It's easy to get good results when you scale down a image, but scaling up from a small images will not give you more details no matter how hard you try, the information simply isn't there.
Large frame is also needed to stretch out and balance the musculature, correct postures, maintain health and strengthen the body.
I'm all for practicing and conditioning in large frame, and apply/fight in small frame.
So train both.

So you believe that you can only use small frame in fighting? Or do you mean that most Yang stylists can not fight?

Yang has large, medium and small frame, the fact that people only practice one generally is down to poor teaching or lack of knowledge
