The Whirling Circles of Ba Gua Zhang can be considered a complete text on this internal art. In addition to the well described forms and weapons the authors have included examples of the fighting applications. Mixed throughout the text is the most interesting facts and anecdotes I have ever seen in print. This book is a must for the library of any serious student of Ba Gua Zhang.

The esoteric art of Ba Gua Zhang has been done a great service in Frank and Tina's enjoyable and engaging presentation. This book has it all: history, principles, foundations, how to practice, how to teach and form explanations. I have enjoyed practicing Ba Gua for over twenty years and find this book to be one of the best on the market. If you're a beginner to the art start here. If you're an advanced practitioner this is a must for your study. Frank's great storytelling is captivating and his knowledge is broad and deep. This is a classic!
