In my local paper, The Boulder Daily Camera, there was an article on "Pa Kua International". This was not the Bagua Zhang the martial art that i know and love and have spent 10 years + of my life studying but a strange amalgamation of various martial arts and spiritualism. With some circle walking thrown in for good measure.
This is the "stuff" that gives Traditional Chinese Martial Arts a bad name. It is Ok for what it is (Karate?), but don't call it something it is not (Pa Kua Chang/ Bagua Zhang)for the sake of marketing.
