BACHI-KI-DO is a modified, extensive martial arts system, which was developed by grand master Ralf Bartzsch 9th Dan. One characteristic of BACHI-KI-DO is to fend the attacker off unarmed, just by using your hands and feet. All BACHI-KI-DO moves are based on the principle of defense. The techniques, which are matched with the rate of progress, are set up so that everyone, women & men, young & old, is able to learn it and, if necessary, knows how to apply it in real life. They are effective, quick, elegant, modern times-ready, without losing track of Bachi-Ki-Do’s tradition and its origin. Based on the traditional Ching-Mo Moon style and its animal styles, Bachi-Ki-Do was developed into an extensive martial arts system, using elements of different hard and soft martial arts. Next to partner exercises one learns basic forms, breathing techniques and later on as an advanced learner, one also learns animal and weapon forms. Forms, which mean a fight against several imaginary opponents, contain different kicks, punches, throws, blocks and releasing techniques. Bachi-Ki-Do is not meant to be understood as a package of various techniques and forms. It’s a fully working system, considering the setup of the different techniques starting from the beginner to the master degree. The practice doesn’t only build up physical strength and technique, but it also helps forming personality and building up mental strength. On this DVD the BACHI-KI-DO system is presented by grandmaster Ralf Bartzsch and his students.
