MaGui bagua partner training, June 2010. I managed to get the whole thing to play, but the quality went way down.
Andrea and John, after a seminar in Guelph. Start with chuanzhang (with a little tricksiness towards the end on Andrea's side), then the single palm change (Andrea again adding a little extra), then the single hook (hmm, Andrea once again uses a trick John doesn't know yet). Bagua works against an opponent who is stronger than you, because you can always step or change angles. In partner training, you should cooperate to find the proper lines before playing with the other lines.

Good eye. John is stronger than me, so I cheat. Don't tell him, it's a bagua secret :)

I love how the man and the woman are doing 2 different methods. The man is coming forward, while the woman is coming forward from an angle. The difference in strategies shows a quite profound result. Just so there is no confusion about what I mean, the man's forward strategy does virtually nothing to the ladies centre, while the ladies angle strategy forces him off balance at virtually every step.
