Description

With clear and easy to follow instructions and over 380 black and white photos and diagrams, this indispensible manual is ideal for both martial arts beginners and advanced practitioners. It fully illustrates the basic techniques. (2006) 173pp

The venerable Robert W. Smith, author of many books on Chinese martial arts, columnist and general all-around curious fellow, and one of his students, have compiled a series of books on various Chinese martial arts. Hsing-I is considered a powerful, direct boxing style.

Pa-Kua is noted for its circular walking and deflection methods. Both are covered similarly; there is a brief introduction to the history and techniques of the respective styles, then a series of pictures depicting a form. Although they cannot be used as a textbook for a novice to learn from, it would augment a student of these arts, or someone curious about the look and feel of these two very respected styles.

Photographs are clean and crisp, and the explanations of the movements are clear and concise. All you would need besides the book is a capable teacher to initiate you into the real meaning and practice of Hsing-I and Pa-Kua.
