282. Baguazhang Taoist Cultivation – The urban path (5) Sun Lutang 孫祿堂

Well, I’m finally doing it and I’m gonna talk about Baguazhang master Sun Lutang 孫祿堂 (1860 – 1933). Disciple of master Cheng Tinghua 程廷華. Master Sun is important because he was the first to produce baguazhang manuals (which are still available today): Baguaquan xue (A study of eight trigrams boxing) published 1916; Baguajian xue (A study of eight trigrams straight sword) published 1927.

This is one man's internal martial arts journey to Bagua Shan 八卦山.
