Seems to be baguazhang, as far as I can see! (Definitely better than those two young bagua guys I saw!)

In my rudimentary bagua training, we learned to do first one technique on all post, then opposite directions, then the 2nd technique on all post a.s.o., till you could do the 8 palms on 8 posts, in both directions, Finally, we had to do all 8 palms on all posts, also to change directions. Took a long time, and is still not mastered, of course! Nice, it’s the Luoshu (magic square of numbers 1 - 9) walk, done also with posts in many bagua schools.

Dayum, I never expected to see two young men practicing bagua that was even worse than mine in the baguazhang capital of the world! :( I can’t see the movie (at work), but I can say that I only found people practicing bagua in a park in China once, in Beijing - except it was really, really bad!
