Bajiquan and Paquiquan

[Borisyth]

Hey, I don't even know if I spelled these right but that should only underline my need to know more about them.

 

I understand that they're opposite styles that were meant to compliment each other but as to where they originated or if they are even studied still is a mystery to me.

 

Any info will be appreciated.

 

Nice little forum you all have here.

Nice job bustr! You will notice that Shrfu Yang, Grandmaster Liu, Shrfu Hsu, and the other teachers are in some way related. Mostly through studying with GM Liu.

Bajimen, is a really good site.

 

The basic difference between the 2 styles is Baji is a closed fist style and Paqui is a open palm style. Follows exactly the same as Hsing I and Ba Gua, the 2 "internal" Chinese styles.

Without getting into a huge debate over the defining internal and external, Baji and Pigua are sort of in the middle. They contain both elements of internal and external in their overall structure and approach at training.

I know Joe.

 

Like Wing Chun and Choy Li Fut, they sit in the middle of internal and external. However, some Kwoons of Baji, drop a lot of the Qi Kung training and Chi aspect. Its trying to claw back some respect for the Kung Fu Kwoons and masters that have really let themselves go.
