盧水田八卦掌
The Ba Gua Zhang (Pa Kua
Chang)
of Lu Shui-Tian
The Chinese Internal Method
for
Superior Health and Devastating Self-Defense
= Pa Kua Chang Kung Fu =
(a.k.a. PaKua, Pa Qua, PaQua, Ba Gua, BaGua, Ba
Gwa, or BaGwa)
is one of the foremost internal systems in the Chinese
martial arts.

= OUR
MOTTO =
.
"Wisdom,
Benevolence, Sincerity, and Bravery"
.
These four words comprise the motto of
Master Bok-Nam Park's Ba Gua Kung Fu School
and the Qiang Shan Ba Gua
Zhang Association.
They represent four
important ideals that Lu
Shui-Tian believed all Ba Gua
Zhang (Pa Kua Chang)
practitioners must cultivate and embrace. |
.
- Wisdom -
because without wisdom, a student will not
be able to grasp the depth of Pa Kua Chang
and will not be able to develop his or her
understanding to a high level. Wisdom
is required to make progress; the student
must "think deeply" and research thoroughly.
|
.
- Benevolence
- because without benevolence, a student's
pride, ego, or arrogance takes
control. The Pa Kua Chang practitioner
must remain humble, show respect to
everyone, and promote goodwill towards
others. And, Pa Kua Chang must never
be utilized in an improper or unjust
manner. Benevolence is required and
grows with the cultivation of wisdom.
|
.
- Sincerity
- because without sincerity and a serious
commitment to training, a student will not
make sound progress and will not be able to
develop his or her skill to a high
level. The student must dedicate
himself or herself to the art, and must
honor the heritage of the Pa Kua Chang of Lu
Shui-Tian and Master Park. Lu
Shui-Tian stated that "the instructor does
not teach the student; the instructor merely
presents knowledge and ideas -- the
students, in truth, teach and train
themselves." Sincerity is required and
grows with the cultivation of wisdom and
benevolence.
|
.
- Bravery -
because without bravery, a student will lose
his/her skill in a
confrontation. A student
needs to remain calm and clear whether
facing an opponent in a sparring session or
in a serious fight, and must learn to
conquer and control his or her own
fear. To understand Pa Kua Chang
completely, the student must study and
research the fighting side of Pa Kua, as
well as the health side. Through the
cultivation of wisdom, benevolence, and
sincerity, a student's bravery comes from
the heart and is not derived out of ego or
arrogance. The Pa Kua Chang fighter
must do what is just and what is required
when a confrontation is necessary. And
when a confrontation is necessary, the
response must be immediate and without
hesitation.
|
.
Knowledge and skill come at a price and
with an obligation. The obligation is responsibility
-- the responsibility to use one's knowledge
with wisdom and benevolence, to execute one's
skill with justice and bravery, to uphold one's
heritage with honor and sincerity, and to
present one's achievements with accuracy and
humility. This is what we believe and this
is what we promote. |
