Detailed descriptions with photos of the essence and requirements of the MaGui bagua system. This manual is intended for those practising the system, but others might find it interesting. It is written by Andrea Falk, and reflects her current understanding of the techniques. It is descriptive, not philosophical.
For details, see my website www.maguibagua.ca, of which the manual is essentially a print version. The training manual reproduces (with some extra details and print quality photos) the material on the website. Due to questions of copyright, however, the photos are only of me. In the website I prefer to have photos of others.
