The Ji Bu ZHuang i know is much like this:
only a little more twisted up and the left hand in that picture is instead down by the waist (there is a picture of lu song gao doing it somewhere, it was part of the same series as this picture). at any rate it appears mightily different to San Ti in my opinion - unless im confused and you are talking of a different ji bu zhuang.
Kris:
We have this teaching of alignments between movements and organs, and the five basic movements that line up with the 5 organs are the movements i practice most (they are single palm, bear swings arms, cat washes face, chicken walk and big chop). Im not sure which lines of practice this training comes from, but my late grandteacher who was a student of Lu Songgao talked of it in some detail, and he has also mentioned it in some of his writings.
