Baji Quan (Eight Ultimates Boxing)

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.
