there is way to many styles of bagua now, at least 50 styles because this student of bagua has this martial background or that martial background, now look at tai chi only a small handful of styles and hsing yi even less.

The principles of bagua are to vast that almost anything can pass as a single palm change, double palm change at least 50 variations of the basic old palms (animals) set and even more variations with the 64 palms set. there needs to be some clarity in the pakua world with what style or family system one is doing cause that all starts to become new bagua systems under someones last name coming out everyday saying they are the original!?!

I guess bakua can be called a infinite art while taiji and hsingyi stay relatively the same
