Bajiquan Unveiled - Techniques

What happens when the art you have practised for twenty years is taken from you overnight?

After radical cancer surgery and a life-changing complication that permanently altered his mobility, S Y Kelake BSc (Hons) - a Tang Sou Dao martial artist of twenty years - had to learn to walk again. Years later, he discovered Bajiquan: an art that did not ask him to be what he was, but to work with what he had.
