A friend has been encouraging me to learn tu na si ba lately. I'm meeting with a teacher who knows this for one on one lessons next week.
Does anyone here have experience with this and what did you find?

It's just a method for focusing on one particular aspect of training. The Li Gui Chang method above that Bisio is teaching is shown in direct relation to xing yi practice, in particular san ti and pi quan.

Actually the 4 tu na contain all five of the elements of xing yi in them. They also have their origin in yi jin ching, marrow washing and taijiquan theory. Nothing that isn't in other systems though. Just laid out in a plain, no frills set of exercises.
