” Baguazhang, is said to be the sister of T’ai Chi Ch’uan, the mother ofthe three ‘internal systems’.
It is one of the newest Chinese heal-ing/martial arts of the internal system and contains the very best ofthe ShaolinMartial arts as well as the very best of the Buddhism or Taoismfighting arts.
Its intricacies are great and one is able to continually discovernew techniques from within the complex postures and movements whichgo together to build the framework which we call the Baguazhang form orkata.
Invented by one man, the form has been slowly added to and takenaway from until we have come to a highly evolved form of healing orself-defense which only relies upon the palms and feet for attack and de-fense.
With mainly circular foot movement, the form lays stress upon thestability of the stance and the flexibility of the waist which is compli-mented by the vigorous movements of the arms and palms while alwaysbeing coordinated in legs, waist and upper body.
Bagua is said to have thefastest footwork of any martial art.
Throughout this book, I will be making mention of “dim-Mak” or deathpoint striking and some points used in this art.
Baguazhang is a dim-Makart.

What is Martial arts ?

Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practiced for a number of reasons such as self-defense; military and law enforcement applications; competition; physical, mental, and spiritual development; entertainment; and the preservation of a nation’s intangible cultural heritage.

Although the term martial art has become associated with the fighting arts of East Asia, it originally referred to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. The term is derived from Latin and means “arts of Mars”, the Roman god of war. Some authors have argued that fighting arts or fighting systems would be more appropriate on the basis that many martial arts were never “martial” in the sense of being used or created by professional warriors.
