Bajiquan is a traditional martial art. Its full name is "Kaimen Bajiquan", meaning "Open-door Bajiquan". It was created 300 years ago in the town of Mengcun, the now Mengcun Hui Autonomous County, Hebei Province. It has been passed down to the 14th generation. Its practitioners can be found throughout China. It has been spread to such countries and regions as Japan, ROK, and Singapore, where hundreds of thousands of people are practicing it. In 2008, Bajiquan was inscribed into the second list of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage. It features simple moves, the combination of short-and-long range explosive power, its powerful elbow strikes, punches, hip checks, and strikes with the shoulder and repeated use of elbow methods, with the feet firmly planted on the ground. This episode "Bajiquan" will enable you to enjoy the unique charm of Bajiquan.
