@pchemist Right, I should have said redundant, and now that I've looked at a bunch of the bagua videos here, I have to sadly agree with your assessment that bagua is suffering the fate of taiji.

@neondragon52 I think you mean 'redundant' rather than 'oxymoron.' Unfortunately, like taiji, there are people out there that don't realize it's a MARTIAL art.

Isn't calling your art 'Combat Bagua' sort of an oxymoron?

@HomedudePedroski You found a poor teacher then. But certainly, if you are interested in fighting within 6 months, pick up boxing and BJJ.

Actually my understanding is, that its tougher being bigger because of your strength it is less common that you use leverage. There for teaching those bigger guys isn't as easy. I am a Bagua practitioner my self.

I recently met this guy who practices Bagua (that's why I started looking into it, might get myself involved in it), and it's not theoretical at all, believe me... With right form and good conditioning you can compete with anyone. He fought for fun with another friend of mine who practiced full contact and ju jitsu for over 7 years, and he didn't get his ass kicked :P

I practice a traditional martial arts myself, a karate style. I find it theoriotical rather than applicable. It's too structured. I know I can use some of the blocks they teach us, but it just isn't enough. I'll soon be getting more into combative styles such as mma, judo, jiu-jitsu, and be a well-rounded martial artist. I respect the traditional styles, but they're not what I'm looking for.
