Internal arts are time tested ways to build health, to de-stress, approached correctly they contain a wealth of martial skills. You can start at any age and still develop decade after decade.
Unfortunately there is a lot of confusion about how to train to get the benefits.
I’ve worked hard to put together courses that are logical, relevant, clear and flexible enough to meet your individual interests. Complete beginners find them useful, black belts from other styles appreciate them.
I don’t know what you want, but if you try a course and don’t like it I’ll refund you your fees.

Bagua, Tai Chi and QiGong – Learn fitness, internal cultivation and martial skills from home.
Hello, I’m Edward Hines, a Bagua teacher from the Yi Zong lineage, now teaching in Brittany, France. My internal arts journey started in 1983 in London. Over the years I’ve traveled, studied, fought, thought and taught, first with boxing, then Tai chi, through to Xingyi and Bagua. Everything began integrating while training with my teacher Luo Dexiu in the Yi Zong curriculum.
For the last 20+years, I have taught Bagua classes in person in France. Since 2020 I have offered online Bagua courses and online Bagua classes via Zoom and sometimes coached students 1:1 in Bagua and Taiji – Tai Chi. Learn more about me here.
I started Bagua in 1991 when I met Luo Dexiu in Taiwan. Luo taught me the complete Yizong Gao style Bagua system, along with Chen Pan Ling Taiji, Hebei Xingyi, and various chi-kung cultivation sets. Learn more about the YiZong martial arts school.
