V impressive vid from M Yao Andrzej. Just out of curiosity - does Yiquan have long spear (daqiang / da ganzi) training as well? Is it viewed as separate to this staff (gun) training? Looks like the staff-work has fully incorporated Yiquan-style footwork?

Actually the bigger/longer pole is used for serious jibengong training. Those shorter are more often seen because of convenience (space limitation, transportation problems), but also for fighting training.
