Maybe because mud step is not primary an combat technique, but more an leg/feet awareness practice ?
- What do you mean "leg/feet awareness"?
- What does awareness mean?
- How can you walk if you don't feel where your legs and feet are?
I'm not very good at "abstract' discussion.
Yeah well “awareness” might be the wrong/incomplete wording, there are more details to its practice, details that makes it an “internal” MA practice......As this is a IMA’s forum so what makes IMA’s practice an IMA’s practice has been mentioned many times in threads here, so I won’t elaborate further....The Liu WanFu quote in Windwalkers post tells that of the internal martial arts practice what’s meets the inexperienced(in IMA practice)onlookers eyes is mostly what is not to be seen...sort of...So when you see Bagua mud step, you see it as an combat technique, when it’s not.
