Bagua Zhang, ' or 'Eight-Trigram-Palm' in English, is also known as 'Swimming Body Bagua Zhang' or 'Bagua Linked Palms.' It is a martial art based on palm-techniques, fluid changes of direction, and circle-walking. Fundamentally, Bagua Zhang is one of the three famous internal martial arts schools in Chinese Wushu (the others being Taichi Quan and Xingyi Quan). It is also an embodiment of Taoist health, fitness, and self-defense. It is both an internal and external exercise which blends martial art techniques with Dao-Yin 导引(Dao means to lead, Yin means to guide; Dao-Yin refers to lead Qi in to make the breathing harmony, and guide physical to cause the body flexible) and Tu-Na 吐纳(Tu means to expel, Na means to ingest; Tu-Na refers to expel the old energy, and draw in the new). Accordingly, the practitioner's body will become strong and supple while he/she develops offensive and defensive fighting skills. According to historians, Bagua Zhang was created during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911AD.) by Grant Master Dong, Haichuan (1813-1882). Legend says that he acquired his art after learning Taoist cultivation practices during a tour to south China. He then combined these practices with martial arts techniques he knew in order to create a new system

One of the three major orthodox internal styles of Chinese martial arts (along with Xing Yi Quan and Tai Ji Quan), Bagua Zhang (or Ba Gua Zhang) is also one of the most ancient and revered. The first volume in a series of two on the form, Liu Bin’s Zhuang Gong Bagua Zhang, Volume One, is written from the perspective of a wise master who gives equal attention to Bagua’s historical evolution and to the art and practice itself. A disciple of famous master Liu Xing Han and one who honed his skills for over 20 years under the same trees in Temple of Heaven Park as the originators of Bagua, Professor Zhang Jie is ideally suited for the task. He presents the fundamental theories of Bagua simply and clearly, in such a way that they comprise both a martial arts manual and a guide for everyday living. The idea of balance in all things is stressed throughout, as is the ancient Chinese philosophy that underlies Bagua. In addition to illustrations of the Bagua movements, the book contains previously unpublished historical photographs. Equally useful for novice and seasoned practitioners, as well as students of Chinese culture and history, Liu Bin’s Zhuang Gong Bagua Zhang immerses readers in all aspects of this important martial art.

The Taoist yogic discipline of Ba Gua is an internal form of the ancient art of kung fu--as are the much older t'ai chi and Xing I. Ba Gua is the most arcane and yogic of three sister arts--t'ai chi and Xing I are the others--and is distinguished by serpentine turning and circling momvements and its own internal energy exercises, Ba Gua Qi Gong.

The art of Bagua Zhang is best known for its circular forms, yet linear fighting techniques have been incorporated into Bagua practice by many renowned masters. Liu Dekuan, a student of Dong Haichuan (the founder of Bagua Zhang), was one such master, devising a set of 64 techniques performed in straight lines. These techniques were collected and preserved by Master Liu’s disciple Gao Wencheng and his family, passed down from generation to generation. In The 64 Hands of Bagua Zhang, author Gao Jiwu—the grandson of Gao Wencheng—brings these techniques to the English-speaking world. Well known for his expertise in the 64 Hands form, Master Gao explains the history of the art, his family’s place in it, and the key principles for practice. The heart of the book is the complete set of Liu Dekuan’s 64 techniques; the solo forms are each explained in detail and then elaborated on to demonstrate their practical applications. Clear photographs fully illustrate the movements of the complete form and practice drills. Translated by Nigel Sutton, who has studied with the Gao family since the early 1980s, The 64 Hands of Bagua Zhang helps readers fully understand this form of Bagua Zhang.
