Nice. it is said that "Fighting is Walking". Our core training method is called 'Walk with Weights". During this practice you walk and work 'same side' punches for about 4 years, then, when you have the capacity, you work 'crossing'. Internally, you begin with the 'foot press' to bring jin to the head of the fist. Later, with crossing, you work on feeling chi cycle throughout the body with each step.
