This book presents the tradition of baguazhang as it is encapsulated in the thirty-six verses and the forty-eight methods verses, which were written to preserve the oral teachings of baguazhang's originator, Dong Haichuan. The verses contain advice on the body structure and connections, power, methods, and tactics of baguazhang - invaluable for practitioners of all lineages. This is the first time that the verses are presented in a stand-alone book with an in-depth discussion, with historical and social background, and including versions from different lineage sources. Andrea Falk, the translator and author, brings to the book forty-five years study and experience in the Chinese martial arts as well as Chinese classics, history, language, linguistics, literature, philosophy, religion, and sociology. She lived for years in China for her training, and continues to visit often.
The app's compatibility with CarPlay has made my road trips so much more enjoyable. The detailed listening stats are fantastic. Helps me keep track of my progress. ListenBook is the ultimate audiobook player. The app supports all formats, and the import process is seamless. I love the playback history feature—it’s so easy to revisit my favorite parts. Highly recommend this app! A decent listen overall. The narration was clear, though some character voices sounded similar. The story was interesting but had moments where it dragged slightly. Still, it was a good way to pass the time. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
