Ba Gua & Hsing I

[weightvest]

I was wondering if anyone knew the history of these two arts.

I have heard very little on the history of Ba Gua (like who founded it), and the only thing of Hsing I i have heard is that it was invented by a man in prison.

I would be very grateful if someone could fill me in!

I reccomend www.emptyflower.com/xingyiquan . One of the most extensive site about Xingyiquan and with active forum talking about Xingyi, bagua, taiji and chinese martial art in general.

You should go to the neijia, taichi and other internal forum here, A lot of xingyi and bagua practitioners there.

Btw, i think the history of bagua in those bagua links doesn`t really represent the common bagua history.
