In my experience, the defensive evasion skills of baguaquan...turning, twisting, bending, folding, stretching, ducking, dodging, et al...performed while rapidly stepping and spinning both inward and outward with tremendous speed...involves a higher degree of difficulty than do the same evasive movements performed in a fixed position or when most often taking linear steps as in other internal martial arts. As such, I think that simple circle walking, while holding any posture, is well within the capability of most beginners, but the advanced forms are not...and usually need to be gradually approached over time.
