Wen Dasheng

     Wen Dasheng started his Fan Family Baguazhang practice at the age of fifteen. Since Fan Fenglan, when already old , realized that the art would vanish if taught according to traditional methods , she was teaching him using many examples, with all the details and explanations . In this way Wen was able to master Fan Family old Palms and weapons routines. In the seventies Wen decided to systematize the style , and his first article on “The Eight Forms of Fan Family Bagua Rotating Palm for Beginners” was published in 1984. Later Wen Dasheng also published articles on Collapsing Palm of Fan Family Bagua , Eight Methods Linked Palms, Jin Gang (Vajra) Great Strength Method , Linked Broadsword Form, etc. Besides, Wen summarized Twenty Four Essentials (twenty four characters ) of  Fan’s Baguazhang.
