CHAPTER 9

INTRODUCTION:

B aguazhang, is said to be the sister of T'ai Chi Ch'uan, the mother of the three

'internal systems'. It is one of the newest Chinese healing/martial arts of the internal

system and contains the very best of the Shaolin Martial arts as well as the very best of

the Buddhism or Taoism fighting arts. Its intricacies are great and one is able to

continually discover new techniques from within the complex postures and movements

which go together to build the framework which we call the Baguazhang form or kata.

Invented by one man, the form has been slowly added to and taken away from until we

have come to a highly evolved form of healing or self-defence which only relies upon the

palms and feet for attack and defence. With mainly circular foot movement, the form lays

stress upon the stability of the stance and the flexibility of the waist which is

complimented by the vigorous movements of the arms and palms while always being

coordinated in legs, waist and upper body. Bagua is said to have the fastest footwork

of any martial art.

Throughout this book, I will be making mention of "dim-Mak" or death point striking and

some points used in this art. Baguazhang is a dim-Mak art. I suggest that you get a

copy of my encyclopaedia "The Erle Montaigue Encyclopaedia of Dim-Mak"

available from the publisher of this book, Paladin Press in Boulder Colorado in the

USA.

Dim-Mak literally means "Death Point Striking" whereby the practitioner is taught to

strike to either one, or multiples of dim-Mak points in the human body causing effects

that range from a simple knock out to maiming and death, or even effects that manifest

many years from when the strike was felt.

Every movement in Baguazhang has a meaning and is aimed at the dim-Mak points.

Bagua is often referred to as "the art of overkill".

THE MARTIAL ART:

Two methods of attack and defence are taught.

The first method is given to larger people who are able to literally crash their way in

through any defence enabling them to reach the body's centre, this is the basic way of

defence whereby we attack anything that comes within range.

The second method is mainly for smaller people. From the very basics of the eight palm

changes or Bagua Cheng Chung, (Orthodox Eight Diagram), the practitioner is able

to go on to the highest level of Bagua fighting, the 'DRAGON PALM FORM'.

This form consists of circular foot movements, which enables the practitioner to evade

to the side and come in at the rear in a circular movement at various speeds thus

perplexing the opponent.

At this level, attacks are mostly executed from the rear, having got around there by

using the very unique Bagua stepping method. This method is mainly for smaller people

who do not have the physical strength of the larger person and particular attention must

be given to training the waist to gain more power and flexibility, as this is where almost all

of the power for Bagua is derived. If one is able to control the waist with one's mind,

then the waist will control the legs and feet.

THE HEALING ART:

Baguazhang is just as sophisticated as its mother art of Taijiquan, it is one of the

greatest healing arts. The healing side of Bagua is not as well documented as

Taijiquan, however, I am working on fixing that situation. (See the article at the end of

this introduction). But if we look at the relative ages of when the old Bagua masters

died, (excluding those who died in battles etc.,) then we get an idea of how good this

form is for health as most of them lived to very old and healthy ages.

The constant training of the waist, twisting, turning, bending etc, results in an effective

exercise for the joints, sinews, muscles and internal organs so one is not only training in a

fighting art but also a healing art. It is interesting to note that most of the old Bagua

practitioners lived to very old ages, those who weren't killed in fights or the 'Boxer
