Ba Pan Zhang is just another name for Bagua or Pakua Zhang.
It is the same thing.
Although the changes are infinite, the principles are the same.

To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the highest skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the highest skill.

Yin Yang BA PAN ZHANG
-TCBG 311
by Ren Zhi Cheng
$12.95 Traditional Chinese Characters
"Published first in 1937, Ba Pan refers to "eight flat things"and can translated as levels. This lineage claims Yin Fu. Whatever the exact lineage, this is one of the most flavorful representations of BaGua you'll see. The twist are extreme and exciting. The spirit of the BaGua completely realized with tremendous monkey-like actions. Just for the photographs, a treasure. Contents include: Explanation of practice, Big BaGua, Ba Pan holds, Ba Pan Saber, Ba Pan Spear, practice drills, four generations of Ba Pan. Special items mentioned are Monkey and Chuan Lin (Forest Penetrating) movements. We have the same thing in our LION Books reprint (LBRP-C034) —elsewhere on this page— format which is larger and has notes but this is a neatly done edition with a beautiful cover."

Bapanzhang is supposedly a precursor to baquazhang. It was supposedly taught in the same town as Dong Hai Quan and they 'run the circle' as opposed to 'walk the circle'. It has a clouded historical reference shouded in BS and such so it, along with dubious embellishments, diminished the positive background and exposure, it would not otherwise have!
