what's sad is the martial application of many tma is dead or near extinction when 100-300years ago they were the real deal and trained for fighting 24/7.

I doubt you would see a real bagua guy with wu shu in general. The whole national champ thing makes me skeptical since Bagua. It would be cool if you found one, though who knows.
most ppl just say they practice real bagua, and don't even know they are missing all of the basics wich makes it bagua. The only ones I really know that do practice bagua are Yang Guo Tai and John Spak.
