"There're three major martial skills which Master Gou Zhenya...

1) Baguazhang (Yin Yang Zhuan Huan Baguazhang) 


Great Master Dong Haichun. The founder of Baguazhang in 19C, China


 There're so many articles about him and his Baguazhang story on internet to find easy,  however you can refer him to start as here;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dong_Haichuan



The 2nd Gen. of Baguazhang, Master Liu 'Flying Saber Liu' Baozhen'

Master Liu Baozhen called a nick name as "Flying Saber Liu", originally he was a famouse mounted police officer in Gu'An county side in late 19c and before he met Grandmaster Dong, he was already good at another martial skill named 'Chuo Jiao*' - a kind of famouse martial art in North China area and so people called him like"Flying Legs Liu" at that time.

The 3rd Gen. of Baguazhang, Master Guo Meng Shen(Zhi Ping) caslled as 'Guo, Quick-Hands'

Regarding on 'Chuo-Jiao*' martial arts, refer to below (Sorry it's in Chines only);

...Hopefully, here I would like to introduce him as very simple like that, because I think it's not the proper thing to tell about every detail of his back ground as holding on a martial artist in his life, but just need to tell or show everyone who is interested in these kind of things as similar of documentary literlature or oral statements I saw and heard etc.     


"Master Guo Zhenya1) was born in 1945, Zhang village, Gu'An county. His father Guo Mengshen was also a famouse martial arts master and so started to learn all skills from his father in his early ages. In 1980, he awraded a gold medal at the Hebei wushu competition, Natai city; On late of May, also awarded a gold medal at the whole country wushu competition, Taiyuan city(Shanxi Province). In 1981, participated and awarded one gold and one silver medais at the Hebei wushu competition, Xushui city. One of his diciples, Niu Hongyan(female) awarded a gole medal at the whole country wushu competition and another gold medal at the Hebei wushu competition in 1982. Master Guo participated and awarded a gold medal at the whole country wushu competition, Xuzhou city in 1986 again. He wrote a book named 'Baguadao(Bagua broad sword)2)' and it was a bestseller incountry."
