Bagua for Fitness and self-defence

Despite the fact that the very first edition of this book was published many years ago, it is difficult to find a guide to Bagua, written as plain language - it is no secret that it is the inline styles, as opposed to the so-called "External", pose the greatest difficulty in self-study.
