Title
Walking the I Ching: The Linear Ba Gua of Gao Yi Sheng,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Ba gua is one of the internal styles of the Chinese martial arts, a 'circular' walking technique that helps train the mind and body to recognize and accept change. Characterized by its spinning movements and extremely evasive footwork, ba gua is often used as a means to protect others, much like a good mother holding her childs hand as they cross a busy street. In this combination of philosophical treatise, health manual, and selfdefense text, Allen Pittman details the history, philosophy, and techniques of straightline ba gua zhang, which means eight trigram palm in reference to the seminal trigrams of the I Ching. The book contains eight parts corresponding to the eight sections of the I Ching, each representing a different elemental manifestation and martial arts principle. Descriptions of the symbology, cultural, anatomical, and tactical details of each set are taught as well as detailed instructions on the form practice. Illustrated throughout with stepbystep drawings and photographs, the book shows how ba gua zhang, driven by I Ching wisdom, helps students cultivate a sense of centeredness and spontaneity and use this martial art in every aspect of their lives.
