Ba Ji 24 Hand Methods and Classics Peter Jaw

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.
