dingyuan Posted October 30, 2004 Author Posted October 30, 2004 To make your research easier for you, Baji Quan is called Hakkyoku-Ken in Japanese.
dingyuan Posted October 30, 2004 Author Posted October 30, 2004 If you are a video game player then your research will be a lot easier. Baji Quan at least to myself was made famous by the Sega fighting game called Vitura Fighters. The main character of Vitura Fighter Akira Yuki uses Baji Quan. I decided to learn Baji Quan because of the strong moves of Akira when I first played this game many years ago, here's some information I can give you. "The chinese word for Hakkyoku-ken is BaJiQuan, or Eight-Extremity Fist. It is a Northern chinese style of martial art that stresses knocking down the opponent in a single blow. The practioner has a philosophy of "never afraid of a thousand techniques, but do afraid of one." The art stresses "Bear Step, Tiger Form" style of attacking; break the opponent's defense like a bear, then give a short quick blow like a tiger. It uses eight parts of the body to attack; hands, elbows, shoulders, knees, feet, head, hips, and buttocks. Releasing of internal strength is also common practice in Hakkyoku-ken; practitioners will stomp their feet in order to add power to their strikes."
