Ma Gui (also known as Ma Shiqing) (Chinese: 马贵; pinyin: Má Guì) (1847–1941[1] or 1851–1941[2]) was an accomplished master of the internal Chinese martial art of Baguazhang, and was the first disciple of Yin Fu, who in turn was the first disciple of Baguazhang's founder Dong Haichuan. Various lines of Baguazhang claiming lineage to Ma Gui (but comprising different material) are still actively taught in China as well as in Japan, North America, and Europe.[3][4][5][6]
