Baji quan is lit. 8 extremes fist. It used to be called Bazi quan (rake fist) but that was a loooooooooooong time ago. Ronin.74, you still on the forum? We have the same teacher, though it seems you started around the time I stopped training with him maybe a little after (lost my job and just haven't been able to get down there since I have no car ). I mostly just learned his taiji quan for a few years, though I sampled the baji quan and mizong quan
This guys form looks pretty powerful, kinda reminds me of hsingi [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-dyADxXdfk"]Baji in Tianjin - YouTube[/ame] Baji fighting contest 1988. No headshots though.. flashes of some nice takedown skill . the sliding tackle one @ about 00.12 is way cool. I also love the the way he seems to go for a bit of a jog at the end after slam dunkin' the other guy on the ground [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ir0MWNtMv4&NR=1"]Baji contest in Cangzhou 1988 - YouTube[/ame]
