Just because there are certain correlation between various traditions, does not mean that there is a deeper connection or correspondance. Chinese culture and daoist thought (especially the I ching) is deep enough to warrant a lifetime of study in itself. Depth is definitely more important than breadth in consideration.Also the new diagrams of the forms presented in the book are, if you look closely, different from those drawn his own original notes which are shown in the book. The 64 palms are meant to be performed with the body leaning slightly forward and not completely upright. I have no doubt of Mr.Pittman's lineage and the quality of the instruction he received, but the huge body of information in Gao Bagua is impossible to be captured within only 2 years of even intensive study. Even if you were to note everything down carefully on paper, your body needs time to internalize the information, and without years of a teacher correcting your mistakes, the form will naturally change with time, and bad habits get compounded. This was also before the days of cam corders.What I suspect has happened (and this is reinforced by his DVD) is that Mr. Pittman, after returning from Taiwan and unable to find a teacher, has suplemented his Bagua study with a lot of practice in Taichi, so the dynamism of the Bagua has been lost and has become a soft, marshmallow shadow of the the former practice.I currently study Gao Bagua in Hong Kong under a 3rd generation lineage holder and beside the branch in Hong Kong have regular correspondence with the two Gao branches in Taiwan. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This great. I learned part of this system 20 years ... *by K***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2017* This great. I learned part of this system 20 years ago, from the author, and never had the opportunity to continue further...until now. The book is well laid out and the instruction are clear. I wouldn't think it would be very useful to a beginner but someone with martial arts experience could follow along and work out the movements, as I'm doing.- Brent Russell ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best - excellent copy! *by N***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2014* I wanted to drop as positive review as possible for Mr. Pittman's book - well done! First off, for English speakers, I have not been able to find any linear books/ texts with regard to Ba Gua. Secondly, Mr. Pittman's knowledge is as deep as they come (imho) and many will welcome this book in their permanent library. Such a unique find and a great bargain to boot!Thank you!Donald akanunh --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/11082463-walking-the-i-ching-the-linear-ba-gua-of-gao](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/11082463-walking-the-i-ching-the-linear-ba-gua-of-gao) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
