5 elements and 5 palm methods in Ba Gua Zhang
« Thread Started on Jul 20, 2005, 9:00pm »

1. Liao Zhang: metal, overcomes Xio Zhang, used against lateral attacks from fists and feet for mid or low level.

2. Tiao Zhang: water, overcomes Chuo Zhang, against straight punch and penetrating palm.

3. Xio Zhang: wood, overcomes Pian Xuan Zhang, against Bai fist, chopping palm, and throwing palm.

4. Chuo Zhang: fire, overcomes Liao Zhang,

5. Pian Xuan Zhang: earth, overcomes Tiao Zhang.

Liao is from below going upward near waist high to hit the groin.

Tiao is going upward from waist up to neutralizing high or mid straight attack to your front.

Xio is like peeling off the skin of an apple, it is lateral to the opponent's move and Jing.

Chuo is penetrating forward as if stabbing with a vertical palm.

Pian Xuan is to move the palm around horizontally as if a leave falling off a branch of a tree.

Liao (metal), Tiao (water), Xio (wood), Chuo (fire), Pian (earth).

The metal chops the wood. Liao against Xio.

The water puts out the fire. Tiao against Chuo.

The wood or tree grows from the earth. Xio against Pian Xuan.

The fire melts the metal. Chuo against Liao.

The earth buries the water. Pian Xuan against Tiao.

If the opponent Liao, you then Chuo.

If the opponent Chuo, you then Tiao.

If the opponent Tiao, you then Pian Xuan.

It the opponent Pian Xuan, you then Xio.

If the opponent Xio, you then Liao.

Back to the beginning.

Having fun yet.

In Ba Gua Zhang, there are many methods in 8.

The 8 basic palm, 8 palm change, 8 elbow method, 8 basic kicks etc.

The previous posts are just examples of 5 elements and how they neutralize one another.
