Liuhebafa (Lokhupbafa) Standing Set

Liuhebafa (LHBF) is one of the main systems of  internal martial arts from China. It has elements of taijiquan, xingyiquan, and baquazhang in it, particularly focusing on the turning generated from core muscles such as the abdominal obliques and shoulder girdle muscles such as the serratus anterior. The particular tradition I practice and teach comes from Liang Zipeng who was also a well known yiquan practitioner, so there are elements of that in it as well.

This particular practice has much to offer for martial artists practicing with applications in mind, but the gentle turning and spiraling offers much for those interested in health and wellness. This standing set is something I put together to focus on the health aspects and it is particularly useful in online classes as many participants do not have the space to study liuhebafa when streaming in from a computer or casting to the TV. It still contains the general principles.
