On the issue of BaJiQuan and your trying to learn all these different styles of the art. My comments are:

1. It might take you one year of practicing the same things to even grasp the introductory lesson of one of those styles.

2. Find one teacher you like and stick with him to learn the technique.

3. Better to know one style very well than many styles not so well.

4. The teachings of these styles takes much time -- do not hop around so much. You can "see" the techniques dozens of times but you have to practice them hundreds of times before you learn them.

5. In general, at least in the US there are very very few teachers of these styles, and not many of them advertise it. I have been to China only once, but they seem to advertise less over there.
