雖然八卦拳內涵豐富而且非常深奧，加上它是採擷各種拳術的精華。
Bagua Quan is is rich in content and very profound, and it is the essence of various martial arts.
0:00:09.034,0:00:13.781
然而習練八卦有所成就的可謂少之又少。
However, very few have achieved success in practicing Bagua Quan.
0:00:13.781,0:00:18.628
一般傳授八卦拳的師父抱著審慎的心態來授拳，
Generally, teachers who teach Bagua Quan teach with a cautious attitude;
0:00:18.628,0:00:22.068
因此八卦拳的流傳並不普遍。
therefore, Bagua Quan is not widespread.
0:00:22.068,0:00:26.312
在公開的場合幾乎也很少能看得到八卦拳。
In addition, Bagua Quan can hardly be seen in public.
0:00:26.479,0:00:32.800
八卦拳是一種高智慧的拳術，對於智慧的啟發很有幫助。
Bagua Quan is a martial art of wisdom, which is very helpful for enlightening.
0:00:35.178,0:00:44.324
八卦拳最基本的三種樁步是騎馬步、登弓步、含機步。
The three most basic stances in Bagua Quan are the Horse Riding Stance, the Bow Stance, and the Containing Chances Stance.
0:00:44.625,0:00:49.975
它們的共同點是強調腰背直、臀部突出。
What they have in common is the emphasis on straight back and protruding butts.
0:00:51.415,0:00:57.368
騎馬步又稱馬步，小腿直，大腿平。
Horse Riding Stance is also called Horse Stance, with straight calves and flat thighs.
0:00:57.502,0:01:01.244
這一種招式又叫童子拜觀音。
This kind of move is also called Boy Worshiping Guanyin.
0:01:01.914,0:01:08.101
登弓步又叫弓步，前腿扣、後腿直。
Climbing Bow Stance is also called Bow Stance, with the hooked front leg and the straight back leg.
0:01:08.101,0:01:12.982
掌呈推掌，前後腳呈丁字。
The palm is a Pushing Palm, and the front and back feet are in the shape of a T-shaped.
0:01:13.530,0:01:18.198
含機步式子與含機步相去不遠。
The posture of Containing Chances Stance is not far from Containing Chances Stance.
0:01:18.466,0:01:23.514
名為含機表示內含多種機巧變化。
The name Containing Chances means that it contains a variety of skill changes.
0:01:23.866,0:01:29.216
前腳實，後腳虛。中部是不動的。
The front foot is solid, the back foot is feeble. The center won’t be moved.
0:01:29.383,0:01:39.490
跟它相對的就是活潑的基本腳步，這也是八卦拳的基本腿步，名稱叫十步腿。
Its opposite is the lively basic step, which is also the basic leg skills of Bagua Quan, and it is called Ten Step Leg.
0:01:39.892,0:01:46.314
主要用腿前後走動十步，拳只是配合腿的動作，
Mainly use the legs to walk back and forth for ten steps, and the punches are just to match the movements of the legs.

也稱為十步拳。
It is also called the Ten Step Quan.
0:02:10.623,0:02:18.502
八卦拳是八卦門派總名稱，它分為八卦拳和八卦掌兩路。
Bagua Quan is the general name of different Bagua schools, which is divided into Bagua Quan and Bagua Zhang.
0:02:18.904,0:02:24.522
八卦拳以練力為主，拳路是直線的。
Bagua Quan mainly focuses on strength training, and the path of quan is straight.
0:02:24.522,0:02:26.522
一共包括九套。
There are nine sets in total.
0:02:26.855,0:02:33.518
除了位居中宮的基本拳，還有位居八方的八宮拳。
In addition to the basic quan in the central palace, there are also eight palace quans in eight directions.
0:02:33.518,0:02:39.203
一套基本拳再加上八宮拳，合而為九宮。
A set of basic quan and eight palace quans are combined into Nine Palace Quan.
0:02:39.906,0:02:48.137
打基本拳最大的特色是，所屬的招式必須走入所屬的宮位。
The biggest feature of playing basic quan is that the posture must go in the palace where it belongs to.
0:02:50.549,0:03:00.988
位居八方的八宮拳也就是乾宮拳、坎宮拳、艮宮拳、
Eight palace quans in eight directions are Qian Palace Quan, Kan Palace Quan, Gen Palace Quan,
0:03:01.658,0:03:13.473
震宮拳、巽宮拳、離宮拳、坤宮拳和兌宮拳。
Zhen Palace Quan, Xun Palace Quan, Li Palace Quan, Kun Palace Quan, and Dui Palace Quan.
0:03:14.679,0:03:23.680
其中的離宮拳生理屬心臟，醫理屬火，術理屬陽。
Among them, the physiology of Li Palace Quan belongs to the heart, the medical theory belongs to fire, and the skill theory belongs to Yang.
0:03:23.847,0:03:27.689
動作名稱為丹鳳朝陽。
The name of the movement is Red Phoenix Faces the Sun.
0:03:27.890,0:03:32.302
換言之它的招式表現完全是陽剛的，
In other words, the performance of its movement is completely masculine,
0:03:32.302,0:03:36.781
能夠促進血液的循環，有益心臟健康。
and it can help with the blood circulation, which is good for the health of the heart.
0:04:03.580,0:04:06.283
此外還有坤宮拳。
In addition, there is Kun Palace Quan.
0:04:06.819,0:04:11.164
坤指的是女子，適合女子演示。
Kun refers to female, and it’s suitable for females to demonstrate.
0:04:11.164,0:04:16.011
拳招性質柔和，動作也緊密小巧。
The movement of the quan is soft in nature, and the movements are tight and small.
0:04:16.011,0:04:21.528
是一種運動腹部的拳法，出手也以取中路為主。
It is a quan for exercising the abdomen, and when attacking, it mainly focuses on the central of the opponent.
0:04:39.450,0:04:45.537
八卦拳門下共分兩路，一路八卦拳，一路八卦掌。
There are two groups of Bagua Quan, one is Bagua Quan and the other is Bagua Zhang.
0:04:45.738,0:04:51.054
八卦拳是以練力為主，偏重防身自衛的武技。
Bagua Quan is a martial skill that focuses on strength training and self-defense.
0:04:51.054,0:04:56.638
而八卦掌則以練氣為主，著重身體內部的調養。
Bagua Zhang, on the other hand, focuses on Qi training and the internal cultivation of the body.
0:04:56.638,0:04:58.638
是養生的拳法。
It’s a health-preserving quan.
0:05:03.026,0:05:06.541
正因為八卦拳是養生的掌法，
Because Bagua Quan is a palm technique for health preservation,
0:05:06.541,0:05:13.164
它以內四掌來調理內腑，以外四掌來鍛鍊身軀。
it cultivates the internal organs with the Inner Four Palm, and train the body with the Outer Four Palm.
0:05:41.304,0:05:44.376
八卦掌是以養生為主。
Bagua Zhang mainly focuses on health preservation.
0:05:44.376,0:05:51.233
對內能夠影響人體的內腑，對外可以運動四個部位。
Internally, it can affect the internal organs of the human body , and externally, it can exercise four parts.
0:05:51.601,0:05:57.353
這一種八卦掌的術理是根據醫理來影響生理，
This kind of skill theory of Bagua Zhang is based on the medical theory to affect the physiology,
0:05:57.353,0:06:02.100
進而以後天的鍛鍊補先天生理的不足。
and then take nurturant exercise to make up for the deficiency of natural physiology.
0:06:02.100,0:06:10.331
因此精、氣、神受到良好的影響，身體自然健康了。
Therefore, the essence, qi, and spirit are well-affected, and the body will also be naturally healthy.
0:08:11.599,0:08:15.676
八卦拳是發源於清朝光緒年間。
Bagua Quan originated in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty.
0:08:15.877,0:08:25.320
雖然歷史不算悠久，但是由於師門的不同，說法各有紛紜，演練也各有歧異。
The history is not really long, but because of the different divisions, the ways of sayings and exercises are also different.
0:08:25.655,0:08:32.747
八卦拳掌複用也有的特重掌法而敬稱八卦掌。
Some Bagua Quan and Zhang are used together, but if it emphasizes on the palm skills, it is known as Bagua Zhang.
0:08:33.216,0:08:37.125
八卦掌各掌有各掌的基本招式。
Each palm of Bagua Zhang has its own basic moves.
0:08:43.289,0:08:48.170
乾掌的基本招式蛇形順勢掌。
The basic posture of Qian Palm is Snake-shaped Flowing Palm.
0:08:54.000,0:08:58.914
坎掌的基本招式龍形穿手掌。

0:10:10.200,0:10:15.550
兌掌的基本招式停身搬扣掌。
The basic posture of Dui Palm is Stopping Body Moving Hook Palm.
0:10:16.555,0:10:23.010
這八個基本招式，將之連環串結就有了無窮的變化。
Combining these eight basic moves in series creates endless variations.
0:10:23.211,0:10:26.417
這就是八卦連環掌。
This is the Bagua Serial Palm (Bagua Lianhuan Zhang).
0:12:41.869,0:12:50.167
八卦龍形游身掌含有八八六十四招，招招應和陰陽虛實的變化。
Bagua Dragon-shaped Swimming Body Palm (You Shen Zhang) contains sixty-four postures, and every posture echoes the changes of Yin, Yang, pretended, and reality.
0:12:50.167,0:12:58.230
練到精純就能像龍形飛舞般的機巧矯捷，變幻莫測了。
When it is practiced proficiently, it will be as ingenious and agile as a flying dragon, and it will be unpredictable.
0:13:25.866,0:13:33.929
另外，根據太極生兩儀，兩儀生四象，四像生八卦，
In addition, according to the saying, “Taiji generates Liangyi, Liangyi generates Sixiang, and Sixiang generates Bagua,”
0:13:34.163,0:13:45.040
八卦變化六十四卦的原理也生有兩儀掌、八卦腿，以及八卦六十四掌。
there are Liangyi Zhang (Liangyi Palm), Bagua Tui (Bagua Leg) and Bagua Sixty-four Zhang (Bagua Sixty-four Palm) generated from the principle of changing Bagua sixty-four hexagrams.
0:14:03.967,0:14:08.647
八卦拳門下除了有偏重防身自衛的八卦拳，
In addition to Bagua Quan, which focuses on self-defense,
0:14:08.647,0:14:12.801
以及特重養生的八卦掌之外，還有兵器。
and Bagua Zhang, which focuses on health preservation, there are weapons in Bagua Quan.
0:14:12.801,0:14:16.811
這一些兵器是根據八卦拳發展出來的。
These weapons are developed based on Bagua Quan.
0:14:18.811,0:14:23.055
八卦刀特殊在陰陽虛實的變化。
The Bagua Sabre is special in the change of Yin, Yang, pretended, and reality.
0:14:23.055,0:14:26.730
雖然看起來和一般刀法並無兩樣，
Although it looks the same as ordinary sabre technique,
0:14:26.730,0:14:31.108
只是它有最特別的換手刀的招式。
the most special part of it is the move, Changing Hands Sabre.
0:14:31.108,0:14:35.017
當對方把注意力集中在握刀的手上，
When the opponent focuses on the hand which is holding the sabre,
0:14:35.017,0:14:38.625
刀在瞬間轉換擊向對方。
switch the Sabre to hit the opponent in an instant.
0:14:38.625,0:14:43.115
轉陰為陽，換虛為實。
Turn Yin into Yang, and change from pretended to reality.
0:14:51.243,0:14:58.000
八卦棍特點是穩、狠、準。
The characteristics of Bagua Staff are stability, ruthlessness, and accuracy.
0:14:58.837,0:15:03.617
本來棍是硬的，招式卻是柔和的。
Originally the staff is hard, but the moves are gentle.
0:15:03.617,0:15:08.833
溫和而不柔弱，發勁由柔轉剛。
Gentle but not weak, and the strength is changed from soft to rigid.
0:15:11.580,0:15:16.394
槍是八卦兵器中最具特色的兵器。
The Spear is the most distinctive weapon among Bagua weapons.
0:15:16.394,0:15:19.198
尤其當槍倒轉陰陽，
Especially when the spear reverses Yin and Yang,
0:15:19.198,0:15:23.107
槍頭指向圓心，人繞圓周而走。
the tip of the spear points to the center of a circle, and the person walks around the circle.
0:15:23.107,0:15:28.591
這就是在尋找攻擊的時機和攻擊的方位。
It is to find the timing and the direction to attack.
0:15:28.591,0:15:35.683
不但充滿玄機，也表現伺機而動，需要在瞬間發威了。
Not only is it mysterious, but it also shows that it is waiting for an opportunity, and it needs to show its power in an instant.
0:15:54.911,0:16:00.897
八卦門下的門生一旦熟悉八卦拳和八卦掌後，
Once the disciples of Bagua are familiar with Bagua Quan and Bagua Zhang,
0:16:00.897,0:16:04.800
可以進而學習八卦拳散手。
he or she can then learn Baguaquan Sanshou.
0:16:04.800,0:16:09.212
所謂散手就是兩個人對打。
The so-called Sanshou is two people pair exercising.
0:16:09.413,0:16:14.999
八卦散手一招破一招，招式是固定的。
In Bagua Sanshou, one certain move breaks another one, and the moves are fixed.
0:16:15.568,0:16:19.209
雖然是固定的，但它變化萬千。
Although it is fixed, it is variable.
0:16:19.209,0:16:24.190
不僅出拳、出掌，甚至連指頭都用上了。
Not only fists and palms, but even fingers are used.
0:16:24.190,0:16:28.669
是一種實用的防禦和攻擊的訓練。
It is a practical defense and attack training.
0:16:30.478,0:16:34.990
八卦拳實用的防身效果是可以肯定的。
The practical self-defense effect of Bagua Quan is certain.
0:16:35.191,0:16:41.077
但是它有什麼特性呢？一般系列八卦拳又能得到什麼好處呢？
But what are its features? What benefits can one get from the general series of Bagua Quan?
0:16:41.278,0:16:48.320
現在我們請一位八十歲的八卦拳前輩宮寶齋師父來談一談這個問題。
Now we invite Master Gong Baozhai, an eighty-year-old senior Bagua Quan master, to talk about this issue.
0:16:49.057,0:16:54.474
八卦拳啊是以八卦的拳理配合五行，
Bagua Quan is based on the principle of Bagua combined with Wuxing,
0:16:55.211,0:17:03.643
再這個和人身的這個生理和醫理組合而生的。
and then combine it with the physical and medical principles of the human body.
0:17:03.643,0:17:08.055
然後再配上各家的技術的精華。
Then, affiliate with
the essence of techniques of each school.
0:17:08.256,0:17:10.457
我們的太極是不是精華啊？
Isn’t Taichi our essence?
0:17:11.060,0:17:13.830
把它配合起來組合而成的一種拳別
Combining these altogether to form a Quan style.
0:17:14.031,0:17:20.855
所以它是一種提倡自禦的拳別。
So, it is a Quan style that advocates self-defense.
0:17:21.056,0:17:24.429
那麼它實練的時候呢，就不一樣了。
When it is practiced in real-life, it will be different.
0:17:24.965,0:17:32.191
它實練的時候，它的動作的表現呢分兩路。
When it is practiced in real-life, its performance is divided into two ways.
0:17:32.693,0:17:35.564
一路呢是對外，一路是對內。
One way is external, and the other is internal.
0:17:35.564,0:17:40.646
對外呢，是以力為主，很適合於打鬥。
Externally, it focuses on strength, and it’s suitable for fighting.
0:17:41.115,0:17:45.694
對內呢，是以氣為主，很適合於養氣。
Internally, it focuses on qi, and it’s suitable for nourishing qi.
0:17:47.235,0:17:53.824
八卦拳拳掌複用，在演練中換掌是不可或缺的。
Bagua Quan and Zhang are used together, so it is indispensable to change palms when practicing.
0:17:53.824,0:18:00.145
換掌有多種換法，換掌四式是正式的方法。
There are many ways to change palms, and the Four Postures Changing Palm are the formal methods.
0:18:04.366,0:18:15.880
這四式是青龍擺尾、黑熊探爪、白蛇纏身、怪蟒翻身。
These four postures are Green Dragon Whips its Tail, Black Bear Stretches out its Claws, White Snake Coils its Body, and Great Python Turns its Body.
0:18:16.851,0:18:22.938
換掌通常是在方位和掌法改變時使用的。
Changing palms is usually used when the position and palm method are changed.
0:18:22.938,0:18:27.752
因為一方氣血正旺，突然偏向另一方，
Because one side is full of qi and blood, and it suddenly turns to the other side,
0:18:27.752,0:18:30.958
必須藉換掌來緩和。
it must be relieved by changing the palm.
0:18:31.159,0:18:36.810
如此，一來解除內臟的負荷，二來活絡經血。
In this way, firstly, the load on the internal organs is relieved, and secondly, the meridian blood is activated.
0:18:43.610,0:18:50.300
太極生兩儀，兩儀生四象，四象生八卦。
Taiji generates Liangyi, Liangyi generates Sixiang, and Sixiang generates Bagua.
0:18:50.300,0:18:54.444
這真是非常有趣而理性的數字推演。
This is a really interesting and rational digital deduction.
0:18:54.444,0:18:59.626
只是在數字之外，還有無窮無盡的虛實變化。
It’s just that besides the numbers, there are endless changes between pretended and reality.
0:18:59.626,0:19:03.368
我們老祖先的智慧真叫人嘆為觀止的。
The wisdom of our ancestors is really astonishing.
0:19:03.703,0:19:06.775
今天八卦拳我就為您介紹到這兒了。
This is the introduction of Bagua Quan for today.
0:19:06.775,0:19:12.000
