Pa-Kua is an ancient knowledge which was always taught in a very traditional Chinese form, passed on from generation to generation within the family nucleus. Today, Pa-Kua is taught in the Occident through a belt or level system. The knowledge, based on the ancient Pa-Kua symbol, ranges from Martial Art, Self Defense and Ancient Weapons, to healing arts such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Reflexology, Energy Ways and Chien-Chi-Kua.
In Chinese, Pa means eight and Kua means changes. Pa-Kua, the art of the Eight Changes, is thus a complete knowledge helping us through the ever changing situations of our daily life.
