natural stepping is by far the most logical, how much have you practiced walking naturally in your life? what do you think you will use when under pressure or in a situation where you have to use it.

Yin shi Bagua uses lower stepping.

[IronPalm]

@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".

[mbutchin]

@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.

[IronPalm]

@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.

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

[excruciabilis]

Isn't that a type of Yin Style bagua?
