Whatever made Yang style (mainly) less than martial is a telling tale based on the many jibengong of his brothers and they both had varying ways of conditioning.
It seems that main students of Yang Luchan (Wang Lanting and Li RUidong stated to be on a 'higher" plane of skill) had varying modes of that training based on what their main art was in their youth, allowed for better (read more disciplined training) than that of Yang Chengfu. I am not sure of the content but each group developed that current pattern based on their 'native' training and was able to transmit through association of their 'new" improved style.
My references are as follows:
1. Wang Lanting/Li Ruidong
2. Li Zheng
3. Students of Yang who developed x sets that are stated to teach more martial skill.
