I think this is a beautiful art form and fighting style. I agree with mythial, it can seem like a dance right now but wait until it is used in combat. Take capoeira for example, it looks like a cool dance and the object of the game is to not hit your opponent but if you are in the crossfire of one of those swinging kicks...

Yeah, piguaquan is flashy with the arm swings and stuff, but that doesn't mean it'll be good at doing any good amount of damage. I don't know, maybe it's just this lady's form. It doesn't look practical in a fight at all.
that's actually very wrong because all practitioners of the art have to harden their fists by breaking bricks and stuff in order to get past the impracticality of slapping your opponent in the face.
Incorrect ultimateearner this is a very common self defense style taught in china and taiwan even today and just as tai chi chuan it is a real martial art as well. Just because people use a modified form of it for exercise doesn't negate the effect of the true martial art.
I think the Virtua Fighter series should add a pi gua quan fighter for their series since Tekken and Dead or Alive have their own. If ba ji quan is in all three series, Virtua Fighter should have pi gua quan, for the two arts were one.
I study this style alot and I know for a fact that Helena from DOA imitates this slgihtly better than Ling Xiayou from Tekken. However, this works out in Ling's favor in the fact that she hits 5x harder than Helena.
@midnightbliss69 I train this style a little bit and yes it does hurt. I actually swung my arms so much I burst a blood vessel in my hand. No wonder Taiji is more popular.
@midnightbliss69 Imagine being hit by her hands... I think that would hurt more. the style is to use the arms like whips the momentum of the swing increases the impact.

just to get your facts straight, Chinese people didn't have muslim, it was buddhism back then and still is today. Muslim is centered around the middle east and parts of northern africa. Just so you know! :)
actually Islam was brought to China in 651 (according to wikipedia), and the religion has played an important roll in chinas history. Also the largest population of Muslims isn't in the middle east or North Africa but Indonesia. Lastly China consists of many different religions than just Buddhism (ie Taoism), just figured you'd wanna know.
Oh sorry gents, that comment was aimed to some other fellow back, claiming that there wasn't any islam in China. Just didn't want you all thinking I was trying to give a history lesson for no reason what so ever.
piquaquan where you use your arms as whips, cant get any better

Ling Xiaoyu makes it looks more easier and cuter. Somehow, the original version of it, well, it's really the same, but. O.o'' Interesting form.
