Bagua/Pakua means "8 symbols" and is based on the I Ching. It is an internal style of Kung Fu as well which is used to develop the chi.
The most important thing I have taken from training and teaching Bagua is the circle walking. If you notice how they walk in arcs, it is something that people do not generally do and with practice you can get behind an attacker fluidly with 2 steps in a blink of the eye.
The circle walking is also key in understanding how one must move when faced with a multiple attacker scenario in confined quarters. When training 5 vs 1 sparring in a 20 x 20 square proper use of circle walking is the only thing that prevents a person from being overwhelmed and taken down.
