I am learning Yang Xiao Jia, The training began with "13 jin" and the 8 direction of the compass, There we a few essential movements from the long form, and now I am learning a very difficult and detailed Jin with most pivoting on the balls of my feet, and small stepping that is also detailed and much of it is go behind an opponent's leg in many diferent ways, and in very close quarters with various jin included. Dr. Yang refers to this as the 8 gates, I think.
When is the 5 element stepping taught in TJ?
Anyone learned this set of movements in at large frame or medium frame?
What is your experience with this set?
