Bob wrote:Not sure if this is the half step/follow up being discussed but the Yang Style (as differentiated from Yang lineages) I practice uses what here is termed half step but leads the movement along with the proper alignment with the waist. You can see it in the movements in the clip below (32 posture of Yang style taijiquan taught by Liu Yunqiao):

This is the bit with Brush Knee I was describing in the podcast:

In our version quite a lot of the "follow steps" are not done on power delivery, but on the move before the power delivery. As you can see the "push" bit of the Brush knee is delivered in a bow stance, but there's a "feet together" bit before it.
That just probably makes everything more confusing, I know

As the waist turns to the left after ward off right the left foot comes to center. As the waist turns to the right the right foot steps out into the bow stance.
You can see Cheng man ching do something similar in his push hands demo films right before he launches his students.

This is probably the clearest and most obvious example, in slow motion no less. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSYPOhSgiis&t=70s

Two person dance by Jonathan Russell
It is as I said San shou,Ta Lu and various pushing exercises
I learnt to do San shou in a way that if the partner does not do a move correctly you go into Ta Lu or pushing and come back to the form in the same place it broke down
