Pa Kua boxing is, without doubt, the
king of Internal fighting and i said to enhance the natural grace of
the human body. It is elegant, dignified, and provides the key needed
to develop perfect balance both in practice and self-defense. By
"walking the circle," the Pa Kua practitioner strengthens his neck,
arms, wrists, and ankles, increases the flexibility of his waist, and
helps the Chi to flow freely along the body's channels.

Fu Chen Sung's Pa Kua Chang
|
Fu Chen
Sung was primarily noted as a Pa Kua master and is famous for his
creation of the Dragon Form Pa Kua Chang art. He was also skilled in
the art of Chen Taijiquan whom he learnt from Chen Ting Xi. Inspired by
the principles of Taijiquan, he incorporated the key elements of Pa Kua
Chang into several new Taijiquan forms he created. Fu created unique
Taijiquan forms like Fu Style Taijiquan, Taiji Lightning Palm and Taiji
Lightning Fist. He was one of the Canton Five Tigers and became head
instructor of the Central Guo Shu Institute in 1928.
Fu Chen Sung was chiefly known as a Bagua man, but he also forged many
other internal systems. The Fu style Tai Chi Chuan was one of his
acclaimed creations. But it was his Bagua Dragon Palm style along with
his ferociously fleeting and practical "pivotal power" which sealed his
fame forever.
Fu Chen Sung had studied Pa Kua under Dong Haichuan's senior students
Cheng Ting Hua and Ma Gui and along the years had exchanged his great
knowledge with many other masters such as Sun Lu Tang and Yang Chan Po
(Yang Cheng-Fu). It is said that Fu Chen Sung was the only one able to
dissolve Yang Chan Po's Pushing hands and the two became the best of
friends.
Fu Chen Sung was known in the history books as a giant both for his
martial genius, and for promoting the internal martial arts throughout
China.
