can i just ask about the thumb position i do wing chun and i've had it drummed into me to keep my thumb in a tooked in position at all times to prevent it being broken is there a reason for the thumb being stuck out waiting to be grabbed or punched???
not 1 finger nor joint is just left there dead & waiting to be grabbed. Each & every joint in internal art is relax & has internal strength flowing into it. Bagua focuses on 8 different changes- meaning what seems like a single palm all of a sudden changes to another kind of palm energy. Its this whole body synergy that gives internal arts its incredible versatility,flexibility&strength
Hi FillyH, I come from a southern Gong fu background, and so I still carry over the "tucking the thumb" habit, the shuto knife hand position. Honestly I can't tell you why it isn't used in Cheng & some other styles of Bagua. But the continuously changing aspect of bagua would make it extremely difficult to catch that lingering thumb to be broken. Yin style Bagua (from Luohan quan) used the tucked thumb in their Ox-Tongue palm position.
Chuan doesn't just mean fist; it's more comparable to the term boxing, which is why prior to the twentieth century, most kung fu, karate, muay thai, etc. practicioners were mostly referred to as boxers.

Ninjutsu's good but with that attitude you won't get far. If it's nothing for you it's fine but Bagua does not suck.

What an excellent description of the Liang style eight hand positions. You obviously care about your subject and the people listening to it.
