Baji question for ASIA

[SakeOwnz]

Hey asia, I'm looking into martial arts schools in my and i've noticed there is a bajiquan(spelling?) school within reasonable distance from me. As someone recovering from a kungfu mcdojo would you reccomend Baji? I'm interested in learning how to grapple as well as fix my standup game. I have a few years worth of mcdojo training, about 4 months of real kickboxing training, and no grappling experience whatsoever.

What exactly is involved with Baji? I realize I can do a search for style information on the net, and I will, but I'd like to hear from a practioner as well.

Also, were I to consider joining the school is there anything in particuler I should look for in deciding if its a quality school?

BAJI! mainly consists of generating and building fajing and releasing it in an explosive manner.

What to look for? Depends on teacher but I would look at their conditioning exercises to build fajing. How well the do Da Baji and Xiao Baji (there are several forms but these two contain the core of the system.)

What in the hell does that mean?

Puny San Soo guy!!!:p

[Gezere]

Sakeownz,

I live around you and Deluxe247 and I'm curious as to where this !Baji! school is.

[Jenfucius]

if you wish to truly learn fajing, you must first learn to squat like a monkey!!!

sakeownz- do they have a website? ask politely of their lineage.

I got a question for the Masta' Blasta' Asia...who the hell brought BAJI!!! to Japan? It's even supposed to be real popular there. Is there some big shot in the 30's or someting that brought it over? I've always wondered.
