The metric system is the only international measurement system for any technical quotations. Imperial/American will soon be abandoned, so even if you convert it to "fractions of inches", you will only get things complicated

Thank you Mark, hope your kwoon will look outstanding next year. post a video please after you complete it. Kind regards

The six Major Characteristic Powers are: Sinking (Xia Chen 下沉 or Chen Zhui 沉墜) Thrusting (Chong 沖) Extending (Cheng 撑) Entangling (Chan 纏) Cross (Shi Zi 十字) Inch (Cun 寸). Baji quan Tactics and strategy Baji quan opens the opponent's arms forcibly (qiang kai men 強開門) and mount attacks at high, mid, and low levels of the body (san pan lian ji 三盤連擊). It is most useful in close combat, as it focuses on elbow, knee, shoulder and hip strikes. When blocking an attack or nearing an opponent, baji quan techniques emphasize striking major points of vulnerability, namely the thorax (trunk of the body), legs and neck. holding a typical Baji Quan posture. The sideways-protruding elbow is often used for striking in this art. The "six big ways of opening" (liu da kai 六大開) are: Ding 頂: using the fist, elbow or shoulder to push forward and upward. Bao 抱: putting arms together as if hugging someone. It is usually followed by Pi 劈 (splitting). Ti 提: elevating the knee to hit the thigh of the opponent, or elevating the foot to hit the shin of the opponent, etc. Dan 單: using a single move. Kua 胯: using the hip. Chan 纏: entanglement with rotation around the wrist, elbow and shoulder. Bajiquan Style Features Bajiquan belongs to the short boxing method, and its movements generally pursue the style of vigorous, simple and fast. In terms of martial arts techniques, it is important to take every inch and strike hard. It really has the general characteristics of suffering, helping, squeezing, leaning, collapsing, and shaking. Bajiquan exerts force on the heels, walks on the waist, and penetrates the fingertips. Therefore, it is extremely explosive and full of martial arts characteristics. Therefore, Bajiquan is known in the traditional Chinese martial arts circle as "Wen has Taiji to secure the world, and martial arts has Baji to determine the universe". Bajiquan has a long history and has been painstakingly studied by generations of passers-by. With its unique style and training methods, it is unique and self-contained. Bajiquan takes the head and feet as the universe, the shoulders, knees, elbows and hips as the square, the arms facing each other front and back, and the dantian holding the yuan in the center means creating a door. Use the mind to guide the energy, and use the energy to destroy the force. The three sets of six points are combined with the inside and outside, and the momentum is majestic. The power of all directions is the eye, and the whole body is the hand. The movement changes, the change changes, and the change leads to the spirit. It is infinitely wonderful. Bajiquan attaches great importance to the practice of offensive and defensive techniques. In terms of usage, it pays attention to "struggling, shouldering, squeezing, and leaning". Baji disciples often use their bodies to lean against walls, trees, and piles when practicing "sticking to the mountain and relying on piles". It is conceivable how powerful it is. The key to "Tie Shan Kao" is to get in, approach the opponent with a distance of "hitting is like a kiss", and hit the opponent with the shoulder. It seems to use the shoulders as the point of force, but in fact it combines the twisting force of the waist and hips, and leans against the opponent with all the strength of the whole body, causing great harm to people and knocking people down. If I have to describe Bajiquan in three words, it would be fast, direct, and fatal. In the superficial sense, many people seem to associate the practice of Bajiquan forms and performances with the popular zhenjiao (震脚； zhènjiǎo, stomping/stamping foot on the floor) technique. While this is a distinguishing attribute of Bajiquan forms and training, this is not the only feature of the style, nor is it the main feature of Bajiquan. To be more accurate, I would say that, what distinguishes Bajiquan from other styles of Chinese martial arts, is the clear emphasis of “abrupt” or explosive force and power generation in the majority of its movements, as opposed to the fluid movements and “softness” that are often associated with the popular image of Chinese martial arts. In my experience, many of these movements in forms are often trained with, or in transitions into mabu (马步； mǎbù, horse stance). The training of Bajiquan, specifically in the sense of Taolu, is vast and varies in curriculum from style to style. Solo, bare hand forms can be divided into dajia (大架； dàjià, literally “big/large frame”) and xiaojia (小架； xiǎojià, literally “small frame”). Dajia forms, one of which is the one Bajiquan form I have learned, contains comparatively bigger and simpler techniques and movements, and is where modern Wushu Bajiquan takes its movements from, whereas xiaojia forms feature comparatively smaller, more intricate techniques and movements. Traditional Bajiquan also has duilian (对练； duìliàn， choreographed fight sets), which emphasize the martial applications and fighting ideas of Bajiquan, such as kao (靠； kào, bumping with various parts of the body). There is also the training of Jingangbashi (金刚八式；Jīngāngbāshì, Buddha’s Warrior Attendant Eight Methods), which is not as well-known, but is still a part of traditional Bajiquan training, and is itself from Shaolin. In terms of specific techniques, all real Chinese martial arts styles train four specific elements of fighting: kicking (踢； tī)， punching (打； dǎ)， takedowns (摔； shuāi)， and grappling (拿； ná). Kicks in Bajiquan forms are specifically low and limited under the waist level, and do not go above the waist. Bajiquan is also known for its elbow techniques; perhaps the most well-known technique or posture of Bajiquan is mabudingzhou (马步顶肘； mǎbùdǐngzhǒu, horse stance horizontal elbow strike). However, there are also many fist techniques in Bajiquan forms, ranging from straight punches, to swinging fist strikes like “whipping” or hammer fist strikes. Additionally, Bajiquan also contains many openhanded techniques, such as palm strikes and pushes. As with all other styles of Chinese martial arts, throws and takedowns also exist, which are hidden in the stances, and movements into stances within forms. Grappling, or qinna (擒拿； qínná， grappling) techniques in Bajiquan are mainly focused in locking the wrists, hands and/or arms. As far as fighting goes, Bajiquan is observed to be a style focused on infighting and close range, since Bajiquan techniques are focused in this range.
