Grappling BaJi Quan Big Frame - A 214X This is the fourth book in the Baji series from Zheng. This entire series should catch the attention of all those people interested in Baji Quan technique and/or comparative martial studies. The core idea of this series is at least one instructor’s examination of how Baji is applied in fighting. This volume starts with the famous Da Baji form, one of the core sets. After demonstrating this it goes on, as each book in this series, to break down many variations most of which show throwing and grappling techniques. What is intriguing about the series is that it has so many examples of OTHER INSTRUCTORS, shown in film stripe sections, to give a comparison of different interpretations of Baji. References all gathered in one book include: Huo Wen Xue, Tan Ji Tang, Li Yuan Zhi, the ShangDong GuoShu Guan, Zhang Long, Wu Lian Zhi, Li Jun Yi, Liu Yun Chiao, Gao Pu Mao and others. |

Grappling BAJI Boxing "Small BaJi" - TC 530
This is a re-issue of Lion Book A-211 below but with a smaller but thicker format (271 versus 111 pages, etc). This is the first of Lion Books extensive series on Baji as a fighting form. Like the following books, it show applications easily understood from the photos and, of interest, photos of other famous Baji instructors performing the set (though not as much as later volumes—see LB 214 above). A solid addition to a BaJi library. |

BAJI
QUAN Small Frame - TC 824
This book is devoted to the first major set of the Bajiquan style: Xiao Jia or Small Frame. This forms shows the very "structure" of the style, hence the name. The particular branch of that style represented here is the Huo branch, a well known off shoot of the tree. Interestingly, the Wu branch of Baji represented by another version of the same set is also shown. The photographs are well done and neatly arranged. They are clear and understandable. |

Here is a collector's prize. Grandmaster Liu Yun Chiao -the top student of one of BaJi's greatest fighters, Li Shu Wen - demonstrating his art with the aid of a very young Jason Tsou . The BaJi Structure or Small BaJi as it is called, is first demonstrated by Liang Ji Tzu, one of Liu's oldest students and the man, as we recall, responsible for teaching Chiang Kai Shek's bodyguards in that period. Another set, Linked BaJi is shown by Zhou Ming Yong. Then GM Liu demonstrates usage on Jason Tsou. The photos are not great (click picture to see an example) but more than adequate. The book is a must, non negotiable, for BaJi collectors. |

Huo Style BAJI
QUAN - TC 318
A difficult book to find now. Published in a series from the Hubei Science and Technology Press in 1994 this book uses traditional characters. We have very few of these when we have them in stock. This text sports color pictures in the front piece, an introduction with some of the famous Chan Si Jin winging drawings associated with Baji, general remarks. It then goes into the photo breakdown of Xiao Baji (Small Frame) with many photos cut and pasted. After this is a version of the two person Baji form. Specific remarks refer to the Huo branch of this great style. NOTE: Do not expect a pristine copy of this. The specifics of this book design pretty much preclude a perfect edition. Especially since the 1994 edition is probably the only one ever printed. We will, of course, send the best of what we have in stock—when we have it in stock. |

energies. Stomping is introduced along with the powerful but elegant
