What do you think the purpose of the training is? What's the combat usage?
If you
- lift up your foot and land it back down, your opponent can only sweep your leg when your foot is landing.
- use Bagua mud step, your opponent can sweep your leg anytime he wants to.
Why do you want to give your opponent such advantage?

1. Bagu mud step.
2. Each step is a kick and each kick is a step.
IMO, 2 > 1.
If all your steps are just to land on your opponent's knee joint, you don't need mud step.

Ideally, more like 2 = 1

Unless you use mud step to shin bite on your opponent's ankle, otherwise 2 combines offense and defense in one, and 1 is defense only.

Yes so it is. But I don't know if it's very sad. For many teachers of old Chinese Tradition it's perfectly natural that you learn from actually doing something instead of thinking about it. Explaining seems pointless if you don't already know how to do. First doing and understanding from practical experience. Talking comes later. Western people often value thinking more than to be able to do, which might seem strange in Chinese teaching tradition.oragami_itto wrote:, it all just sort of fell together naturally and I was able to stay upright and mobile.
Makes perfect sense.
