The goal of Baguazhang is to express the Taoist diagram, the Bagua, in their spirit and body.
Martially, the goal is the development of the dragon body: infusing your Yi (intent) and Qi (energy) into each and every part of your body. This is how Baguazhang is able to strike with any part of the body from any position.
