Hi Folks...and what of a a bagua style rapier/epee sword?

[Zorro Dantes]

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?

Hi Zorro.  Welcome.

 

I don't let anyone get close to me when I am practicing my Double Sword Tai Chi.

I know little about bagua, but I used to do a lot of fencing in the past. So I reckon they'd have to step into the circle towards each other to perform an attack - is this allowed in bagua?
