Although the many branches of bagua zhang are often quite different from each other (some, like Cheng style, specialize in close-in wrestling and joint locks, while others, like some of the Yin styles, specialize in quick, long-range striking), all have circle walking, spiraling methodologies, and certain methods and techniques (piercing palms, crashing palms, etc.) in common. Regardless of style differences, it is all baguazhang and thus one family. Politics should not devide us as one.
Tian Family YinYang Baguazhang isn't inherited from Dong HaiChuan,so it's no strange that it is quite different from oher kinds of baguazhang in China.And as it is one of the so called traditional Chinese Martial Arts, the actions and strength are hard to practice,so there people who learn this bagua are fewer than other kinds of bagua.
I would say it's very similar to Xie Peiqi line. His system has 8 Animals which practice separately and a Penetrating Palm which suppose to be the sum of all the Animals.
Thanks for your comment. Id like to tell you that YinYang Buaguazhang is different from Xie Peiqis line. These differences are:
1. Xies is passed on from Dong HaiChuan. But Tian Family YinYang Buaguazhang was passed on from Biyun and Jingyun , Tian Ruhong learnt the system from these two Daoist priests at the end of Min Dynasty and then taught the system to his clan members. So its not related to Beijing Baguazhang which was passed on by Dong Haichuan to his disciples.
2. Tians 8 animals are different from Xies, Tians system is divided into these eight animal forms Python, Lion, Tiger, Bear, Snake, Monkey, Horse, Eagle (peng).
3. Tian Family YinYang Buaguazhang has 16 demonstrating routines, The content of the forms is different from Xies style. The name of the animal is just a name for the forms.
4. The style of the 8 animal forms is quite different from Xies, I am sure that you can distinguish the difference of the style between these two systems by watching the demonstration of Mr Tian Keyan.
excellent form. excellent gung fu.
