JerryLove Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 PaKua is one of the three Neijia (internal arts) of China, and is therefore "kung-fu". https://www.clearsilat.com
Drunken Monkey Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 and not entirely unrelated, it is also what the octagonal symbol/device is called. incidentally, 'pa-kua' is also the cantonese for 'nosy'. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Drunken Monkey Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 don't you know? post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
JerryLove Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 Isn't also known as Bagua, Baat Gwa, or Baguazhang?Yes, though the only one of those that isn't simply a different anglicization of the Chinese (the great thing about standards is how many there are) is "Bauguazhang", which simply adds "zang" (also "chuan") which means (IIRC) "boxing". https://www.clearsilat.com

Thanks for the post-it seems that you are informed.
Drunken Monkey Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 i always thought 'zhang' was used for 'palm'. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
47MartialMan Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 I have heard that it could be used for "puffy" or "swollen". What about zhan? Or Zhai? Or Zheng?
Drunken Monkey Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 no. the zhang as in baguazhang is NOT puffy or swollen. why do you ask such stupid questions? i have no idea what you are on about the 'sounds' you are shoeing here can be any number of words. you'd have to show me the chinese characters or else it is meaningless. which is why i mentioned 'palm'. in chinese, it is almost always 'eight trigram palm', not 'fist'. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
