It is known to many that Baguazhang (八卦掌) had strong historical ties with Chinese wrestling (摔跤) within the ancient imperial court. In particular, Cheng Tinghua's Cheng-style Baguazhang is most renowned for its integrated striking and throwing techniques. In fact, even today, especially in the Beijing region, many Shuaijiao practitioners in the folk tradition also practice Baguazhang, as it significantly enhances flexibility, coordination, and footwork—essential qualities for effective combat. #
