Ba Gua Basic Method: Before practicing Ba Gua Zhang, there is the Ba Gua Basic Method to learn.? In In EOE, the purpose of this Basic Method is to investigate the basis of posture in body dynamics, and the principles of motion (inertia and movement dynamics.) The Basic Method of a martial art represents its fundamental capabilities and fighting power; it demonstrates tactical thought, and is the basis of technique in defense, striking, and throwing/joint-locking.

Step Method: Step Method is a totality that contains Static Stance Method, Moving Step Method, and Applied Leg Method. The “step” is the origin of upright walking and body movement. In EOE, the Static Stance Method uses individual body dynamics as a foundation, and the Moving Step Method uses the physics of movement as a basis. The Step Method begins with simple training to move the center of gravity, moving in practice toward Total Movement, with hand/foot relativity and harmony of stepping with hand technique.

The centripetal method of rotation twists & spins via the movement of the spine axis and the Three Joints waist, knee, and ankle. The centrifugal method of revolution results from the unwinding of the twist/spin.
