To the Daoists, understanding this process was vital to understanding existence. The combination of Gua and spiralling Qi generate the great flux upon which life is dependant. Once life is manifest, Qi then divides up into eight great movements known as the ‘Gua’. As life grows and processes unfold, the rotating force of Qi serves as the animating force. He is currently based in Paris, France.The ancient Daoists understood that the universe operated in circle’s and spirals. About the Author: Edward Hines started his practice of Baguazhang in 1991 in Taiwan Republic of China. This book will also help you to see the practical sense hidden in other Chinese books and methods. This book is written to save you time and headaches so that you can progress in your practise. It uses classical Chinese verses about Bagua as its core, and is illustrated to show footwork patterns and postural principles. This book gives simple, clear instructions which are pared down to the essentials. It focuses on the key Baguazhang exercise of circle walking, which is used to develop body power, healh, martial mobility and meditative clarity. This compact book takes the opposite approach. As a result there are all kinds of authors who capitalise on the misunderstood nature of the art by adding layers of mystery and confusion. Baguazhang is both hypnotically beautiful and also the least well understood internal martial art due to its unusual training methods.
