八極小架: Ba Ji Xiao Jia (Ba Ji Quan Series Books Book 1)

by Tony Yang, Mark Zhang (Editor), Andy Lianto (Photographer)

Ba Ji Quan is one of the most famous boxing styles in the treasure house of Chinese martial arts. Bajiquan is both internal and external, and its action is simple and concise. It is powerful and vigorous, with explosive strength. It is both strong and loose. It attacks imposingly, directly at the critical targets. A famous Chinese proverb "Civilians have Taiji to harmonize society, militaries have baji to stabilize heaven and earth." From this we can see Bajiquan's intrepidness. This book is an introduction to bajiquan by Grandmaster Tony Yang featuring dozens of color photographs. This bilingual book (Chinese-English) has chapters covering baji history, famous baji masters, an introduction to basics and foundational training, illustrated methods, baji applications and an in depth study of the Xiao Ba Ji form with both written descriptions and illustrative photographs.

About the author

Tony Yang is an author, speaker, and lay pastor. And it happened in that order.

Pastor Tony wrote and published Are You Sure You Want to Love God? (You Might Start Using the "O" Word) in 2013. The book opened opportunities to preach at churches, retreats, and conferences. One of those churches called him to be its pastor. He accepted that call in early 2015. Since then, he's been juggling his "day job" in higher education with his pastoral and writing ministry. He wrote and published his next book Real in 2017.

Pastor Tony's gift of storytelling--both through the written and spoken word--to share God's love led to Tony Yang Ministries. He combines his professional work experience, which includes two Emmy awards, with his passion for sharing the Gospel message to fulfill the mission of Tony Yang Ministries: "Telling God's Story through our stories."
