He is doing it barefoot which doesn't demonstrate anything. Do it with shoes in sticky mud. Then you will see that using normal toe to heel walking will result in you leaving your shoe behind in the mud.
It is necessary to drink alcohol and pursue other fun human activities. The art (i.e. karate) of someone who is too serious has no "flavour."

Why would I want to walk through the mud with my shoes? They get dirty. 
I know that normal toe to heel walking does not work in the mud. I just want to test the effectiveness of the baguazhang step.
Thanks for your comment.

Serous subject. Important to step through empty. Very helpful as a moving meditation and for building balance. For more on circle walking:
