Ba Ji stresses close fighting, the closer the better. Ba Ji uses inch power a lot. even thou you may have big movements of the body, hands and feet and yet power generating is only at the very end and for a split/fraction of a second. therefore, when you land your feet, your move is over, too. and not landing feet first and then start the move.

[northpine]

there are 2 stepping methods. 1, bing bu/close steps 并步, it is coupled with stomping or zhen jiao 震脚 or duo zi jiao 跺子脚. 2, grinding step or nian zhen 碾震 when we forward one foot and land it. there is a complete outburst of power bao fa li 爆发力, and sinking downward 下沉劲, watch the feet, hand moves and the whole body closely. thanks

@Kormiku bullshit, so if my 2 year old is writing down what he thinks big bird is really saying on sesame street- then i shoud save it for anyonefollowing bigbird? what a joke,too funny

[Sravak123]

Ifully agree w Kormiku. I think northpine is

GREAT allowing us this service!!!

[Kormiku]

He is making these videos for the study of baji, not as demonstrations of his skill. Whether or not he is good at performing the movements, he is cataloging everything for the rest of us who have no access to information such as movement names and intricate theory behind the movements. Sometimes a master who is really good at performing baji cant explain how it works, but Northpine does a wonderful job of explaining it clearly.

You should of done it faster, after the demonstration.

How are these "Ba Gua movements with the Ba Ji power generation methods"?

There is no Baji power in your demonstration.

Even if it was done fluently, your actual movements and 身法 are totally wrong/absent.

This is NOT Baji.

but good intentions. keep practicing :)

Is he trying to memorize it?
