Bajiquan – Chinese Martial Arts Style

Bajiquan is a Chinese martial arts that is famous for its explosive power and elbow strikes. In Chinese, Baji Quan means “Eight Extremities Fist” or “Eight Extremes Fist”.

According to Clearwater Kung Fu, “Baji Quan is a powerful infighting style that relies on the sudden use of explosive force, or Fa Jin, to shatter the opponent’s defense, destroy his root and achieve a quick and decisive victory… Elbow and shoulder techniques are outstanding and are masterfully combined with stamping footwork and waist work to deliver devastating strikes”.
