	Baguazhang
		Baguazhang is one of the three orthodox "internal" styles of Chinese martial art (the other two being Taijiquan and Xingyiquan).
		Baguazhang as a martial art is based on the theory of continuously changing in response to the situation at hand in order to overcome an opponent with skill rather than brute force.
		Although Baguazhang is a relatively new form of martial art, it became famous throughout China during its inventor's lifetime, mainly because of its effectiveness in combat and the high prestige this afforded its practitioners.

		Baguazhang is known to be a meticulous art form of the martial arts because it can almost be a very pretty sport to watch when watching a competition or at the least, very intriguing.
		Baguazhang is said to have a circle walk practice which enables the practicing bagua fighter the ability to execute different posturing techniques which will help the bagua fighter once he or she enters into the competition itself or once the guerilla warfare is considered to be commencing.
		Baguazhang is not taught in the more metropolitan areas of the US like one might expect and the schools of the bagua form must be pursued if you plan to experience the Baguazhang practices.
