Yi Quan as I learned it emphasizes speed quite a lot. A lot of foot work, similar to boxing, and punching training with a focus on retreating (as if punching a hot plate). But styles are styles and people are people. What one does with the style is one´s own responsibility.

Yiquan practices "mocabu" (friction step), which is said to have been created from baguazhang influence, but baguazhang does not usually practice stepping in a zig-zag way that much as is the standard mocabu method. But mocabu is kind of like xingyiquan stepping, but mainly zig-zag.
