Founded in Hebei Province (China) by a Chinese
Muslim from Mong Village.It is a very powerful, aggressive and effective
fighting art, but this side of the style has usually been kept secret or
taught to very few people.It is encouraged to learn techniques that aim to
defeat opponents with a single strike and develop strength in the lower
legs.Eight parts of the body are used to deliver attacks at close range-
head,shoulders,elbows,hands,buttocks,hips,knees and feet. |

There are no high kicks, just simple practical
low front kicks, low leg attacks and foot sweeps, knee strikes, and stomps
to the ankle, knee, or foot. There are several types of punches but the
hand techniques tend to be mainly palm attacks, open-hand chops, finger
strikes, grabs, blocks, and various locks and holds.One of the most
eminent masters of Ba Ji is the Muslim master Zhang Shao Fu. |
