Book excerpt: 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 Baguazhang Tao of War is the follow-on book after The Baguazhang Art of War. Here the martial arts of Baguazhang is further developed from the vantage point of being in the Tao. This is different form being a Taoist, which is rooted in religious Taoism.Not everything in this book will be understood by the reader the first time round... And that is okay. The Baguazhang circle does not appear with the first palm change. It takes dedicated repeated practice of walking the circle over and over again. Always repeating the same circular path.Only a true Baguazhang practitioner will understand this.
