I only had time to watch the beginner's routine (second vid), but I liked the way he moved.

[mixjourneyman]

He's smooth and his walking is very good.

Interesting, i wonder who his teacher is.

Watch his inside hand as he walks the circle. move stop move stop move stop with each step.

Maybe to do with his body bouncing back with each step rather that remaining twisted into the centre.

good to see a UK ba gua bloke though! All the best to him!

Cheers

Chu King Hung learn't Gao style from Ho Ho Choi, I didn't know he did Jiang.

Something I wish I'd see more from Bagua, Taiji and Xingyi people in their application clips is proactively setting up a reaction and bridge for entry and then applying theh finsh, and less waiting for the person to attack and then responding... That's why I like watching people like Luo De Xiu's, Su Dong Chen's, Tim Cartmell's, John Wang's etc... application clips.
