I think you should never try to learn from a video.

Merciless is Mercy.

His two bagua videos are great if you want to compete in a forms tournament. I thought that the forms on the tapes were very flowery and I don't think they would lead to the body developement that would be useful for fighting. If I remember correctly he only demonstrated the pole exercises on those tapes. Not sure why he didn't do the forms as well.
Get his xingyi tapes. I think they're better.

Thanks for your comments guys, but the thing is that there is no acredited Pakua zhang teacher to show me the sistem, so could you give me a complete opinion because I thought that Liang Shou-yu was a great fighter and not just a forms practicioner, he even does some aplication on the movements. And I think one could learn from a video whit the right basics.
