Thank you a lot for explanation, coming from Yin lineages, I'd say small postures with sharper power also has its own difficulties, it's harder to know how to do the body mechanics compared to longer postures 😅
Yes, I'm familiar with the Liu Dekuan 64. It's not really related to the Gao Yisheng 64, more parallel developments. The 8x8 are organised quite differently between the systems. Compiling linear forms to complement circle forms happened quite a lot around the third generation of Bagua. There can be some confusion because one the main contemporary proponents of Liu Dekuan Bagua is Gao Jiwu. Though the name Gao is the same, it's nothing to do with the Gao Yisheng system.

Are you famillar with Liu Dekuan's Linear Bagua form? I know Gao style has a version of the form. I learned a version from Cao Fengqi.
