"Bagua" translates to eight symbols. In Taoist cosmology, it represents the principles of reality. These principles are heaven/sky, lake/marsh, fire, thunder, wind, water, mountain, and earth.
Bagua is a symbolic arrangement of eight trigrams used in Taoist cosmology to represent fundamental principles of reality. It is also used in Feng Shui to understand the energy flow in a space and for divination purposes. Each trigram is associated with a specific element, direction, and aspect of life.
I would suggest you ask your instructor for their opinion as they will have a better feel for your ability and the demands or your specific style. Personally I would not recommend it. I find it far to easy to mix up my foot work. The foot work is critical enough that without it you bagua will not work. Furthermore since your practice time is limited (at least mine is) I can get good at bagua or so-so at bagua and so-so at the additional martial art. Since I can only use one at time I'd personally rather be good at bagua.
