Urgh....
Yikes......
Mouth Boxers have not the testicular nor the spinal fortitude to be known.
Hence they hide rather than be known as adults.
Jeepers...

I didn't know that the Funky Chicken was one of the classical bagua animals...
I have yet to see nice Bagua on YouTube. Perhaps I just have had bad luck locating any good vids...
Can anyone post some nice Bagua vids?
Sun Zhijun
Xie Peiqi
Luo Dexiu
There are others, these tend to be some of the best. Only Xie Peiqi has since passed, but He Jinbao is his successor and he's pretty good.

Cool,
Of the three you posted I like Xie Peiqi the best.
I've seen pictures and articles of He JinBao and am not crazy about the way he sticks his @ss out like a kung fu practioner. Did he change what Xie Peiqi taught or did Xie Peiqi do the same thing?
There's an old interview with Liu Xing Han on youtube. All in Chinese, so any speakers should get some nice background info. For me it was nice to see guys from the lineage I study working out in Temple of Heaven park.
Might just be a younger vs older guy issue, Bagua is a form of kungfu anyways, so I'm not too sure what you mean by that.
I think He Jinbao is pretty good imho, and probably one of the more realistic teachers in terms of fighting ability than most TCMA guys coming from modern China.
what I mean is tucked vs untucked.
I prefer a tucked position. This transfers stress from the knee to the thigh. I think it also creates a better connection to the ground.
Just my opinion.
of course, now, looking for that picture, I can't find it. Could be I'm mistaken?
The picture was a young man with long hair. Almost looked like a HungGar pose.
Oh well... probably I'm suffering from empty head syndrome.
Hey woliveri,
I'm not sure if you're referencing a particular photo or video but the Xie Peiqi line of Bagua, including its current lineage holder He Jinbao, teach to keep the hip tucked. I believe it varies some based on the particular animal system being demonstrated, but it was a consistent focus back when I was fortunate enough to train that system.
