Pa Kua Chuan For Self-Defense

This unique book introduces the reader to the combat aspect of Pa Kua Chuan (八卦掌, Bagua Zhang) - one of the “Three Great Internal Arts of Northern China”.

The first part of the book introduces the basic principles and techniques of Pa Kua Chuan (Bagua Zhang). The second part describes and illustrates in detail the so-called "The 33 Methods of Pa Kua for Self-Defense".

Pa Kua Chang (Bagua Zhang) deals mainly with the use of the palm. In training, it requires one to walk in a circular fashion. As an art, Pa Kua (Bagua) is renowned for its gracefulness and agility. All movements made are smooth and coordinated, and the body employed as a whole. No reliance is placed on using the force generated from only a portion of the body.

Pa Kua Chang (Bagua Zhang) refers to a set of palm maneuvers, totaling eight in number. They are based on the "Eight diagrams" of the I Ching. When these eight are variably combined, they in turn give rise to sixty four other palm maneuvers. The eight basic maneuvers are also known as "the Eight Mother Maneuvers”.

A must have for all Pa Kua (Ba Gua) practioners.
