Liang Style Baguazhang is the style of Baguazhang descended from Liang Zhenpu (梁振蒲), the youngest disciple of Baguazhang's founder, Dong Haichuan. In general, most lineages of Liang style descend from either Guo Gumin (郭古民) or Li Ziming (李子鳴) (the first president of the Beijing Bagua Research Association):

In general, Liang style appears somewhat similar to both Yin and Cheng styles.

As its technical basis, Liang style baguazhang has the "eight old palms" (Laobazhang 老八掌), from which more complicated linking forms are derived. Liang style is also known for its large array of weapons (such as the wind and fire wheels, seven star stick, and double-headed snake spears).

In general, most Liang style practitioners are concentrated in Beijing.
