I am not familiar with your particular style of bagua, but I must say that I definitely like two things in particular: First, you work the tangnibu. Many are too lazy to step properly, so it's nice to see. Second, I like that you turn far enough to face back to the center of your circle when you change directions. So many do not work on the flexibility to properly turn.
@mbutchin - Tangnibu is not the "correct" method of stepping; it is simply "one" method of stepping. The natural step is the most efficient way to express the body's mass with momentum.
@IronPalm Fair enough; However, isn't tangnibu the basic step everyone starts with? It's a basic skill of Cheng style, and I see very little of it practiced.
@mbutchin - It really depends on the style of Bagua as well as the teacher which step will be studied first. Yin style does mostly Natural stepping; Cheng may very well start with TangNiBu - I haven't really done much in that other than just a cursory examination of the form. Dr. John Painter is adamant about using the Natural/Rolling/Strolling Immortal Step as the primary method, and other steps are "special purpose".
nice

Yin shi Bagua uses lower stepping.

This is not Yin Style. Yin Style uses natural stepping, and a smaller circle.
