“Luo De Xiu on Hou Tien (post heaven AKA straight line bagua zhang) training and application

“Hou Tien trains techniques, power and application…. By following the pattern of human behavior it builds the fighting skill and teaches fighting theory… These sixty-four palm methods (strategies) are single exercise skills. They are specifically used to explain Bagua fighting methods. Each palm has its own functional method (jins) .” Some people do not think bagua zhang done on a straight line is bagua. The straight line forms train very small pieces of the Xian Tien (pre heaven AKA Circular Set) for application purposes.
