    She's so flowing and makes it look effortless, but it looks so incredibly precise. As with lots of people, I found out about Baguazhang through Avatar, and I just find the movements mesmerising.
    As a slightly weird thought as a person with long hair, I kept imagining hair getting in her mouth (I've just never been very graceful)

    You have to have a deep understanding of basics and technique to see how her movements are actually highly useful. This is a form, an exercise, to develop your mind and body, with martial arts movements "flowing" from 1 combination to another. From there you have to imagine how these movements are applied with an opponent or opponents----which is only achieved with partner training.

    I look at her, and I see that some moves are a mix of strikes and blocks, making them look...... Airy and smooth. I do believe that originally this martial art would be different, as would most. Still, can't help but think how to apply this to life. Like using a full strike instead of one that is...... Special
