Pa Kua Chuan

Traditional Form Pa Kua Chuan

8 Trigram Boxing

Below find the list of names for the Pa Kua Chuan Continuous Form.  The names represent each movement done only one time.  If you were doing the form complete, it would double the number of movements.  This then makes the form mirror imaged so both sides of the forms are practiced equally for balance.
