okay my first deals with bai gua i told my friend when you walk the circle you have to use kou pu and pai pu stepping he thinks you just walk in a circle who’s right me or him? second any body know of any xing yi schools in new york.
Koubu/Baibu stepping wouldn’t move you along the circle, you’d keep turning back upon your line of advance. These inward and outward steps are about changing the circle. They are simply extreme versions of the same hip opening and closing that you sue to create the circle’s arc.
Different styles and different circle sizes show many variations, but in general the foot skims the other instep and shoots forward, then the leg is rotated at the hip to match the arc of the circle before the foot grips the ground.

If you live near Corona, Li Tai Liang teaches there.
At William C.C. Chen’s School Hsing-i is offered.
Blacktaoist teaches somewhere up there, and he does Yin Pakua and I think Hsing-i too.
One of the posters on this forum called “Bak Mei” studies Hsing i and Pakua in Chinatown. Apparently his teacher is really good also.
I don’t get mad.
I get stabby.
Damn fine description, Kevin. I’ve been failing to say something that succinct for years 
Cheers Dedalus, and many thanks.
