T.Y. Pang demonstrates his Ba Gua Zhang in Hawaii in 1978.

Wow, best Cheng style form video I've ever seen. Don't really get certain postures mechanics, but I like this a lot. Thank you.

just out of curiosity, what is it about his form that you guys liked?

I am willing to be money that Master Pang also does Taiji.

Corrected.

I liked the continuous circle "lianhuan" quality was very good, and was performed with very good balance and control. I also like the long palm changes. I don't really know any Sun Xi Kun Bagua, though my teacher knows stuff from that system so this was also an interesting video for me from an academic pov.

I liked his posture and the extent of his twisting.
