this part reeks of bs:
"TT: Will bagua quan help win fights?
HJH: Use the training methods in a fight and you will lose. But they will prepare you for a fight.
TT: Have you had a fight?
HJH: Not a real fight.
TT: So how do you know it works?
HJH: Our ancestors have already proved that.
TT: But suppose you did have a fight, wouldn't it prove something?
HJH: Any kind of proof is fake. If you find someone to fight, in the ring, for instance, it's not a real fight. It's not true. Fighting is actually about life and death."

At least he's being honest. But I wouldn't go to learn from him. The last line I quoted really bugs me though, martial arts is fluid not some static religious law that was set down by some founder without room for change.
