Eight Animals. Eight Methods.
Neoclassical methods of training rooted in classical Chinese martial arts and adapted for practical applications.
Baat Ying Baat Faat, 八形八法, means Eight Animals Eight Methods. The system preserves classical Chinese martial arts while asking each student to look beyond memorized movements. Forms, drills, conditioning, and partner practice are all tools for understanding how the art works. Each animal teaches a different expression of movement, strategy, and energy. Each method develops a different way of applying power, timing, control, or adaptation. The goal is not simply to collect techniques, but to understand the principles behind them and make them useful in practical training.
