No the daoist had already invented bagua but Dong Hai Chuan took it a step further. He knew a palm style called Erlangquan. He mixed this style with daoist walking method and thus synthesized what are the roots we see in Yin and Cheng bagua.
Some of the followers from Liang Zhenpu lineage would argue this because Cheng Tinghua actually left while Yin Fu stayed until Dong's passing. But I do agree with you to some degree, it has a lot of both masters' flavor. Well when you take a novice and his senior classmates are already masters of their own respective styles their flavor was bound to rub off on him. I favor Cheng's style personally but I respect and enjoy them all.
Yin Fu, Cheng Tinghua and Liang Zhen Pu are Dong Hai Chuan's most notable students. Liang Zhenpu was the last disciple of his and he had no prior knowledge of kung-fu while he studied with Dong. They say his lineage is closer to Dong's own personal version.
@Aramis2000 They can't be rivals, people in China are very tollerant about religious views; many people who went to the Shaolin monastery were Taoist. The only truth thing is that, according to the tradition, internal king fu stiles which fluorished on Wudang developed after the inner, so they would be, like an upgraded version of things practiced in Shaolin. Maybe it's only a matter of different approaches but since I tried both styles I believe that internal styles are way superior
@wahzzzup hey, he is a older Kungfu-Brother of mine and soon he give a workshop in Turkey (Oct. 2010). u can contact me through my channel. greetings Ismet
@Aramis2000 Wudang is a sacred montain in China. While Shaolin monks, who can be classified as practicioners of external styles, are Buddhists, the monks on the Wudang mountains practise the so called internal stiles and they are Taoists.
Baguazhang is not a style where you see "power." So you won't see the "power." Yin style bagua is more explosive than Cheng. If this is what you mean, then that's the reason. Remember all bagua has its roots from Wudang.
I am speechless.
This is the best baguazhang I have ever seen.
Simply jaw dropping.
超贊~~八卦掌味十足! [百練不如一走;百練走為先],是先輩們的金石良言! 旋碗,轉身,擺扣,這些動作大師演練都精湛到位. 网上看到某些拳家演練由於極少旋碗,轉身,擺扣,而將內家八卦掌變成外家長拳.
This is the most beautiful form I have ever witnessed
Taiji
Bagua
Baji
Are 3 greatest treasures of internal Chinese Congfu.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful technique and form (and beard)
Does anyone else think that would be a ridiculously awesome movie trailer? "In a world where tyranny and strife are rampant..."
This guy is a son of a dragon on Wudang mountains

Now that is remarkable skill

Ok, I show three of his palms in my video and I freestyle the rest.
proof of his death? it would have been an honor to learn from him.

no, nor can he change your thoughts. So why not leave here?
I feel like I've seen this man before, is he of european descent -- not chinese?
Is this Master Wang?
can he stop a bullet?
You cant, unfortunately this master died a few years ago.
how do you know that? where did you get that information???
You may be confusing him with shi fei.
