Master B. P. Chan way of teaching Ba Gua Zhang was keep Things simple and practical in one's martial arts training and in life. And I can say for the many years that I knew the man, he live by that philosophy. Here is a Link with some information about him. I will miss Master B. P. Chan a hell of a lot.

Blackdaoist:

Thank you for the site and replies.

I am sorry about your loss. I never met B.P. Chan but when I attended the Tai Chi Farm in the early 1990s, it was he and and his students that were responsible for the construction of the bagua garden. He was always spoken very highly of at the Tai Chi Farm.

I noticed in the last issue of Tai Chi magazine that they listed Liu Yun Chiao (Qiao) and Kay-Chi Leung (Liu's first disciple, teaching in Boston. His wife is the daughter of Han Qing Tang) as teachers of B.P. Chan. I am sorry to have never had the opportunity to have met him. Keeping training simple and practical is the hallmark of a great practitioner (Master).
