Combat Baguazhang - Nine Dragon System -
Volume One: Forms and Principles
In Combat Baguazhang - Vol. One: Forms and Principles, Dr. John Painter explains the principles of Chinese "internal" kung fu in plain English, cutting through much of the mysticism surrounding these ancient martial arts. In this book you will learn the history of the various styles of Baguazhang; how to develop mind/body connections through sitting, standing, and moving practices; the structural principles of Nine Dragon Baguazhang that give the art its uncanny power; the different Palm energies of Nine Dragon Baguazhang; and the basics of Circle Walking training.
"Like his predecessor, the Chinese bodyguard who instructed him, everything John Painter does on the martial side of training, in traditional Chinese internal methods, or his law enforcement PKC® system is about real combat applicability. There is nothing for show, no fluff, just the minimum required to efficiently control, put down or take out a threat. We are indeed fortunate John Painter has devoted his valuable time to write this book, illuminating the principles of combat using his Nine Dragon Baguazhang. This is the real deal!"--W.E. Thiel, Federal Law Enforcement Officer.

Volume Two: Warrior Training and Applications
Nine Dragon boxers believe that excessive forms training inhibits a person's ability to react spontaneously and appropriately in a violent encounter. In Combat Baguazhang - Vol. Two: Warrior Training and Applications, John Painter draws on his 30-plus years of training law enforcement officers in tactical combat using the same Baguazhang principles shown in this book. There are no choreographed complex forms here. Just practical, sound martial principles based on the Chinese internal martial art of Nine Dragon Baguazhang enhanced by an understanding of modern kinetic sciences and training.
You will be shown basic tactics for developing internal power, speed, and strength along with a series of examles for using Baguazhang principles in single and multiple encounters. From these lessons and examples you can create your own personalized training routine and applications.
