I was out and overheard these guys talking about this martial art called pakua. they told me there school is in H.b. Does anyone know much about this style?

it's a large world.... where exactly is "H.b."?

Pakua is another way of pronouncing Ba Gua Zhuang. Yes... someone knows much about Ba Gua Zhuang.

Bob#2

"H.b." "N.p." where the heck are you goobers?

Hunington Beach?

Please see these websites to edjucate yourselves to the different aspects. www.pakua.org or www.pakua.us or www.pakua.com you can also reach my school at 714-377-8805

edjucate?

I noticed on your site you call it "Pa Kua Chuan"
(Chuan=fist) but isn't it supposed to be "Pa Kua Zhang" (Zhang=Palm)

Grand Master Bob#2

i did not know that chinese martial art wear
what looks like a karate or aikido uniform?
but what do i know?
at least i don't call myself master MD!!!

Right you are Bob#2. The old way of anglicizing it would have been Pa Kua Chang. Eight Triagrams (some say diagrams but not exactly accurate) Palm. Based on the triagrams of the I-Ching if I remember correctly.

Marc, I agree with you 100% on this one. No man calls himself master who is a master. That title is accorded by one's students and peers. Critique but don't criticize. Render an opinion but also accept opinions. Bravo!

SWEEEEEEEET !!!!!!!!!1
i knew that after 282 posts someone would finally agree with me.
but what about their uniforms,
is that a ba gua gi???

"Anglicizing"?

How very white of you, giving the British so much credit.

I did notice however the diploma was also in Spanish...?

Are you being ethnocentric or just dumb?

Maybe the word ROMANIZE is what you mean. Being the ancient Roman alphabet is the foundation of most (nearly all) of the modern European alphabets are derived- 23 characters w, u, & J were added later

ALAG,

Writing Chinese in English. Though my ancestry is Irish, English, French, and Native American I speak, read, and write English. English is not actually a Romance language though it does use many words with Latin roots and derives most of its alphabet from Latin. As for Spanish I don't speak it. I didn't intend to step on the toes of the Romans.

ALAG,

Wait a minute. I see what you're talking about now. Since the alphabet is derived from the latin and I'm not translating it would be Romanizing. I tend to think in English. Sorry, as I said I didn't mean to step on the toes of the Romans. Also, at my age senility may well be setting in.

Why are you so angry?

Did you guys check you the videos

Bawahahahahaha !!!

They are fighting training using the form!!!

Form is a tool which leads you to a self defence method, but don't literaly translate form as "the method"

In the weapons section this must be the only chinese Pa Kua I've come across that uses a japanese Shinai for weapons practice... or am I wrong... rebuttals not to include any of the same Pa Kua Chang organisation schools in Arizona, New York, Chicago.

Oh and check out in the weapons section "articulated double sticks"

Also check out the Kendo Photos whoops I mean 2 man Pa Kua Jian practice

http://www.pakua.org/weapons/Shinai.htm

Then theres allway the "Pa Kua" 2 man traditional Jian Practice

http://www.pakua.org/weapons/Saber.htm

Bawahahahahahahah !!!

and another

Bawahahahahahahaa !!!! for good measure

Nuff Said

What do you think? Of the armbar thingymajig...

Is that on? Dontch have to arch the back to but armbar on ? Or am I missing some coplex Pa Kua change here?

I see now why my pa-kua is not as advanced as it should be... I have failed to master the flying side-kick shown on the homepage of pakua.org; I already knew that I was lacking in snappy uniforms so that wasn't a surprise.

On the other hand, making fun of other people isn't always as straight-forward as it seems. Anyone who has been a real fight or two will recognize that you can't always tell about the quality of the "fight" in an opponent until it is too late.

Years ago, a friend of mine who had been a cop said from bitter experience that "even a mouse will bite hard, if you corner it".

i can't let this one go!
AFAG "how very white of you"????
what do you have agaist black!?or anyone else?
who cares what the romans did.romanize this ***.
what is your point?
i thought i was off topic!?
ps.is it a ba gua GI?????????

Hey Michael,

That reminds me of my uncle. Many years ago the theatres used to have ushers. He was an usher. He is a small and very timid man who is very quiet and polite. He was cleaning up the men's room while the movie was being shown. Two guys had seen him go in there and decided they were going to rob him. They advanced on him yelling threats and he kept backing away trying to avoid the violence. Finally they backed him into a corner where he couldn't escape. He went berserk and almost killed both of them. They went to the hospital and then to jail. Clearly they underestimated their opponent.

Charlie
