Bajiquan

[KnightlyMongoose]

The system I study has a form by the name Bajiquan. I really love this form and I recently heard that there is an entire system by that name. Anybody know anything about it?

Most modern baji comes from Li Shu Wen.

He re-married baji with a system called piqua. It had been seperated from baji for several hundred years.

Grandmaster Liu Yun Chiao brought these styles from China to Taiwan where he taught it to the military and later at his Wu Tang organization.

Baji is a powerful, close range to no range system complimented by Piqua for long power. It's known for it's vicious elbow techniques.

Hope this helps.

Your welcome!. :ultracool

Sounds like your teacher integrated a bit of baji with other systems. Can I ask what other systems he/she teaches and where?:yinyang:

You may note that there are others clips related to this as well.

I hope this helps. Bajiquan is quite popular in many parts of the world outside of China. But it has not quite caught on in the Americas yet. That may change.
