Thanks for the link!!
It seems that indeed this is the form that we call "Jiang's bagua" judging from the name of techniques...however, since I haven't started it yet, I'm not sure, I'll check with my sifu...
As for the palms I practice, indeed it is a simplified version that teaches the eight basic palms, how to walk while holding them, and with several techniques to practice the changes. It really is pure bagua xingyi from Jiang, there are lots of xingyi stuffs in the changes, especially in the fifth and seventh where you use xingyi techniques (I don't really know ther names though).
I bet it is what you were reffering to in your comment about "the eight simplified palms you learn in pure Jiang lineage".
to tell you a little more about my style, these eight palms are the beginner stuff, we do not have stationary palms and start walking right away (first linear, then bagua)...
Thanks for all your infos, it's great to see another enthousiast!!
Take care and good practice!!
