''"The essence of Tai-qiquan is balance. Balance between offence and defence and attention to the flow of chi. These eight lessons will form the foundation of your Taoist martial arts. Attend to them well, for deficiency in any one of these techniques will lead to deficiency as a warrior, and as a cultivator of your internal chi."''

=Overview=

This page is a '''Lore Sheet''' for '''Eight Trigram Wushu''', a set of eight '''Wushu Secrets''' that maximise the power of martial arts Chi fundamentals.

These techniques can only be used for '''physical conflict'''.

The four Yang Techniques can be used for all forms of ''physical conflict'' attacks, be they unarmed, with melee weaponry, at range or with any other sort of kung fu! This versatility is part of what makes Eight Trigram Wushu a core part of wushu training for every Xia character!

The four Yin Techniques can only be used to defend against physical attacks, and they are equally efficacious against all forms and modes of physical attack.
