Bagua Linked Palms - SC 132
形意八卦掌—健身与技击
By Song Di Lei 宋狄雷
$18.95 Simplified Chinese Characters
198 pages, photographs, softbound

This book is on the combined styles of Xing Yi and Bagua but with aa distinct leaning toward reintrepreting Bagua with Xing Yi flavor added. It shows a lot of training methods some of them simple such as basic iron palm slapping and some more interesting such as a series of different execises with the Bagua poles. Next comes a formal section with the animals changes emphasized based on Bagua's eight animals and a somewhat Xing Yi inspired intrepretation of them. Finally a lot of rather free drawings of Bagua applications many inspired by the classic book and others, including multiple attackers, by a more imaginative muse.

A compendium, the name suggests, of the Liang Branch of Bagua practice. Direct lineage teachers show the basic circling palms of this system along with applications and a "64 move" application set somewhat like the linear style of Gao Branch. One of the few books on the very respectable Liang Zhen Pu branch of the art. This book covers a lot of Bagua including principles, form, body arts relating to all parts, five form palm, strategy, the "36 Song", 48 hands methods, health issues, usge, applications and more. A clear and useful manual on the entire Bagua system.

Guo Gu Min (1887 - 1968) was a major proponent of Bagua. Early on he started to learn and communicate with many Bagua masters and had access to a wealth of information on martial arts. He was taught by such varied master as Yi Fu, Kiu Feng Chun, Li Cun Yi. At this time separate styles were no barrier since Bagua still reflected its common origin with Dong Hai Chuan. Guo wrote on Bagua even revealing some special techniques from Dong Hai Chuan never written before. He taught many hundreds of people and was instrumental in Bagua's development especially in the BeiJing area. Among his contributions were the 64 Hands Straight Line practice and the Bagua Hook Swords.
