Seperating waist and hips, and moving from the waist are actually some of the important concepts that my Bagua teacher emphasizes from day one. It was never "hips first, waist later" for me. I learned it painfully by trying to twist from the waist as much as I could while he held on to my hips firmly to make sure that they didn't move an inch.
However, there are also Bagua people who don't move this way and are perfectly happy with utilizing waist and hips as a unit. (Most of them also practice other systems and simply use those body methods in their Bagua.)
