This four-book series on the traditional Chinese Iron Palm is the most complete and thorough treatment of this subject ever. Prior to this book series, with the exception of Grandmaster Brian Gray¿s first two books, there were no scholarly books on the subject, and the few books that were available contained only fragments of the knowledge on this ancient art. Now, for the first time ever, everything there is to know about the Chinese Iron Palm is contained in one complete set of books. Every question is answered thoroughly and scholarly, and the student is taken from beginner level all the way through to master level. Scholarly, factual, thorough and complete, this is truly the ultimate Iron Palm book series. Book #4: There has never been a form for the Iron Palm. There is a reason for that which is contained in this book. I created an Iron Palm form so that martial artists and non-martial artists would be able to practice self-defense techniques that coordinate perfectly with the Iron Palm theories. Regardless of a person¿s training level or martial art style, this form gives theory and application a three-dimensional practice regimen.
A comprehensive guide to the fundamentals, sequences, and applications of Baguazhang. Baguazhang is unquestionably one of the most esoteric disciplines in martial arts. Based on the eight trigrams (bagua) of the Yi Jing, it emphasizes the importance of maneuverability, evasion, and change to deflect an aggressor's attacks. Unlike martial arts systems that employ overt punches, kicks, and grappling techniques, most of the bodily weapons of the baguazhang arsenal are well concealed, agile, and smooth. Utilizing deceptive forms of footwork and body shifting, the principles and techniques in this book will help readers develop a firm foundation and build a critical skill set for this unique martial art. Longtime martial arts practitioner and author Phillip Starr introduces readers to the basics of baguazhang, showing how the movements of this widely misunderstood art can be practically applied in self-defense. Readers will learn: • Key baguazhang principles • Footholds • Basic stepping techniques, walking exercises, and postures • Proper alignments • "Mother palms," or basic exercises critical to the development of the "bagua body" Ideal for newcomers to baguazhang, this introduction elucidates the two foundational Single Change and Double Change Palms and offers a refresher for advanced practitioners looking to further explore applications for movements they already know.
