a real treasure for the martial arts enthusiast. Published between
November 1990 and February 1997 the Pa Kua Journal was without
a doubt one of the best martial arts periodicals in the English
language. It lasted 32 excellent and interesting issues combining
high quality reportage with a wide ranging series of internviews
and articles by top notch practitioners of the art of BaGua.

without advertisements, for $34.95. and you don't have
to wait a month for each issue.
