Bagua vs. Aikido

"The Four Basic Principles
1. Keep One Point to Develop Calmness
2. Relax Progressively
3. Find the Correct Posture in Everything
4. Develop your Positive Mind
by Shuji Maruyama Sensei"

Interesting.
Sounds like
1. Sink the Qi to the Dantien
2. Sung
3. Six Harmonies
4. Unify the Yi, Qi and Li

I don't know if it's rumour or speculation, but I do remember reading somewhere that Ueshiba Sensei may have been exposed to BaGua when he was in China. I tend to think of it more like convergent evolution.
