Combat Baguazhang Nine Dragon System: Forms and Principles

by: John P. Painter
I am a newcomer to martial arts, and find this book full if inspiration and in-depth, no-nonsense understanding of the principles of internal arts. The Nine Dragon Baguazhang is so exciting in that it is a proven combat-oriented art. No tournament, flashy ineffective techniques. In fact, there are few techniques. Instead, Dr. Painter dives into the principles behind the Baguazhang, and with an understanding of these principles on can create endless situation-based techniques. For many years I would comb through library martial arts sections, but found the technique-based books impossible to replicate.

The Whirling Circles of Ba Gua Zhang: The Art and Legends of the Eight Trigram Palm

by: Frank Allen, Tina Chunna Zhang
The Whirling Circles of Baguazhang is a fantastic read for the novice and advanced martial artist.

I found it incredible for several reasons:

A great history -- the legends alone make me want to go out and practice!
An Inclusion of the "Thirty-Six Songs and the Forty-Eight Methods" which were an oral tradition of teachings to pass onto the students.
The Inclusion of the Daoist roots and some delving into the esoteric Iching.

The pictures and explanations are great, and it's overall just a very well-done book.

Earth Dragon Canon: Walking, Martial Arts, And Self Evolution

by: Troy Williams
I may be a relative noobie to the "internal martial arts" but I've been reading martial arts materials for about 30 years now, and I'm not sure I've ever read a more clear and down to earth book on martial arts than this one. When considering the topic is Bagua, and how esoteric so much of the material available about Bagua seems to be, the clarity and readability of this book seems even more remarkable. Coupled with the author's website (currently having some hosting problems, but he's doing his best to keep the videos available) this book is simply a must-have.
