help you guys out a little bit on understanding the whole "what's in a name" thang.

Linear Baguazhang

K, there are more examples of teh concepts involved with so called "linear" baguazhang. It still has circle walking as does all Bagua, if that's what is throwing you off.

It's lines of attack are direct though and there are other aspects of linear baguazhang that as you can see from the chart, make it appear to be along the lines of bajiquan, xingyi, etc.

but just wanted to clear that up a bit,

you can find lots more about it if you do a google on "linear baguazhang"

cheers

Concerning the linear bagua from Ng family site - if you read in their site history about Dr. Ng, it states that this style of linear bagua is unique to his family or some such.

Is the Southern United States really that far from China?

I just can't take this anymore.

If you are Chinese and know some form of MA can you just open your own Golden (insert animal) school and will people buy into it?

Prof. Kang Ge Wu's Bagua video shows a good example of linear Baguazhang in China(you can find it at plumpub.com)

You'd be surprised what we can get away with in this area, esp. if you're Chinese

I could have my own kungfu cult in less than a month, and I'm a 23 year old white guy, lol

"Concerning the linear bagua from Ng family site - if you read in their site history about Dr. Ng, it states that this style of linear bagua is unique to his family or some such."

No it's not unique.
Gao style has many "Post heaven" Linear drills and forms.
It is one of the trademarks of the system.

The Ng family pics look BaiJi flavored.
Most BaGua will look flavored though, depending on the branch and whom it passed through. To be Baiji flavored would only be a good thing IMHO>

how does one pronounce Ng anyway?

**BAI HE** · 10-24-2003, 08:05 PM

Ummm.
Sometimes Wu, so I've heard.

**Brad** · 10-24-2003, 08:07 PM

Ng is pronounced ing(as in runing) or Wu(Mandarin). All my friends named Ng pronounce it the first way.

**BAI HE** · 10-24-2003, 08:15 PM

A vietnamese friend of mine just married a lady from HK and said that her last name "Ng" was pronounced Umm.

You are probably somewhat right as well Brad. Anything Chineseis so horrifically vague it boggle the mind

**Bluesman** · 10-24-2003, 10:22 PM

I believe it is pronounced Ing.
This is just my observation, not a flame! Does anyone else think that the instructor in the Inside Kung Fu article looked like Billy Ray Cyrus from Flat Woods Ky ?
