Eight mother palms in the crab way

The eight mother palms each develop a different method of moving and a different understanding of how baguazhang works. All the footwork and techniques are practised when one performs the mother palms. They should always be done carefully and perfectly. Never just 'go through' them for memory, as this develops bad habits.
