Piguaquan PDF 

Piguaquan ( literally chop-hitch fist) is related to Bājíquán (literally eight extremes fist) and is a style of wushu (Chinese martial arts) that features explosive, long range power and is famous for its palm techniques. It originated in Hebei Province of North China, but is also well-known in other places as well today, especially Taiwan.

 

Piqua's power is from the accelerational force of the arms which are often in rotation. The hip movement in Pigua is more subtle and gentle than it's rougher counterpart because you only need enough to guide the big chops whereas in baji, the hammers, punches, elbows and swings rely completely on the hips' quick and powerful rotation and sink to bring its power out.

Originally Baji and Pigua were the same art but split from each other hundreds of years ago. Master Li Shu Wen remarried the two systems in the late 18th Century/early 19th Century. Today these two styles are often taught together and are said to complement each other.
