Bajiquan (Eight Infinite Fist-style) is the "hard" or external component. The strikes of Baji are usually delivered at close range using linear movements powered by stomping or "drop stepping". The weapons of choice are the head, shoulders, elbows, hips, and buttocks Typically Baji is trained from low postures with extremly powerful stomps.
How exactly do they use the buttocks for a weapon? Yes that is a serious question; but no I can't keep a straight face while I'm typing it

They strike with them and deny space with them...ever heard of lady Lau plays flute? Or Fat old woman sits on toilet? These are EXTREMELY useful a powerful strikes, especially when executed by a female
Hehehehe I have some footage of old Baqua masters showing application for this. I will try to transfer and post a clip...I used it on knifethrower...ask him how well it works...hehehe it'll scare the sh out of you...if its actually applied you will lose a kneecap (pop)
Do you know what I mean when I say Walk the horse? As in moving the opponent the same way they move a stubborn horse? You place your back to the horse's side and lean into it while walking backwards...this is called the Zero pressure line in Military combatives. This can be applied after you shoulder strike as you turn and walk the horse with 3 small FAST steps then simply squat as though sitting on a toilet...be careful not to hurt your partner...you can hook his foot with yours if you so choose to insure a break. Can you Follow that??

When your butt's as big as Boar's....Just kidding. It seems to work really well for women because of thier bone structure in the hip and err... buttom area being wider than ours. it gives a lower center of gravity and applies force better.

Thanks, that makes sense... I've braced myself that way when my car was stuck in the snow in the past.

I think I've seen this before.
You can use your butt to actually knock the wind out of someone to set up a throw or sweep, usually one that involves the hips.

Okay now from the side they hit with their hip from under your hip in an upward and away motion after penetrating the bridges..thats called lady lau plays flute...its great for projectiling someone into other people or things that will injure them.
Indeed all you mates have clarified the issue very well, and I would like to apologize for that statement of mine which you have quoted. It's like that when you really want to share something and you go quite rash in explaining it. ANd I also agree that the transition from one low stance to another is that which greatly enhances the student, together with the stance. And as we know, fights do proceed with a single stance alone. Fighting is dynamic and we need to develop the skill of transition. This may sound quite theoretical indeed now, but I believe there is some grain of truth and practicality in it. The low horse stance I mentioned is really like that squat, with the legs spread apart and the feet grounded paralled together, with the arms in a punching-ready position(for added weight to the legs). This feels deadly painful, but it will help you practice your endurance. And yes mates this practice is not the only one that can improve us, but many other practices and trainings as well that you have mentioned. As for the squat, it is really traditional, and yet powerful. I have even seen pictures of monks doing it on wooden poles, with cups in their heads so that they would not slouch. In my mind, when this training is combined with speed and fast feet movements, one can be better. But, as I have said, there also other ways. PEace!!!
