Yes I agree mostly, I would add it can also depend on the space area to an degree. I have an long but quite narrow kitchen. In mornings when I prepare the breakfast I sneak in some taiji(or/and Xingyiquan) practice a little here and there. Foot/leg work will adjust a little to the space...as an poor examplecharles wrote:yeniseri wrote:Interesting that 83shitaijiquan is in a high stance as opposed to current Chenjiagoutaijiquan frame.

Chen Taijiquan can, and is, practiced in high, medium and low stances. Which height stance to use depends upon one's age, one's conditioning/strength and on what one wants to train that day. What the public most often sees in demonstrations and competitions is lower stances: it looks more athletic and more "martial". However, that is only one component of training. The same is true of fa jin (boa fa li): demonstrations and competitions often focus on it to look more athletic and martial. It, too, is only one component of training and its performance and frequency also depends on one's age, one's strength and what one wants to train that day.
Recent performances/demonstrations by The Big Four of Chenjiagou, for example, typically are done is higher stances and without a lot of fa jin.
Chen Fake was born in Chenjiagou and lived there for over 40 years so this is representative of Chenjiagou taiji
