This also reverses flow down the 'Du' meridian and brings power back to the Dantian with force, which if you don't have a well developed Dantian it will cause some internal problems, hence the requirement of 3 years of standing practice before you start any training. The creation of Xingyiquan came from the desire and need to have an art that one can practice immediately so they took only the techniques from Xin Yi that use the torso methods of 'Bo Lang Jin' (Crushing Wave Power) where the power comes from the Dantian and follows the normal flow up the 'Du' meridian to power the strikes, this way the practice of learning to power strikes and developing the Dantian through standing practices could be done simultaneously and take the new student to a high level of skill in a shorter amount of time.

can someone tell me what the difference is between the basic leg-torso mechanics shown here and those of xinyi? to me they look and feel the same, in xinyi we also train to pull the whole body together into the contracted position so both directions are active rather than passively dropping down and actively exploding up, but otherwise I don't see what's different..
