What is Liu He Ba Fa / Liu Ho Pa Fa (6 Harmonies & 8 Methods)?

Also known as Water Boxing. This once secret closed-door Taoist Internal Art encompasses the advanced principles and techniques of Taiji Quan, Xingyi Quan, Bagua Zhang and Taoist Meditative Nei Gong. It was developed by a Taoist hermit, Chan Hay-Yee some 800 years ago during the Sung Dynasty in Shansi province. The objective of the 6 Harmonies is achieved through the internal and external co-ordination of the body, mind, and intention, with that of qi, spirit and movement. The 8 Methods are employed to develop a reserve of qi flow at the central core which has the quality of softness embracing hardness, and hardness embracing softness. This synthesis produces a spring-like undulating power in all the techniques of Liu Ho Pa Fa.
