Bagwa (or Pa Kua, Baguazhang) as a martial art is based on the theory of continuous change in response to a given situation. It is an internal form that sharpens reflexes and cultivates the understanding of one's mind and body. Just as Feng Shui is used as a tool to enhance positive Chi (energy) throughout one's home, Bagwa (Pa Kua, Baguazhang) - through movement - focuses the positive Chi within the body, redirecting and removing the negative Chi, harmonizing one's mind and body. Bagwa movements, when done correctly, balance and center one's Chi. Also, through proper training an individual is capable properly directing their Chi. Bagwa Walk is a special, circular walking position derived from the movement of various animals. The Oom Yung line of Bagwa consists of 360 techniques that encompass many different offensive and defensive positions. 

Training solely in Bagwa is an option, if your schedule is limited and you would like to focus on the health benefits from Bagua instead of training in 8 martial arts.
