My company gives every employee a holiday present, and this was mine - a 56-inch-long ba gua dao.

PS4 controller for scale.

I started learning ba gua a few months ago, after several years of xing yi. I don't know the saber form to it yet, but when my Sifu thinks I'm ready to learn, I'll be well-equipped!

My 6'1" frame and wtf-is-my-life face for scale. Forgive the mirror selfie -- there's really no other way to convey the size of this thing.

I wish my boss would give me a freakin sword for Christmas!!!

I feel like if anybody is doing the killing, it’ll probably be @OP.

Fun fact: last year another coworker got a pretty legit katana as their gift. Clearly this is a tradition we need to keep going!
