    This seems like a Chinese version of the Orange March, with the mace holder proclaiming his allegance and 'skill' (glorified majorette perhaps?) to the glory of King William of Orange, as part of their ritualistic hedgemony and supremacy over the bog-trottin native Oirish Jacobite Catholics, in the grand old days of yore.

    Those Bagua dudes need to learn to play the flute mind you, and get at least one huge pot-bellied geezer blasting out a thundering drum beat, that King William would have been proud of - but hey, they are getting there. He could do with a bowler hat and an orange bib as well too.

    I cant speak for N. Ireland, but in Scotland this kind of ritual is usually accompanied by copious ammounts of Buckfast wine.

    Of course its entirely possible that the Orangemen are all also Bagua 'Masters', through an ancient masonic ritual etc.

    If Capoeira is the ancestor of break-dancing, then clearly we have found the ancestor of raving.

    Oh man - top one! Imagine him doing that with a giant orange and green glow stick in a Blackburn warehouse rave! Wicked! That'd be 'Bagu-e', though, rather than bagua!
