constant movement and change, and the ability to fight while being on the move. Where most martial arts engage with an opponent in a head-on fixed position, a bagua fighter can attack or defend while walking and changing direction constantly. The outstanding feature of baguazhang practice is circle walking. Bagua practitionerers will walk in circles during their practice and hold static postures while walking, and practice various martial techniques (palm changes) when changing direction on the circle. Baguazhang has developed into a very complex martial system including a full array of kicks, strikes, throws, grappling and the use of many weapons.
Today, Baguazhang still retains it's practical aspect and this is something that JDMAA is proud to preserve, with extensive development of the necessary internal qualities, principles, applications, weapon work and sparring forming the majority of our practice.
Join the AcademyAbout Xing Ie Chuan
Xing Ie Chuan in all its forms has a reputation for being a direct and powerful martial art which can be used practically. It historically was associated with weapons and especially with the use of the Da Qiang (Big Spear), which lends itself to strong and forceful offensive techniques. Through the 1800s, Xing Yi became an art sought out by those in Northern China wanting to make their name as martial artists, prize fighters, bodyguards, armed escorts for caravans, local militia men (called Braves) and at times by rebels and bandits. Many of the famous names of Xing Yi were employed as Biaoju - armed caravan escorts - and earned their reputations for protecting valuable goods across Northern China and beyond.
Today, Xing Yi still retains it's practical aspect and this is something that JDMAA is proud to preserve, with development of necessary internal qualities, principles, applications, weapon work and sparring forming the majority of our practice.
