Let's talk about how to practice Xingyiquan. Step one, stand on the pile. Usually practice more round piles and occasionally practice three-body pile method. A year later, you will begin to practice the basic boxing five elements boxing and the Twelve Shapes Boxing. When you feel that your basic boxing is good, you can start practicing Xingyiquan routines. But if you want to practice powerful methods, then the basic boxing must be practiced every day.
Let's talk about Bagua Palm again. Different from Xingyiquan, Baguazhang doesn't have to stand on a static pile. Its pile method is moving pile (eight diagrams mud step), but it is enough to practice three postures. Mud step is the foundation of Bagua Palm. Mud step is steady and flexible, and your playing style of Bagua Palm is certainly flexible. Try to practice the basic eight palms when taking the mud step, which is conducive to the patency of the body's meridians, and practice the eight palms well.
Long-term practice of internal boxing will make you stronger. If you only practice occasionally, don't practice at all, because it doesn't work. If you want to be stronger, you need to practice boxing for at least three years.
