"Bagua Swimming Body Palms "is the second book written by Wang
Shujin, one of the world's foremost exponents of Chinese internal
martial arts and a renowned expert of Bagua Zhang. This volume
continues the process of bringing Master Wang's important art to
Western readers. More intricate than the Linked Palms form,
Swimming Body Palms helps practitioners achieve fluent body
mechanics and the ability to connect and flow from one movement to
the next with power. Master Wang, who taught Swimming Palms to only
a few advanced students, described it as "swim-walking," or
swimming around the body.
"
Bagua Swimming Body Palms "offers a thorough grounding in the
basics of Bagua principles and practice, and illuminates the
connection between the cultural meanings of the "I Ching" and the
physical movements of Bagua Zhang. The photographs from the Chinese
book are reprinted, along with hundreds of new photographs of
translator Kent Howard demonstrating the exercises in greater
detail. Sifu Howard provides extensive commentary on Master Wang's
writings, and Daoist master Huang Jinsheng contributes a thoughtful
essay on Master Wang's spiritual practice with the esoteric Daoist
sect Yi Guan Dao. The book's engaging style, fidelity to the
Chinese text, and comprehensiveness make it a welcome addition to
any martial arts library.
