Bagua Linked Palms

Master Wang Shujin (19041981) was one of the worlds foremost exponents of Chinese internal martial arts, with legendary expertise in the disciplines of Bagua Zhang, Taiji Quan, and Xingyi Quan. This book offers a lucid translation of Master Wangs seminal work on Bagua Zhang and includes expanded instruction by co-translator and noted Bagua Zhang expert Kent Howard. It also introduces readers to a rarely seen personal side of Wang Shujin, who was not only a fighter but also a teacher and spiritual leader.

Bagua Linked Palms includes a wealth of additional information useful to the practitioner of internal martial arts, including the story of Bagua Zhangs development, the connection between the Bagua and the I Ching, and step-by-step instruction in the eight changes of Bagua Linked Palms, the first form in Master Wangs style of Bagua Zhang. This comprehensive, richly annotated text makes it a must-have addition to every serious martial arts library.
