Pages, Softbound. Illustrated.

of 80 year old Di Bei-Long. Wu Dang according to the text is

are the numerous writings, short sections of the "secret" records

BAGUA QI GONG - SC 314
by Ren Shou Tong
$11.95 Simplified Chinese
Characters Only
132 Pages, Softbound, Photographs including color, published 1994, this edition 1997.
Yes, this volume has demonstration pictures by THE Xie Pei Qi. Here is a series of Qi Gong exercises from Shihfu Xie's health system which, just to be technically accurate, is not actually supposed to originate in the Yin Fu Bagua system which made him famous. On the other hand when a master instructor assimilates such information into a system it definitely becomes an important edition. Xie showed very good knowledge of some interesting health practices in very traditional matters. This is no exception. There are a number of Yoga like Chi Kung postures from the reclining position and eight small animal changes demonstrated by Mr. Ren in the Bagua manner. This book correlates health principles from Bagua and the trigrams. We think this one will be a collector's item. |

"San Shou"- free hand - can have a number of meanings
in different martial contexts. In this case one might think
of it as a "linking set" as in Xing Yi. The core form
to this book is a series of movements which are not structured
around the circle. BaGua San Shou also refers to spontaneous
practice of turning and changing. In addition a number of BaGua
Chi Kung type exercises. |

Said to be the first text printed on the BaGua of Mr. Qi's

BEFORE BIRTH palm sequence, a short routine of spinning known
as Five Dragons, then an extensive breakdown on the AFTER BIRTH
palms. Notes on true BaGua transmissions from Hua Shan. This book starts with an illustrated talk on the Bagua-I Jing relationship to Wu Ji and You Ji. Very interesting.
Here is Wu Meng Xia's work... |
"The Drilling Palm is the source of knowledge and skill,
Cherish the principles of the Yin Yang Eight Changes.
The Nine Palaces mysteriously transform,
Yin and Yang move mysteriously without limit,
Supporting longevity, enlarging skills,
Like a tree root encircling the footwork wraps.
Thus well grounded the techniques flower,
The essence of the art produces a grand achievement." |
