The Hsing-i forms in this book are generally those of Ch'en P'an-ling as elaborated in his Chung-hua kuo-shu chiao-ts'ai ch'uan-chi [The Complete Instructional Guide to Chinese Martial Arts] (Taipei, 1978). The Pa-kua forms given in this book are essentially those of Wang Shu-chin as elaborated in his Pa-kua lien-huan chang [Pa-kua Linked Palm] (Taipei, 1978; privately published). Also used as sources were the two books considered to be the best ever written on the art: Sun Lu-tang's classic Pa-kua ch'uan hsueh [A Study of Pa-kua Boxing] (Peking, 1916) and Huang Po-nien's Lung-hsing pa-kua chang [Dragon-Style Pa-kua Palm] (Shanghai, 1936). These are the orthodox, traditional methods long practiced on the mainland and in Taiwan—the authentic forms from which most other versions derive. They are being published here so that students can learn the real forms as opposed to the Americanized offshoots. These forms are designed to refine your nature, reform your temperament, and return you to your original self.
