Gao Yisheng
Gao Yisheng (simplified Chinese: 高义盛; traditional Chinese: 高義盛; pinyin: Gāo Yìshèng) (1866–1951) was the creator of the Gao style of baguazhang. His life bridged the second generation and third generation of baguazhang practitioners into the 20th century. He was one of the few third generation baguazhang practitioners to live beyond the 1940s. His innovation and impact on baguazhang as a fighting art cannot be underestimated.
