any ideas on the best book on pa kua?

Anything by Dr. John Painter, Jerry Allen Johson & Joseph Crandall, Yang Wing Ming or Adam Hsu.
Re: Jerry & Joseph's book Pakua Chang fighting systems & weapons is out of print...awesome book on pakua in general...you can still find a copy on line. If your looking for books to show how to really use Baqua, I highly recomend Dr. Painters Combat Baguazhang Nine Dragon System...vol. 1&2.....it's straight to the point, no BS.......his methods are proven on the street.........any questions PM me with your contact info.

I remember the old days before all the hype. When I started I wanted to have the skills of the old Shao lin I used to try to walk on TP / rice paper with out tearing it for hours and dreamed of wearing the Tiger and Dragon on my fore arms. What happened to the dreams of old ???? KC

Try looking at it in abstract form.Seven Hands of the Preying Mantis/ Tang Lang Chi Sou- Stationary Training/ Ting Pu Lian Si

#1 Smack Hand ( Yung Sou) This is where we are smacking with the back hand towards the head( Biatch Slap ). They are crossing (R) hands

#2 Penetrating Hand (Cha Sou), This is where we trap the (R) arm with the (L) hand and finger thrust towards the eyes . They are doing a ( R) Mantis hook then (L) hand blocks (R) then (R) palm strike to the chin ( if you read the captions it says that it is normally done with a finger thrust)....... then (L) raising forearm block( Same). (L) Hand cuts under and Grabs (L) arm ( Same)......

It isnt exactly the same but it is similar..............

Then ours goes #3 Smacking Fist ( Kwan Chien ) Their's is #3 Smacking Fist............
