I can't imagine Morihei Ueshiba having any link whatsoever to Baguazhang.

If Ueshiba had really studied Bagua the way BK Frantzis claimed, then Aikido would've had a circle walk, Single/Double palm changes, and TONS of striking from all angles.


You can't have a reality based martial art without striking, and you can't have a reality based martial art without grappling.

You must have BOTH if you want to survive a real fight.
