Awesome. I practice I-Chuan almost daily for some time, this led to a full body connectedness and increase it what is called pung (bouncy) energy. It grew gradually and continues to grow. I have taken internal martial arts but never was taught and stomping techniques. I started trying to mimick some of the excellent videos like this one on the youtube and low and behold the power reveberates upwards propelling my arm. Its as if one is full of air. Its quite amazing.
Finally, an example on the web of some authentic Xing Yi Chuan. Students should watch this video carefully.
I learned Hebei style from a tradtional teacher from Shanghai and this looks like a similar variety.
The stomps are not necessarily hard force stomps. They are an element of good fa jing. With time and practice, they become quieter and the power more subtle as the transition from wu ji to tai ji smoothens.
did learn a little from him... he is the real deal... would come to class with his micro orbit open sometimes... he knew herbs, meditation, martial, accupoints massage, etc... was one of the ones you dream about. The stoms are not intentional... they happen like a lightning bolt making contact with the ground... body soft to make a circuit... all of a sudden unity earth heaven and fist with whole body... watch it again and understand this. He is a beautiful person to boot
the stomping is to insure that on the very moment the strike connects the opponent. the energy in the fist is actualy from the ground. a strike like this is as if the opponent was hit not by the fist but by the earth itself,difficult to imagine but totally true
to use more western ideas of physics, stomping doesn't deliver energy from the ground as much as a boxer's cross. The cross uses your leg muscles to push down and back against the ground, which pushes back (up and forward) and you conduct that energy with your body into your fist.
stomping is different in that you're not so much pushing against the ground as you are setting up the potential (a hardy stance) to do so while advancing. In other words, you're rooting yourself fast and moving forward. This allows you to use your a good deal of body weight in the move without leaning too much and losing your connection with the ground.
in american kenpo, ed parker called it marriage of gravity i believe. your fist and your advancing foot should reach their destination at the same time. punching with your foot off the ground is weak and unstable (has no base/root) and so are you. so you put your foot on the ground.
Good eye there. In tai chi and the other internal arts it's called "observing the three external harmonies," -- the hands move with the feet, the knees with the elbows, and the hips with the shoulders. Many styles of kung fu have the same principle too.

It is a rooting drill to re-coil the energy from the groud through your legs to your fist.
