Yeah, some of what BT posts sounds sometimes hostile. I'd bet, he's probably cool outside his flamboyant writing though. And while I may agree with some of paperweights comments, the fact and question still remains.
Baguazhang is a martial art.

You keep saying "fake." It would be one thing if Park taught fake things but it's all good stuff and makes sense logically. There is no crazy beliefs just practical knowledge.
Makes sense logically? Uhh, okay, that may be. If its practical knowledge then it should be tested and I don't mean anything else but a _friendly_ sparring session.
I can even understand folks practising martial arts and not wanting to take part in that kinda stuff (hey, to each their own), but that should be an exception. I'd think you could find someone to step up and put to practise that what is taught at a MARTIAL arts school.
So, BT may come off as hostile, but you guys are still dodging the point.
Just had to chime in. Both have made their points and I don't think this argument is going anywhere.
