Discover the profound elegance of the Tianjin Xingyi Bagua Youshen Sword, a rare and sophisticated weapon system derived from the lineage of Grandmaster Zhang Zhankui. This 2-disc instructional series preserves the unique integration of Xingyi’s explosive power and Bagua’s fluid, circular footwork, offering practitioners a deep dive into one of China's most respected Internal Martial Arts traditions.

Master Xiong Shounian, a 6th Duan practitioner and renowned expert, provides a systematic breakdown of the entire routine. The curriculum is divided into eight comprehensive sections, totaling sixty-four intricate sword techniques. Each movement is meticulously analyzed, ensuring that students understand the critical mechanics of using the waist as an axis to drive the shoulders, elbows, and wrists, creating a unified force that flows through the blade.

Beyond basic choreography, this DVD set explores the tactical application of the sword within the Nine Palaces and Eight Directions. You will learn essential maneuvers such as the 'Purple Swallow Leaves the Flock' (Ziyan Chuqun) and 'Green Dragon Probes with Claws' (Qinglong Tanzhua). The instruction emphasizes the harmony between palm techniques and sword skills, teaching you how to execute precise strikes, parries, and slashes while maintaining the upright posture and internal energy (Xu Ling Ding Jin) required for high-level performance.

Whether you are a dedicated student of Xingyiquan, Baguazhang, or a collector of traditional Chinese weaponry, this series is an invaluable resource. With clear English voiceover and professional demonstrations, you will gain the insights necessary to master the 'Swimming Body' sword, enhancing your agility, coordination, and understanding of the Internal Martial Arts legacy passed down from the legendary Dong Haichuan and Zhang Zhankui.
