Publisher's Synopsis
Baguazhang (Eight Trigram Palms) is one of the 3 traditional internal martial arts of China. It is unique in that it mostly employs palms instead of fists and moves in continuous circular motions. The Art of War and other books on military strategy deal with needs of the battlefield. Here the two branches of martial thought come together to enlighten the modern warrior. This book leaves the techniques of fighting to others, and instead delves past the veil of mystery to equip the seeker with a higher advantage. This book is for martial artists who struggle to understand the Tao from an internal martial arts perspective and who want to experience the Tao (as best they can) from a simple Western mindset grounded in a scientific base.
