If your opponent jumps around to avoid contact,
- if you also jump around like your opponent does, you are fighting the way that your opponent wants you to fight.
- if you stay in low stance with strong defense, move in inch by inch, and try to establish that initial contact, you are fighting the TCMA way.

Nor am I saying that a Baguazhang fighter should circle walk the whole match to look like the style. I am merely stating that I see no TCMA hand techniques in the videos you posted. I see plenty of throws. They look good. If you said that you did Sanda and Shuaijiao I'd be all for it.
I'm sorry that I don't have any videos except for some short clips on WeChat. I never competed, just sparred a lot. Why did you disregard my detailed explanation about what I'd expect to see from a TCMA fighter?? What John Wang showed is absolutely TCMA and works in fighting. That's the type of thing I'm talking about. Not boxing with boxing punches and boxing guards and boxing combinations.
And TCMA looks nothing like Shaw Brothers films.
