BaJi Quan is said to date back hundreds
of years and has traditionally only been used by the Emperor's
imperial guards. This powerful form of Kung Fu projects energy
forward like a canon. This approach to BaJi comes directly from
Li Shu Wen the most famous modern master of the style. The same
man whose students served as bodyguards to Mao Tse- Tung (Li
Chen-Wu), Chiang Kai-Shek (Liu Yun Chiao) and the last Emperor,
Pu-Yee (Ho Tien-Kuo).Su Yu Chang is in direct lineage through
another famous BaJi teacher, Liu Yun Chiao. See biographical information on the teachers.
BaJi
is one of our favorite styles. And no wonder. Powerful, fluid
and incredibly simple while being truly beautiful at the same
time, Eight Ultimates (BaJi) captures your attention from the
first moment you see it .
Baji is known throughout China as an extremely effective
form, it is often called "The Bodyguard Style". Ba Ji is based on driving force and exquisite body mechanics gleaned
from the actions of the Tiger and the Bear. See more about this style.
