    Winter 2004

    Pi Gua Zhang (literally meaning splitting hanging palm) is one of the most unique
    martial arts of Hebei province, relatively unknown to the west.

    The historical sources of Pi Gua Zhang are quite obscure, but can be generally traced
    to the Hebei province, somewhere in the 18th century. It is believed that it started as a
    way of fighting while wearing armor.

    Its next important appearance in recorded history is in 1928, When the National
    Wushu Institute was founded in Nanjing, and Pi Gua Zhang specialist Ma Ying Tu
    was put in charge of the marital arts department of the Institute. He invited the famous
    Pi Gua Zhang and Tong Bi master Guo Chang Sheng from Hebei to lecture. The two
    of them delved into the style adjusting the moves but keeping the essentials and
    adding speed and explosive power as well as the skills from the 24 forms Tong Bi
    Quan, and thus creating the more common version of Pi Gua today.

    Our line of Pi Gua comes down directly from Guo Chang Sheng, and not from the
    revised version. As being also an expert of the Tong Bi 24 forms, influences of this
    style can still be found in our Pi Gua.
