Practicing baijiquan at sunset

Bajiquan is an ancient martial art whose name means “eight extremities boxing.” The eight extremities are the forearms, shoulders, elbows, fists, thighs, hips, knees and feet. Each one is a weapon that, when combined, can produce a single explosive force. As sunset turns the sky orange, bajiquan master Wu Hao duels not with an opponent, but with himself. Each strike conveys 300 years of discipline and is a tribute to an art that demands complete dedication. Strength, solitude and tradition, or the essence of bajiquan.
