1. No.... Baji is belong Dao Gar (道家). Horse Step Elbow (馬式頂肘) is a Tai-Chi picture.
2. Wudang Mountain and Wutan school of Liu Yunqiao used different characters and have a different meaning. In general the Baji of Wudang monks is modern wushu, and Baji isn't Changquan. Bajiquan is an internal style, but there is no security that has connection with Taoism and Wudang mountains. regards
3. i should point out that "spear god" Li Shu Wen of "I don't know what it means to hit a man twice" fame who was arguably the greatest master of Baji quan in history was not Muslim nor was his student Liu Yun Qiao who was instructor to the Taiwanese special forces. it is also worth mentioning that Liu Yun Qiao called his school the Wutang center for martial arts so he clearly felt some connection between Baji quan and Wudang Wudang
4. Best Baji form demo I've ever seen.
5. wrong its chinese bruce lee yip man and jackie chan were famous practioners of this concept
6. Remember I was here.Thai 7:05PM 4/8/2011
7. It originally was a Taoist style, it was adopted by Chinese muslims in modern times
8. True, wudang is excellent for internal but when it comes to baji i would rather learn from muslims.
9. martial arts should be for every one. just because there is a high rate of chinese muslims does not make the art muslim.
10. That's true, but Wudang is a melting pot for a lot of internal arts. You have to remember that before there was Baji and Pigua, there were Chinese techniques and knowledge that goes back thousands of years. Note they never said Baji was invented in Wudang and Xingyi and Bagua were actually founded and existed outside Wudang.
11. but baji quan is a muslim style

Wudang Kung fu. Baji Quan is a powerful infighting style that relies on the sudden use of explosive force, or Fa Jin, to shatter the opponen's defense, destroy his root and achieve a quick and decisive victory. the style is simple to learn but requires diligent study to master the underlying skills. Elbow and shoulder techniques are outstanding and are masterfully combined with stamping footwork and waist to deliver devastating strikes. Bai Ji Quan, means "Eight Extremes" and refers to the usage of power that is administered through eight major body parts: the head, the shoulders, the elbows, the hands, the buttocks, the waist, the knees and the feet. It is also known as the "Bodyguard Style," since many of its exponents served to protect the Chinese Emperors and other members of the Imperial Family. http://www.wudangdao.com
