Water Method Arts 2026

All students will learn a five-posture set to train along with how to Walk the Circle. Energy postures help to connect key qi flows, enabling you to target specific internal organs to balance and increase blood and qi circulation throughout the body.

New Students and Beginners

The material presented will create the foundation for new students to step into a bagua practice, although Circle Walking with Energy Postures alone offers a powerful practice to keep the body and mind fit and healthy — whether or not you choose to move on to Bagua's Single Palm Change. Bagua has been trained for millennia as a health, healing, meditation and spiritual art. The content taught in this year's seminars will form the basis for Paul's multi-year curriculum in California on Circle Walking and, later, bagua.

Experienced Bagua Stylists

For those who already have a bagua or Circle Walking practice, this is an excellent opportunity to strip back the complexities, focus on refining foundational techniques, and receive feedback and hands-on corrections from Paul to upgrade your entire bagua practice.

Paul offers a Circle Walking & Energy Postures online course, which serves as an excellent introduction to the material being taught in the seminar(s).
