Over about the last 8-9 months or so I've begun to sincerely look into what the Dao Science is comprised of... and most recently I've decided to start doing the gradual plunge deeper...and deeper, into bagua, both bagauzhang and the triagrams, I-ching and what not....but most of all lately I was watching the college fencing replays, and kind of see why cats with actual swordsmanship skills frown upon modern fencing...that being said if one were to establish a kill point system and allow circling...anyway, would it be completely outlandish to suggest that a epee/rapier could make for a very neat baguazhang tool?
