Ba Ji or Eight Extreme Fist is known to be straightforward and powerful. It is widely practiced in Meng Village, Cang Zhou County, He Bei, northern China. In the previous book, "Ba Zi Jie Xie: A Talk on Rake Fist", the basic 7 hand methods were discussed. They are Cloud (Yun), Pull (Luo), Rise (Ti), Press (An), Hook (Diao), Enclose (Bao) and Entanglement (Chan). In addition, there is the 8th hand method called Stick (Zhan). From the 8 basic hand methods, we may further develop and characterize 24 hand methods. In current book, the 24 hand methods will be introduced. They are represented by 24 single Chinese characters. Each hand method may be coupled to one or 2 other hand methods. These hand methods are interchangeable among themselves. It is a good book for people that are interested in the style. The analysis of fighting methods is universal among all styles. Thus, it is also a good book for people that practice other styles.

Ba Ji boxing methods were used by the special service units both in Taiwan and China. The key tactics and strategy are by getting close to the opponent first. There are 6 ways of opening the door or gaining access to the vital area of an opponent. They are Ding (push), Bao (enclose), Ti (rise), Dan (single), Kua (hip) and Chan (entanglement). In the previous book "Ba Zi Jie Xi: A Talk on Rake Fist", the hand methods are briefly discussed. In the current book, the small frame routine is introduced. In the beginning of the 20th century, there were only 16 postures in the routine. Wu Xiu Feng added some more postures to make the routine into 24 postures. Later, Wu compiled 12 versions/routines of the small frame. Xiao Jia or small frame consists of foundational structures for Ba Ji fighting methods. All postures may be practiced as standing in posture or breathing exercise. The moves also carry symbolism for the nature. We start with Wu Ji stance. We then open Tai Ji by assuming Liang Yi stance. And then we have 4 directions or Si Xiang by assuming the Lion Opening its Mouth and Cross Fist postures. When we reverse the side of our fist or palm, we have Ba Gua. The 6 ways of opening the door are also represented by the postures in the routine. In short, people may practice this set of moves for health and fitness, in addition to original martial applications. The original name for each posture is used. Each posture may consist of several moves. All the moves are illustrated with pictures. There are many variations of this routine. Only the common ones are examined in this book. This book provides the reader a valid and universal base to study and practice.

Praying mantis boxing methods mimic the shape and function of strong forelegs of a praying mantis. There are very rapid steps that are light in transition but heavy in ending. There are both soft and hard hand methods. We neutralize the opponent with steps and counter attack at the same time. One move is rapidly changed into another move. Both hands and legs are very busy or fast in changing. This book introduced the basic stepping and body methods that make our hand and leg moves work. This book is essential for anyone interested in this style of Chinese martial arts.

Relative to the extensive neuroscientific work on seated meditation practices, far less studies have investigated the neural mechanisms underlying movement-based contemplative practices such as yoga or tai chi. Movement-based practices have, however, been found to be effective for relieving the symptoms of several clinical conditions, and to elicit measurable changes in physiological, neural, and behavioral parameters in healthy individuals. An important challenge for neuroscience is therefore to advance our understanding of the neurophysiological and neurocognitive mechanisms underlying these observed effects, and this Research Topic aims to make a contribution in this regard. It showcases the current state of the art of investigations on movement-based practices including yoga, tai chi, the Feldenkrais Method, as well as dance. Featured contributions include empirical research, proposals of theoretical frameworks, as well as novel perspectives on a variety of issues relevant to the field. This Research Topic is the first of its kind to specifically attempt a neurophysiological and neurocognitive characterization that spans multiple mindful movement approaches, and we trust it will be of interest to basic scientists, clinical researchers, and contemplative practitioners alike.

Originally there were only 3 old palms. Over several generations of practitioners, 8 palm methods were compiled. From these 8 palm methods, 64 palm methods were derived. Thus we call the original 8 palm methods "old 8 palms" or "8 large palms". These palm methods are the foundation of Ba Gua Zhang fighting methods. Due to diversified schools and lineages, there are many variations of the 8 palm methods. In this book, the 8 palm methods from Cheng Ting Hua style are introduced. For anyone that is interested in Ba Gua Zhang fighting methods, the contents of this book are essential to know. The 8 palm methods may derive into more fighting methods. They are like the 8 diagrams in the book of change or Yi Jing. Thus they gained the name of Ba Gua Zhang(Eight Diagrams Palm).
