Not familiar with this line from Taiwan - anyone familiar with this group?

Says "Li style", but looks like mostly Pigua actually

Although I don't practise it, the form (especially the rhythm and footwork) seem somewhat reminiscent of the baji I have seen that was passed down from Li Yuanzhi. (I have seen this referred to as Li style...not to be confused with Li Shuwen, of course).
I believe Li Yuanzhi's main teacher (for baji/pigua) was Ma Yingtu. As to the pigua, I have never seen any of his style, so I can't say whether that would confirm this supposition.

I see the movements from pi gua, xiao baji, da baji and baji linking form in the various applications - the one applications uses the 45 degree kicks found in the opening of the xiao baji I have been taught and practice. However, there are variations in the forms and applications that are different (I like what they do).

Thanks to both of you for the info

If I am not mistaken, he originally practiced Wutan baji, but reconnected with his family's baji on the mainland later. Hence it looks similar but different. Likely his approach is a hybrid.

Come to think of it that sounds familiar - thanks

It's Ji style Baji and Pigua (季式八極披掛) as taught by Master Ji Zhaohua 季昭華. Master Ji was a student of Liu Yunqiao and later went on to study Ji style Baji passed down by his great grandfather Ji Yunlong, a famous Baji master.

Among all the Baji guys who teach openly in Taiwan, I like his style the best in terms of apps.
