The Way through Baguazhang - 八卦掌道 - A podcast by Peter Hainzl

The journey to Bagua Shan is fraught with difficulty. In the first part of the journey it is difficult because those on it, do not even know they are on it. And this is because there is hardly nothing written on it. If there had been, most of the martial arts literature of the nineteenth century is buried in what nowadays would best be described as fairy-tongue. Most martial artists these days are men and young. And want to fight. They rarely have the time and patience to delve into the true mysteries of their respective martial art. These young men prefer to wait upon their masters for hand-me-down answers. A part of me wishes that I could say that I was the same, but, I never was. Set aside from guys of my age I always have lived a dualistic life yin and yang. And this is the sixth (6th) reason for Baguazhang being an internal martial art. To truly live it, the baguazhang master tends to live outside of what is perceived to be normal. Experiences typically come from the most unusual ways. On the surface of things, they do not always have anything to do with martial arts or Kungfu. But on recalling them years later, we can see the connection. To give an example, when I was a young boy of around ten years old, I was already kissing girls with the tongue behind the school sports shed. This was my "yin" life. While at the same time, if anybody was trying to look for me, they would find me at the local public library reading as much religious literature I could find. This was my "yang" life. All the other boys I knew, just wanted to play football. But don't worry guys. I did play soccer and rugby in high school. I was okay at them. They just weren't my preferred activities. I was more interested in deciphering fairy-tongue and getting in the good graces of the girls around me. The only problem is, is that way is a misguided strategy. Guys, I don't recommend it. Girls my age [because of this strategy] tended to come to me with their relationship problems like I was some sort of doctor or counselor... So while I was not scoring points with the girls my age much on account of being too mature, I tended to do far better with older women. For example, back when I was still ten years old, I had to visit the school dental nurse for my biannual oral check up. On my special day, I discovered that my dental nurse was Japanese in her early twenties. And very beautiful. She had a package so tight, that I had my first stirrings of manhood. The bit that I fondly remember is the intense sadistic way she glossed my teeth... Up real close and smelling of flowers. Somehow able to take me to extreme levels of pain that when flossing stopped, it made the relief exhilarating, over and over again. I don't know what got into me but when she was done and walked away, I found myself making a mental note that I'm gonna marry a woman like her one day. Now that mental note did not come to pass but if the subject of S&M ever comes up, she had to be Japanese for me to buy into it. So now you are probably wondering: How can I be talking about Japanese women giving S&M to a ten year old boy, while going on about mystical martial arts mumbo-jumbo in regards to baguazhang? And that's just the point! If you want to have a real adventure, you may have to let go of the five star package deal. And I was being polite with my real life example. So remember: You're shit days are the days you are doing baguazhang outside of the dojo or club. Your problems are your opponents manifesting in another form so you can take your baguazhang to the next level.
