Baguazhang: Fighting Secrets of the Eight Trigram Palms is another very good book by Erle Montaigue, on Internal Martial Arts and subjects relating to Dim-Mak. In this book, you are shown both the classic circular Baguazhang form and the linear form, as well as fighting secrets and attacks to the Dim-Mak points.
Ba Gua: Hidden Knowledge in the Taoist Internal Martial Art This Ba Gua Zhang book is full of excellent information, and focuses on aspects of the art of Ba Gua Zhang that include: The philosophy of Ba Gua Zhang; internal power (Qi); mysteries and symbolisms; applications of Ba Gua Zhang. This is another good book to have.
The Power of Internal Martial Arts: Combat Secrets of Ba Gua, Tai Chi, and Hsing-I is a very good book filled with knowledge and insight concerning the three better known Internal Martial Arts of China (Ba Gua Zhang, Tai Chi Ch'uan, and Hsing-I Ch'uan). Characteristics, energy, power, speed and fighting aspects of each are examined and explained in a way that makes this book a very good theory and reference source.
Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body (The Tao of Energy Enhancement) covers theory and practice of Chi Gung, and includes instruction for the practice of Chi Gung. Learn how to relieve stress and remove energy blockages in your body and increase the flow of energy and vitality of your body. I think this is great for learning Chi Gung, how to loosen up and strengthen your body internally.
Baguazhang (Emei Baguazhang: Theory and Applications) is an excellent introduction to the art of Baguazhang. This book covers the origin, history, development and fundamentals of the art, then focuses on one of the many different styles of Baguazhang - Emei. Presented in this book are Baguazhang qigong (chi kung) exercises, training and conditioning concepts, and the fundamental movements, techniques and applications associated with this style of this Chinese internal martial art. This book has plenty of photos that include prominent past and present figures in the history of the art, as well as photo demonstrations of exercises, techniques and applications. My teacher, Jiang Hao-Quan, wrote one of the book's forewords, and is mentioned in the section containing the history of Baguazhang. This is another good book to add to your martial arts library.
Hsing Yi Chuan: Theory and Applications (Chinese Internal Martial Art) is a very good introduction to the art. This book covers the origin, history and development of the art. The foundation of the art is explored in detail, and Hsing-Yi Chi Kung exercises, Hsing-Yi Chuan movement, applications and techniques are clearly presented with excellent photo demonstrations.
Encyclopedia of Dim-Mak: The Main Meridians is an outstanding educational and reference source for anyone seriously interested in the martial art of Dim-Mak. In this first of two volumes, all of the main dim-mak / acupuncture points and energy flow meridians are covered. Both the healing and destructive aspects of point striking and manipulation are explained along with point locations. There are a lot of misconceptions about Dim-Mak, and there is a lot of inaccurate information regarding Dim-Mak. The truth is, Dim-Mak is much more than striking nerve and pressure points. Dim-Mak involves knowing dim-mak / acupuncture points, energy flow meridians, and striking the dim-mak / acupuncture points in the body to disrupt or shut-down chi or energy flow in the body, and injure or destroy internal organs. Get complete, accurate, no non-sense information about Dim-Mak. Get the Encyclopedia of Dim-Mak.
Encyclopedia of Dim-Mak: The Extra Meridians, Points, and More is the second of two volumes. This one takes up where the other left off by covering the extra meridians, points, set-up points, and multiple strike points. This is a must have, and completes the two volume set.
Dim-Mak: Death Point Striking is an excellent introduction into a secret martial art that nearly became extinct. It briefly covers the origin and history, and the fact that what we know as Tai Chi Ch'uan (known then only as dim-mak or hao ch'uan (loose boxing)) was originally created by Chang San-feng as a mask to hide the true nature of his art which was Death Point Striking or Dim-Mak. The book also goes into (acupuncture) point location, energy meridians and flow, time elements, strikes, attacks, applications, point relations, set-up points, and much more. As a follow-up, consider these three additional books - Advanced Dim-Mak: The Finer Points of Death-Point Striking; Dim-Mak's 12 Most Deadly Katas; Ultimate Dim-Mak: How to Fight a Grappler and Win.
Death Touch: The Science Behind The Legend Of Dim-Mak is an excellent companion to the two volume Encyclopedia of Dim-Mak. An explanation of how and why Dim-Mak works and the very real dangers of the art, is made from the insight of a long practicing martial artist and Dim-Mak practitioner who happens to be an osteopathic physician. This book was written to help explain in scientific and medical, terms the art of Dim-Mak, and help remove the cloud of mystery surrounding it.
The Fundamentals of Pa Kua Chang: The Methods of Lu Shui-Tien as Taught by Park Bok Nam volumes one and two (a two volume set). In these two volumes, Park Bok Nam introduces you to the Pa Kua Chang (Ba Gua Zhang) taught to him by his teacher Lu Shui-Tien. Just as the title indicates, Park presents you with the fundamentals as he was taught and as is taught by him. He covers basic footwork, which is very important because the foundation of this art starts with footwork (circle walking). In addition to the stepping training, he presents stance work, body position training, striking methods and techniques, related Chi Kung exercises, and many more components that make up the foundation of learning the high level art martial of Pa Kua Chang.
Liang Zhen Pu Eight Diagram Palm is an outstanding treasure of a book on the theory, essence and benefits of learning, practicing and utilizing this fighting system known as Eight Diagram Palm (Ba Gua Zhang). Li Zi Ming, a third generation grandmaster, was one of this century's last great Ba Gua Zhang masters. In this book, he shares with us, knowledge and information that had been handed down to him from his teacher Liang Zhen Pu, who had received the enlightened knowledge and information directly from his teacher, Dong Hai Ch'uan. Dong Hai Ch'uan is credited as the originator of the martial art of Ba Gua Zhang. This is a treasure that every student and practitioner of Ba Gua Zhang or internal martial arts, must have in their martial arts library.
The Complete Iron Palm is the first of two books on the subject, written by Brian Gray, who is considered one of the world's foremost authorities on iron palm philosophy, training and technique. Presented in this book is the conditioning method considered to be superior to the others, because it strengthens muscles, skin, and bones, but leaves your hands unbruised, unscarred and with no deformities. In addition, training exercises, striking and breaking techniques and methods, and learning to hit without hurting yourself are discussed.
The Advanced Iron Palm is the second of two books on the subject, written by Brian Gray, who is considered one of the world's foremost authorities on iron palm philosophy, training and technique. Presented in this book are recipes for making Dit Da Jow or Tieh Da Jiu, techniques on how to increase your power, anatomical descriptions of fatal striking, and several self-defense applications involving the palm.
