HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Baguazhang stands as one of the three pillar Internal Martial Arts of China, synthesized by the legendary Dong Haichuan in the 19th century. Within this profound tradition, the Yin Style, originated by Yin Fu, holds a prestigious status due to its development within the Qing Dynasty Imperial Palace. Known as the 'Hard Palm' style, Yin Style Baguazhang emphasizes a rigorous and efficient martial approach. This Technical Routine, the 'Twelve Linking Kicks' (Shi Er Lian Tui), is a specialized component of the Yin Fu Lineage, focusing on the sophisticated leg techniques that were once guarded as palace secrets. Grandmaster Zhu Baozhen, a 7th Duan Wushu master and Vice President of the Beijing Baguazhang Research Association, provides an authoritative archival record of these essential methods.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
The Yin Style is characterized by its 'Cold, Springing, Hard, and Crisp' power. In the Twelve Linking Kicks, the biomechanics are rooted in the 'Circle Walking' (Zou Zhuan) foundation, where the practitioner maintains constant movement while delivering precise strikes. The Explosive Force (Fa-Jin) is generated through a highly coordinated Kinetic Chain, involving the '擰裹鑽翻' (Twisting, Enwrapping, Drilling, and Overturning) of the joints. Master Zhu demonstrates how the waist and legs must work in unison to produce 'Short Power' that is both fast and devastating. This practice serves as a form of 'Internal Alchemy,' refining the body's structural integrity and dynamic equilibrium.
TECHNICAL ROUTINE AND APPLICATIONS
This instructional DVD provides a meticulous breakdown of the Twelve Linking Kicks. The routine is designed to be 'Small Frame' and 'Evasive,' allowing the practitioner to strike while moving along the circle. Master Zhu explains the 'Twelve Linking' logic, where each kick flows seamlessly into the next, utilizing the 'Using the Circle to get a Point' strategy. The Technical Routine emphasizes 'Horizontal Opening and Diagonal Entering,' teaching the student how to bypass an opponent's defense through superior footwork and angle management. Each kick is analyzed for its specific martial intent, ensuring the practitioner understands the 'Hard and Crisp' nature of the Yin Style application.
PEDAGOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE
As an essential part of the 'Chinoisere2008 Traditional Wushu Collection,' this DVD is an invaluable teacher for any serious student of Baguazhang. Master Zhu Baozhen’s teaching is fact-driven and rigorous, stripping away mystical hyperbole to focus on the biological reality of movement and power generation. By mastering these kicking methods, practitioners build the necessary 'Internal Cohesion' and 'Technical Efficiency' to excel in the Yin Fu Lineage. This archive is a vital resource for preserving the authentic palace standards of Baguazhang, ensuring that the legacy of Dong Haichuan and Yin Fu remains a living part of the global martial arts heritage.

Zhu Baozhen: A Comprehensive Overview of Martial Arts Mastery and Lineage
Zhu Baozhen is a highly respected senior figure in the world of Chinese traditional martial arts, particularly renowned for his profound expertise in Beijing Baguazhang and Shuai Jiao (Chinese Wrestling). He is not only a practitioner who deeply understands combat theory but also a pivotal educator who has driven the internationalization of Baguazhang.
1. Lineage & Inter-style Relations
Zhu Baozhen’s martial arts system is rigorous and comprehensive, integrating the strengths of several prestigious lineages:
Liang Style Baguazhang: As an indoor disciple of Grandmaster Li Ziming, he is a core successor of the Liang Style. While mastering the specific combat characteristics of his own style, he was deeply influenced by Li Ziming’s philosophy of "openness and unity among all lineages."
Relationship with the Yin Style: Although a Liang Style practitioner by lineage, Master Zhu maintains deep academic and fraternal ties with Yin Style Baguazhang. During his tenure as Vice President of the Beijing Baguazhang Research Association, he committed himself to the collective development of all Baguazhang branches (Yin, Cheng, Liang, etc.). In his technical research, he is known for his inclusive approach, often comparing the "crisp and fast" nature of Yin Style with the "fluidity and explosive power" of Liang Style for comparative pedagogy.
Shuai Jiao: He studied under the famous wrestling master Man Baozhen (known as "Xiao Man"), which provided a strong foundational grit for his practical applications of Baguazhang.
Other Disciplines: He is also proficient in Fanzi Quan, Chang Quan (Long Fist), and various traditional weaponry.
2. Major Contributions & Achievements
Teaching & Global Outreach: A long-time faculty member at the Beijing Sport University, his students are found worldwide. He traveled frequently to North America and Europe to teach, making outstanding contributions to the international spread and technical standardization of Baguazhang.
Publications & Media: He has authored numerous professional treatises and recorded a vast library of high-quality instructional videos. His materials are renowned for detailed explanations, standardized movements, and a direct focus on combat application, serving as precious assets in digital martial arts archives.
Professional Standing: He served as a head judge for multiple national martial arts competitions and, as Vice President of the Beijing Baguazhang Research Association, led various initiatives for the protection of martial arts as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
3. Technical Style & Martial Characteristics
Master Zhu’s performance style vividly embodies the integration of traditional martial arts with modern science:
Precise Footwork: He places extreme emphasis on the accuracy and mechanical principles of the "Bai" (swinging) and "Kou" (hooking) steps, the core of Baguazhang.
Penetrating Power: His demonstrations clearly showcase the unique spiral energy and Fa Li (explosive power) inherent in the art.
Academic Pedagogy: He excels at combining traditional boxing theories and manuals with modern sports biomechanics, making complex martial techniques systematic and easy to comprehend.
HERITAGE ARCHIVE: This instructional media is part of the Chinoiserie2008 Traditional Wushu Collection. Our mission is to preserve the authentic lineage and technical standards of Chinese martial arts through systematic digital documentation.
