I'm sure the question has been asked before at one time or another, but ..

Do you feel that training in both bagua and tai chi can be contradictory and counter-productive at a basic level?

I think that an expert in a system can certainly benefit in crosstraining and examining another system, but I don't feel so confident for non-experts.

Anyway, I'd like to hear your opinions and possible experiences about this and also why do you feel it is either counter-productive or actually beneficial.

Thanks.
