Simply put, if you are going to move in with your entire weight then these postures are useful, otherwise they aren't. This is my experience.

"Are they really making anything that much different compared to other old styles? Maybe not. Kung fu, after all, is just two hands, two feet and the body.
That's it. Different styles specialize on different techniques and usually these people don't pick them up.
They don't know how to use them. For example, tongbei is different than regular kung fu. It's the way they use the power, the way they deliver momentum and striking force.
That's what makes it outstanding. I don't say that these new styles are bad kung fu or anything like that. I always say 'Whatever you do, I don't want. Whatever I do and you don't know - that's how we win.

Someone with basic exposures to the postures can already start at 60-70% of body alignment, and only details of arm and finger coordinations need to be taught.
Also reverse bow stance (elevation control), reverse riding stances (Parthian shot) are all important archery postures for infantry and mounted archery. Don't knock it til you've tried it.
Yes so some stories go.... That Xing Yi comes from spear fighting is no surprise to anybody here. Or shouldn’t be.

The oral history is that it was when the losing Ming army was disbanded and returned to civilian life, their weapons taken away.
