As we've been enhancing our Tai Chi with a little Baguazhang recently I thought I'd repost Xian performing his Tea Cup Serving Exercises.
I still think this is one of the best demo's to pick up on the basic mechanics of the movement. As they say in Bagua "Everything comes from the teacup."

Al Goodheart & Al Hoffman Newton-le-Willows class hail and well met, the tea serving exercise is a tricky one to master and you definitely did yourselves proud this morning, great effort and great results well done one and all. Remember for the holistic benefit all you really need is the single hand forward and backward flow (the variations are considered specialised) and don't overdo it. For a little inspiration take a peek at Jinqiu Dong who performs a rather nice tea cup demonstration and also covers some Bagua exercises we didn't cover in class. We'll post an overview of the class on the website soon. Peace and Blessings Mathew https://youtu.be/3-_MLAWsbIA
