It is a fascinating meditation on the art of Ba Gua Zhang and its many applications to life and living. The Art of Ba Gua Zhang reveals how practicing Ba Gua Zhang can create change in all facets of one?s life, physical mental and spiritual. Philosophy, life cultivation and self-defense are seamlessly combined into Ba Gua Zhang?s theories and training methods, so that both the inside and outside of a person are cultivated simultaneously.

At its core, Ba Gua Zhang is an embodied expression of the laws of change and transformation that govern the world in which we live. In The Art of Ba Gua Zhang, Bisio explains how practicing Ba Gua Zhang not only promotes health and fitness, but also allows us to deeply and directly experience and appreciate the natural forces that act upon us from moment to moment and form our experience of the world around us. The Art of Ba Gua Zhang gives the reader a deep understanding and appreciation for Ba Gua Zhang?s core practice: Circle Walking Nei Gong. Walking the circle is the foundation of Ba Gua as a martial art, health science and method of transforming life and consciousness. Walking and turning, while cultivating the mind and the breath, has many profound effects on the human body, mind and nervous system. With every step, walking the circle, recharges our internal energy matrix and activates a process of internal transformation that engenders a full engagement with life and living.Tom Bisio is known internationally as a martial artist and practitioner of Chinese medicine.
