In the late 1800s, Dong Hai Chuan began teaching Bagua Zhang to a very select group of individuals.
The highly-notable Xing-Yi stylist Liu De Kuan was among those who learned this special art from Dong.
Liu was a very friendly martial artist who had also learned T'ai chi ch'uan from Yang Luchan.
Liu's friendly nature and experience with the three "internal" martial arts created an easy forum for discussion and knowledge-sharing between practitioners of these arts.
In 1894, an alliance was created with Cheng Tinghua taking the lead and representing Bagua Zhang;
Li Cun Yi and Liu Wei Xiang represented Xingyiquan;
and although Liu De Kuan practiced all three arts, he represented T'ai chi ch'uan.
The alliance grouped the three arts under the umbrella of "Neijia," and swore brotherhood among its associates and practitioners.
