Characterized by its spinning movements and extremely evasive footwork, ba gua is often used as a means to protect others, much like a good mother holding her child's hand as they cross a busy street. In this combination of philosophical treatise, health manual, and self-defense text, Allen Pittman details the history, philosophy, and techniques of straight-line ba gua zhang, which means eight trigram palm in reference to the seminal trigrams of the \u003ci\u003eI Ching. \u003c\/i\u003eThe book contains eight parts corresponding to the eight sections of the \u003ci\u003eI Ching\u003c\/i\u003e, each representing a different elemental manifestation and martial arts principle. Descriptions of the symbology, cultural, anatomical, and tactical details of each set are taught as well as detailed instructions on the form practice. Illustrated throughout with step-by-step drawings and photographs, the book shows how ba gua zhang, driven by \u003ci\u003eI Ching \u003c\/i\u003ewisdom, helps students cultivate a sense of centeredness and spontaneity and use this martial art in every aspect of their lives.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49562259521809,"sku":"GOR005565431","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50392766742801,"sku":"CIN1583942149G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52625427628305,"sku":"CIN1583942149VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1583942149.jpg?v=1750991891"},{"product_id":"chinese-internal-boxing-book-allen-pittman-9780804838245","title":"Chinese Internal Boxing","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eChinese Internal Boxing: Techniques of Hsing-I and Pa-kua\u003c\/i\u003e is an illustrated martial arts guide to two soft-style Chinese martial arts.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chinese internal boxing and other internal martial arts do not depend on muscular strength.
