Circle Walking: The Lost Meditation of Bagua Zhang

Martial artist in black uniform practicing Bagua Zhang circle walking stance, one palm extended and one hand guarding near the waist.

Bagua Zhang’s circle walking is a moving meditation that develops alignment, rooting, and spiral energy. Unlike still meditation, this martial practice trains awareness, breath, and explosive potential through walking in circles. With Bagua basics such as palm postures and spiral movement training, circle walking becomes both Qigong power training and martial meditation.
