## Stretching Power

The basic strength in Tai Chi, also known as mother strength, refers to the high integration of the physical and mental state of a person with the boxing method and the environment, and requires a certain degree of knowledge in boxing to be understood.

In Taijiquan, the "stretching force" is always consistent, and the "stretching force" in the boxing can be integrated and coordinated with any technique.

Tai Chi

The person who "strokes strength" is not stiff or stagnant, the inside and the outside are unified, one breath penetrates, the strength is round, mixed into one, responds to the touch, responds freely, and has flexible elasticity in nature. This force is rigid and soft transient. , Faintly and without a trace, change with change, do whatever one wants, is "doing nothing", that is, "changes because of the enemy is also magical" in boxing theory. Taijiquan who possesses "stretching strength", no matter the one or two arms are naturally braced, they have the skill of "can't push, can't pull, can't pick up, can't hold down", and they are flexible, vigorous and solid. Without dying, there is no sense of stiffness. Tai Chi practitioners are prepared with "strength" and "five bows".

The boxing theory requires "strength is like pulling a thread, and making strength is like shooting an arrow." Everything is easy to come, easy to go. It is also the so-called " intention without effort ". There is no effort to do anything , and eventually it is invisible and unintentional but true. "Stretching", soft but not soft, rigid but not hard, harmony between Yin and Yang, and fairness.

## Peng (掤)

Peng (掤) has its own meaning in TaiChiQuan not the original meaning as lid for container of arrows. There are Taiji old saying described Peng energy as boat on water or flea on surface of drum. What I learnt from Master Chen is that Peng energy is like trampoline. When someone jumps on the trampoline, the surface of trampoline is stretched and the weight dropped on the trampoline is equally contributed. When we “peng” with the opponent’s incoming force, we do not apply force directly against the contact point but stretch out the body like trampoline until we match the force of the opponent. Suppose the force is 100 pounds, the force will be equally distributed in the body structure and different part of your body may bear say 5 pounds to match it. It is like the surface of the trampoline have 20 springs linked the outer frame and the surface and if the weight is 100 pounds so each spring shares 5 pounds to match it.

PoBei BaJiQuan

## Description

PoBei Village Bajiquan refers to the Bajiquan taught by the Zhang Family of PoBei Village, starting with Zhang Yong-Tai. It is not to be confused with the Zhang Family from LuoTuan, whose Bajiquan stems from Zhang Ke-Ming.

## Martial Arts

The Zhang family are very open about incorporting martial arts from various other schools into their art.

For example, the PoBei Village Manual notes:

> The pear-flower spear was taught by Mr Liu ZhiMing (刘之明) from our county. In YinJiaZhuang (i.e. Yin family hamlet, a hamlet located east of Mengcun), Yin LiangTian (尹良田) taught his sons Yin DianYuan (尹殿元) and Yin DianFu (尹殿辅). Yin DianYuan and Zhang JiuHe were close friends, thus he taught his spear technique to Zhang JiuHe, Zhang ShuNian and Zhang ShuDian. Zhang Shu-Nian taught this spear technique to Zhang ZhongYue, and also to Zhang ZhongYu and Zhang ZhongXia.

Wu Xiufeng 吴秀峰

Wu Xiufeng was a 6th Generationmaster of Wu Family Kai Men Bajiquan and is considered the "grandfather" of many modern systems of bajiquan.

## Life

Wu Xiufeng was born in 1908 (the 34th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty) to the Wu family of Mengcun, Cangzhou, Hebei. His father, Wu Huiqing, was the fith generation inheritor of the family's martial arts and was known as "Iron Palm".

### Childhood

In his youth, the combination of a hearing impairment and the shock of his mother's death, led to him being a very withdrawn child. It is said Wu struggled to communicate and talk to others, even until he was 10-years-old, however, he was very interested in people practicing martial arts in his yard. It was is around this time that, by chance, his father discovered that Wu had a good understanding of what he was watching and so he began to systematically and formally teach his son the family's Bajiquan.

### Military Career

Wu once served as a national martial arts instructor for the Red Army troops in Jiangxi, and instructed Red Army soldiers to practice Bajiquan. In 1931, Wutravelled to Zaozhuang to teach martial arts at the invitation of several famous masters including Han Huachen, Zuo Shuang and Li Guangju.

Wu Zhong Yu 吴钟毓

Wu ZhongYu (吴钟毓) was a member of the Hui minority, originating from MengCun village, his date of birth and death were not recorded. He was the descedent of  Wu SanShan (吴三善) (another branch of the Wu family living in MengCun), and Wu Zhong in his later years adopted him as one of his disciples.

## Biography

Although little is known about Wu ZhongYu, we do know that he learned martial arts from his childhood, he was assiduous and made an important contribution to the elaboration of the early shape of BajiQuan. A lot of his disciples and descendants were accomplished practitioners, especially Wu Mei 吴梅 (the son of Wu ZhongYu's nephew) who was nicknamed “Mei ErYe” i.e. "Mei the second" (梅二爷), and  Wu ShiKe (吴世科, the son of Wu Mei). These three generations of people had a strong influence that reached over 100 miles around MengCun. For instance, Wu Mei had disciples up to the PoBei (泊北) village located about 15 km noth east of MengCun. Since the posterity directly related to Wu ZhongYu is quite dispersed in the region around MengCun, recorded data are sparse and the Wu family martial manual only mentions two direct disciples for Wu ZhongYu : his son Wu LianCheng (吴连城) and Wu Mei.

DanDa 单打

## Name

DanDa 单打, meaning "Single Form" . It is sometimes translated or referred to as the "Big Form" and is also the form commonly seen in Wushu Taolu competitions under the name "BajiQuan".

## History

DanDa is considered to be one of the original 3 Bajiquan Taolu alongside XiaoJia and SiLang Kuan.

Variations of this Taolu have been added into several other systems in the decades following the Nanjing Decade. In many of these systems it is considered an "advanced" form, or one that is taught after basic training and mastery of several others.

## The Form

The DanDa form is based on the vertical transformations of the LiangYi Ding position. This form is predominantly for developing power, and features much larger movements than the Xiaojia 小架. This form is fairly consistent between different schools, and while there are differences in execution, there is less variety in the actual movements used to make the set - this is because the two halves of Danda must fit together to make Duida, and those any changes in one half would require amendment of the second half.

There are roughly 48 postures in the taolu - though this may vary depending on the systemMost systems of bajiquan will demonstrate a characteristic opening salute that varies between systems.

### DuiDa

DuiDa refers to the two-person variation of the DanDa set, present in many systems of Bajiquan. It is used used as a form of Duì Liàn 对练 (pair training), this form features a number of simultaneous strikes, and is done with enough force to also serve to condition both practitioners. It is made by combining the two halves of with each partner performing one half. It can also be looped indefinitely, as parts fit together to form a cycle.

Quān Bào Zhǎng 圈抱掌

Quan Bao Zhang is one of the eight JinGang BaShi found in most systems of BaJi Quan.

## Description

Quān Bào Zhǎng 圈抱掌 ("Three Circle Embrace") is the eight and last of the JinGang BaShi. It's name refers to the big circular motions that are trained by this technique.

This movement trains the usage of the back and waist linked with the arms, creating continuous movement with several strikes combined together. The techniques used are big powerful strikes that are meant to disrupt, enter and finish the opponent. The strikes themselves use the whole arm, so they can be shoulder, elbow, forearm or palm hits. The relaxation of the shoulders and usage of the body should make your arms heavy, so that when they hit they will disrupt, unbalance or finish the opponent. The rhythm when training does not need to be too fast, look for your natural rhythm, initiate the movement from the waist and back, then let the heaviness of the movement and arms lead you. When you can find this natural heaviness and rhythm, then you can try to speed it up. One sign of you not doing it correctly is that you get tired and out of breath quickly.

The sequence starts with a back hand strike stepping forward and making ready for the next step, following this in the same movement your back hand strikes with a step forward bringing the feet together. Time the second strike with bringing the feet together and dropping the weight. The last strike comes with stepping forward into a horse stance and again striking with the back side of the arm. All of these swings can be either defensive or offensive movements, taking away the opponents arms, striking into his strikes or attacking with the shoulder, elbow, forearm or hand. After the first repetition you start using a preparation movement with hugging and turning into a chilinbu stance, again training your back and waist, like loading up a spring to explode into action.

Chén Tàijíquán 陳家 太極拳

The **Chen family-style** (陳家、陳氏、陳式 太極拳) or **Chen-style Taijiquan** is a Northern Chinese martial art and the original form of Taiji. Chen-style is characterized by silk reeling (纏絲勁; chán sī jìn), alternating fast and slow motions, and bursts of power (發勁; fa jin).

Traditionally, Taijiquan is practiced as a martial art but has expanded into other domains of practice such as health or performances. Some argue that Chen Style Taijiquan has preserved and emphasized the martial efficacy to a greater extent.

There are five major Taijiquan styles:  Chen (陈式), Yang (楊式), Wu (吴式), Sun (孙式), and Wu (武式, a different Chinese character from the other Wu Style).  The two most important styles are often considered to be the Chen Style and the Yang Style.  The Chen Style was the original Taijiquan style that gave rise directly or indirectly to all other Taijiquan styles.  The Yang Style is the most practiced style in both China and the world today.

There are basically three differences between the Chen Style and the Yang Style:  Speed of movement, force of movement, and the “Silk Cocoon Reeling” (纏絲功) feature of the Chen Style.

Bajiquan Style Guide

This article is a work in progress and will be updated as the wiki grows to improve accessibility, consistency and make editing easier. Please leave comments to help.

## Styles, Families, Schools and Lineages

For simplicity we're going to use the following terminology:

1. For "Kung Fu Styles" we will use the word **System**.
2. For "Sub-styles" of each System, we will use the word **Style**.

There may still be some degree of confusion but hopefully consistency will win out.

## Non-English names

As this is an English language wiki, names will be given as English/Romanised, written with Latin characters. On the first instance of the name in each article, it will be followed by the original name in the native language and script. E.g. **Wu Zhong (吴钟).** Using tone markers for the first instance of a name is also appreciated, though not essential.

### Romanising Chinese Names

Where names are Romanized from Chinese, Pinyin will be used instead of Wade-Giles, e.g. **Baji Quan** not **Pa Ch'i Chuan**.

### Splitting Chinese Names

Where possible, please write in the format **Surname Given Name**, capitalizing each. For ease of reading, please split by "word". i.e. **金刚八式** becomes **JinGang Bashi** not **Jin Gang Ba Shi**.
Huà Jìn 化勁

## Changing Power

One of the 3 Internal Powers of Bajiquan.

With dark energy, it will be easier to turn the energy into the body, but it still needs a lot of hard work.

The difference between Huajin and Anjin: Huajin is not restricted by its routine and footwork in appearance. From the appearance, the footwork of Huajin is similar to that of ordinary pedestrians, but the bodywork is much lower. Regardless of any movement in the exercise, his footwork and bodywork are very flexible, free of charge, responsive, relaxed, and full of energy. At the beginning of the practice, the pace will be slower, and then you can slowly speed up.

Although the practice of Huajin is carried out without stopping, the three sets still need to be closely coordinated to sink the dantian, tuck the abdomen and raise the anus, support the outer circle, and integrate the inside and the outside. Only in this way can the Huajin be obtained. Otherwise, the more you practice, the more scattered you will get nothing.

From the appearance, the Bajiquan is strong and vigorous, and the style of thundering is not at all. In fact, it is not the case. If once the upper body is energized, the vigorous, vigorous, thunderous style and strength not only still exist, but also stronger and more powerful. The difference is that you have moved from the outside to the inside, and you don’t see it!

It is invisible, walks like a dragon, can be applied freely, and it will be triggered at the touch of a moment. This is the unique style of Huajin.

The biggest difficulty in practicing Jin is to gain strength while walking. In order to master this kind of kinetic energy, you can first practice kinetic energy according to the essentials when practicing dark energy without moving around. When energizing, the muscles of the whole body relax, the qi and blood are comfortable, the qi presses the shoulders, supports the outer circle inside, shakes the waist and closes the hips, uses the sound to help the qi, uses the qi to destroy the force, moves in one place, and moves everywhere, so that the inner home can be emitted The unique overall trembling power of the boxing. After that, you can practice energizing while walking around.

## Theory

3. Huajin whole body beating: practice to a high level, at the top, middle, and root sections. There is no power in the whole body, and the whole body is full of strength, where to hit and where to hit. That's what I mean. When it comes to Huajin, you can train all parts of your body to accumulate energy. The so-called mosquitoes and flies cannot fall, and one feather cannot be added. When it comes to Taijiquan, it means going to a small circle, and finally to no circle.
Ba Da Kai 八大開

## Name

Ba Da Kai 六大开 means ”eight big openings” or eight main methods to enter into close combat by opening the doors of an opponent. Doors (or gates) represent the opponents defence , created by their hands, which practitioners of Bajiquan aim to open or crash through (hence  開門 KaiMen - meaning "open-gate" or "gate opening" - in 開門八極拳 KaiMen Bajiquan).

Míng Jìn 明勁

## Light (Visible) Power

One of the 3 Internal Powers of Bajiquan.

## Explanation

After understanding the 3 sanjin kinetic powers, The first step on further internalizing and cultivating qi is reaching the Míng Jìn stage. Takes most players 7-8 Years after the 3 year grinding period. (Training 6 days a week, long sessions and living as a pro career Martial Artist)

It is common for lineages to teach Bajiquan; Sanjin and the Míng Jìn stage more openly to students. The remaining two internal powers remained very coveted and was rarely taught or mentioned outside of trusted disciples. In short, the belief of Reaching Ming was the end goal for most people. The teacher would then reveal that you've reached Ming, and not the "end".

## Theory

First of all, it is required that the speed of the exercise should not be too fast. Every action must be clean, completed neatly, and not sluggish. The upper, middle and lower three sets are closely coordinated and coordinated. Focusing on vigor and strength, he plays Bajiquan in a powerful, steady, and thunderous style.

The step type is mainly horse step (if you can master it, four or six steps are better). The internal breathing must be allowed to be natural, and never hold your breath. Even though it is playing Mingjin, the muscles of the whole body should be relaxed and not dead.

Bajiquan itself has more stomping feet (stomping the feet means shaking the feet), especially for Mingjin stomping. Therefore, when the beginners practice, they can't stamp their feet too hard and hit too much. Although stomping the foot is helpful to mastering Ming Jin, it is easy to hurt people if the stomping foot is too hard when the internal Dantian Kungfu is not on the body.

The main requirements of Ming Jin's level of kung fu are to achieve the correct grasp of the movements and postures of the boxing frame, the coordination of the shape of the three sets, and the preliminary grasp of the overall strength of the Bajiquan.

## Theory

1. Ming Jin hits with a fist: Ordinary people hit a person with their fist. That's right. The term is called Shao Jie Jin. Hit people with fists and kick people with their feet. That's it. It's just that we who practice martial arts practice this energy in a standardized way. No matter what realm you are in, even if you are at Huajin, you will still have clear energy when hitting people. And this Ming Jin is the foundation. If Ming Jin does not practice well, it is difficult for the body to have strength. Specifically, Taijiquan uses dantian as the center to drive the limbs to walk in a big circle and open and close together. This is the first level.

* Li ShuWen 李书文

## Early Life

### Names

He was also known as **"God Spear Li" 神槍李** due to his prowess with the Liu He Da Qiang.

## Martial Arts Career

#### Tianjing

During his time in Tianjing, he became sworn brothers with with Li Cunyi and Li Ruidong and exchanged his Bajiquan with Li Ruidong for training in Jingang Bashi. This leads credence to the implication that the Jingang Bashi are very useful for Bajiquan, as Li Ruidong was considered one of (if not the) best martial artists in Tianjing at the time - it is not likely that Li Ruidong would have shared his skills for anything that was not of equal value.

## Legacy

### In popular culture

Li Shuwen is featured in several pieces of media from the **Type-MOON** franchise, including:

* **Assassin** in the **Koha-Ace** **(コハエース)** manga, the **Type-Moon Academy Chibichuki!** **(TYPE-MOON学園 ちびちゅき)** manga, **Capsule Servant (カプセルさーばんと)** PSP VITA game and '''***Fate/EXTRA*** (フェイト/エクストラ) **PSP game.**

Jason Liao

Jason Liao is a Personal protection operative, combat instructor, chef. Disciple of George Ling Hu of Side Gate Bajiquan. He is also an experienced chef.

## Martial Arts

### Training

Liao began his training in Chinese martial arts at the age of 9 under his Sifu George Ling Hu, learning Shaolin Long Fist as well as Cheng Ting Hua Ba Gua and Hebei Xing Yi. Not understanding what he was looking for in the martial arts, Jason left his teacher and began learning under Eugene Chou whom trained him in the Gong Family system of Ba Gua Zhang. It was here that Jason began his lifelong approach to martial arts training for combat effectiveness. Jason later on also learned under John Wang of Shuai Jiao ( Chinese Wrestling) and David Chin under the Tibetan Hop Gar system. In this time period, Jason crossed hands constantly to implement his arts, including competing in full contact tournaments, Chinese wrestling, as well as working as a bouncer for a number of years before entering the restaurant industry as a chef.

After a hiatus in training for a number of years, Jason felt something was missing. A fateful range of events lead to returning to the doorstep of his original master George Ling Hu. Following along from where he left off on his journey, Jason asked his Sifu to train him in Bajiquan for it’s combat effectiveness.

Feeling that the Chinese martial arts of the modern age was being seriously watered down, Sifu George Ling Hu broke traditional approach and trained Jason in a modern manner by de-emphasizing forms training and drilling him on structure/power generation as well as combat methods in Liu Yun Qiao’s Bajiquan. Years of testing and continued study is what led birth to this unique lineage of “Side Gate”.
