We practice a traditional, non competitive, style of martial arts based on the study of the Pa Kua (Bagua) symbol. Originally developed in China, Pa Kua literally translating to “eight changes.” It represents a holistic approach to classifying and understanding the energetic movement of the world and ourselves. It has formed the basis of many practices within Chinese culture including: Feng Shui, Taoism, the I Ching, as well as various martial art styles such as Baguazhang (Pa Kua Chang).

We often refer to Pa Kua knowledge as “universal knowledge,” meaning that we believe this knowledge can benefit anyone regardless of culture, identity, religion, or status.

Unlike many approaches to martial arts, we do not limit our techniques or forms. You can find a wide variety of techniques we use reflected in other martial arts such as baguazhang, akido, krav maga, katate, jujitsu, and kickboxing. We consider all techniques to be held within Pa Kua knowledge. For this reason, we refer to Pa Kua as, “The Style of No Style.”

As a holistic martial art, each of our programs are considered part of the same whole. We work to develop the body and mind both internally and externally.

Being a student of Pa Kua means being a part of a community, we believe strongly that practice is the true path to understanding. Students work closely to support, motivate, and encourage each other.
