HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND LINEAGE
Cheng Style Ba Gua Zhang (Eight Diagrams Palm) represents one of the most sophisticated and influential branches of the Chinese internal martial arts. Founded by Cheng Tinghua; a premier disciple of the legendary Dong Haichuan; this style is celebrated for its fluid; swimming-body movements and its unique integration of Shuai Jiao (wrestling) mechanics into the circular footwork. This massive 7-DVD collection; presented by 9th Duan Grandmaster Liu Jingru; serves as a museum-level archive of the Cheng family heritage. Master Liu; a nationally recognized Representative Inheritor of Intangible Cultural Heritage; provides a definitive guide to the system's most prestigious Technical Routines. By adhering to the authentic teachings preserved through generations; this series provides a professional roadmap for practitioners seeking to master the 'Internal Alchemy' and 'Combat Logic' of a true Bagua master.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES AND SWIMMING BODY
The hallmark of Cheng Style is the 'Swimming Body' (You Shen) mechanic; where the practitioner moves with the fluidity of a dragon and the agility of a phoenix. Biomechanically; the routines focus on the generation of power through the constant rotation of the waist and the stability of the lower gate. The foundation begins with the 'Mud-wading Step' (Tang Ni Bu); which develops a powerful connection between the Dantian and the ground. Master Liu Jingru demonstrates how 'Body-Mind Integration' allows the practitioner to transform internal energy (Qi) into fluid; multi-directional power. Whether performing the 'Eight Palms' or the 'Interlink Palm;' the practitioner is taught to maintain structural integrity while navigating rapid directional changes and complex height transitions. This 'Fluid Structure' is essential for delivering 'Fa-Jin' (Explosive Power) while maintaining the 'Adhere and Follow' (Zhan Nian Lian Sui) quality necessary for high-level engagement.
WEAPONRY MASTERY AND Combat Application
A significant portion of this collection is dedicated to the sophisticated weaponry of the Eight Diagrams school. The 'Ba Gua Sword' and the rare 'Ziwu Yuanyang Yue' (Deer Horn Knives) are explored in exhaustive detail. These routines demand high-level 'Body-Sword Integration;' where the weapon functions as a seamless extension of the practitioner's rotational energy. The 'Deer Horn Knives;' with their multiple hooking points; are specifically designed to trap and neutralize larger weapons like the spear. Master Liu explains the tactical logic behind every strike; hook; and parry; bridging the gap between historical form and practical combat reality. The 'Pair Practice' module further refines these skills; providing 24 essential drills to test internal mechanics against a resisting opponent.
INTERNAL ALCHEMY AND CULTIVATION
Beyond physical technique; this series emphasizes 'Internal Alchemy' for health and longevity. Through 'Abdominal Respiration' and the sinking of Qi to the Dantian; the practitioner stabilizes their center of gravity and enhances metabolic function. The 'Basic Eight Palms' (Ding Shi Ba Zhang) serve as the primary vehicle for this internal cultivation; stretching the tendons and strengthening the bones. This 429-minute instructional guide is a comprehensive document of the Cheng lineage; offering a professional pathway to achieving the state where the spirit; shape; and intent are unified. It is a vital addition to any martial arts library; representing the pinnacle of traditional Chinese internal arts training and cultural preservation.

Biographical Profile: Liu Jingru
Grandmaster of Cheng-style Baguazhang and Cultural Guardian
Liu Jingru, born in 1936, is a 9th Duan holder in Chinese Wushu, a titan of contemporary Baguazhang, and a nationally recognized Representative Inheritor of Intangible Cultural Heritage. He is a leading authority on Cheng-style Baguazhang and holds profound mastery in Six Harmonies Praying Mantis and Xingyi Quan, often described as a "Living Cultural Fossil of Beijing Wushu."
Martial Arts Background: Authentic Lineage and Mastery
Master Liu studied under legendary masters such as Luo Dekuan, Liu Bin, and the Six Harmonies Mantis grandmaster Shan Xiangling. He systematically inherited the essence of the Cheng style—characterized by movements "like a swimming dragon and unpredictability"—reaching a pinnacle of mastery in footwork, palm techniques, and Internal Power. A multi-time champion in the 1970s and 80s, he is a universally respected grandmaster of both combat and form.
Legacy and Contribution: Protecting a Global Heritage
Master Liu is dedicated to the global dissemination of Baguazhang, with students spanning the entire world. He has authored several authoritative monographs and instructional series, meticulously documenting the core secrets of traditional Wushu. Beyond physical training, he emphasizes the preservation of cultural roots, frequently lecturing at international forums on the philosophical underpinnings of Bagua.
Artistic Style: Ethereal Agility and Drifting Clouds
His Baguazhang performance is characterized by extreme flexibility and fluid, circular movement, perfectly capturing the spirit of "a dragon swimming through the air." He advocates for "naturalness, coordination, and transparency." His flawless technique and sage-like presence profoundly illustrate the highest realms of internal martial arts.
