### Curious About Baji Zhandao?

Baji Zhandao means “Battlefield Style” and combines several traditional Chinese martial arts:

  • Baji Quan
  • Yang Tai Chi Quan
  • Pigua Zhang
  • Tongbei Quan
  • Bagua Zhang

This system was developed by Grandmaster Chen Fu Sheng, a renowned martial artist and former Chinese Special Forces instructor, with over 50 years of real-world combat experience.
