Bagua Zhang, ' or 'Eight-Trigram-Palm' in English, is also known as 'Swimming Body Bagua Zhang' or 'Bagua Linked Palms.' It is a martial art based on palm-techniques, fluid changes of direction, and circle-walking. Fundamentally, Bagua Zhang is one of the three famous internal martial arts schools in Chinese Wushu (the others being Taichi Quan and Xingyi Quan). It is also an embodiment of Taoist health, fitness, and self-defense. It is both an internal and external exercise which blends martial art techniques with Dao-Yin 导引(Dao means to lead, Yin means to guide; Dao-Yin refers to lead Qi in to make the breathing harmony, and guide physical to cause the body flexible) and Tu-Na 吐纳(Tu means to expel, Na means to ingest; Tu-Na refers to expel the old energy, and draw in the new). Accordingly, the practitioner's body will become strong and supple while he/she develops offensive and defensive fighting skills. According to historians, Bagua Zhang was created during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911AD.) by Grant Master Dong, Haichuan (1813-1882). Legend says that he acquired his art after learning Taoist cultivation practices during a tour to south China. He then combined these practices with martial arts techniques he knew in order to create a new system
