The learning process can be divided into six steps;

2. Fixed Steps Walking (Single and Double Changing Palms)
3. Fixed Steps Eight Palms
4. Free Steps Eight Palms

These six steps are especially important for beginners. If you have practised Xingyi with proper San Ti training, the process is faster. As Sun style arts emphasises the concept of "major weight", especially on the hind legs,  the practice is essential to ensure that the lower body moves smoothly.
