depending on how you walk and carry yourself you could be weakening yourself instead of growing and becoming stronger.
most people with poor walking or posture habbits don't even realize.
learn about your body and your true center of gravity.

I like this man, I must listen to him talk for hours.

This is like the basic training of traditional Wu's Tai chi.

He reminds me to 'uncle Iroh' from avatar...=3

if u hav total stability(can withstand any force from 8 directions), total control & internal power over each step, then u r better than taiji masters & i would gladly come to study under you. but if u lean/wobble/fall, then u r bound by gravity, hav almost no stability, thus no control or real power. Such a movement can NOT be considered walking but rather a limited 'control falling'.
this is the reason why no judo/jujitsu moves work on a real taiji master

human body is a body. An idiot would move his arm by his arm & foot by the foot forgetin about his body thus creatin instability. The body should move as a body thus creatin stability+intrinsic power that is many times greater than any hard brute strength
Very useful to talk about this. Thank you.
Doesn't it mean that the foot must not leave the soil until it's not QUITE "empty"? And then afford again soil still quite empty before the weight comes progressively on it?
This is possible in almost all the mouvements in Wu, Yang and even Chen styles. With more exception in the latest.
Am I wrong?

The foot has to always be weightless (empty) as it leaves the ground otherwise you would fall over.
You are correct about the weight still being off the foot (quite empty) before the weight transfers over progressively.
