Above you can see someone who practices TCMA's and understand the intended range for application. I think its extremely interesting that even northern longfist, which of all styles might seem the most long range centric, is still applied most effectively at extremely close range.

without the footwork and the horse, the long-arm techniques won’t make sense, and won’t work properly.

“precisely as practiced.”
