Any time we get to add a new translation from Andrea Falk, we celebrate. Her work is always thoughtful and firmly based, and one never gets the feeling that the translation is machine-generated (because it isn’t)! Now, about the book, The Tiger Crane Form: Chinese -English Edition of Lin Shirong’s book, revised by Zhu Yuqi. […]

Second Look: Pakua Journal
Since the circle is such a crucial aspect of most Baguazhang styles, we don’t feel too bad coming around every once in a while to reexamine a book, video or, in this case, a CD, relating to Bagua.

Southern Taizu and Northern Chaquan — Translated
