Baji & Pigua on Film — Video Index
On this page
Video for Baji (八極拳) and its classical partner Pigua (劈掛掌) — "八極參劈掛,神鬼都害怕." No film of Li Shuwen survives (and beware AI fakes of him); the record begins with Liu Yunqiao's generation. ⭐ = archival / named master; [demo] = modern lineage demonstration.
⭐ Archival highlights
⭐ 劉雲樵 Liu Yunqiao — Baji, the master himself (2006 release of 1970s–80s film) · 連環拳 · 武壇小八極
⭐ 郭瑞祥 Guo Ruixiang — Pigua / 通備, 1990 Tokyo — pre-2000 film of the Cangzhou Ma-style 通備 holder
⚠️ AVOID: a Bilibili "李書文 historic film" is AI-fabricated — no genuine footage of Li Shuwen exists.
