@MediumSizedCrane I studied under Gin Foon Mark, and we never went 1 1/2. It must have been a preference of Roger's. The stance is called Som Gok Ma, which means you should be able to shift on 3 points of an equilateral triangle at all times. "Chop" step is a RDH term. It's simply called hang ma horse walking, or specifically moi fa bu in toisan / mui fa bou in cantonese. Foot arcs will move in the shape of a plum blossom petal. The "chop" is 'Bik' which means to apply pressure or jam them.

@JookLumFist Developing the structure ( pull up sphincter, bellybutton to spine, rib cage over internal organs ) was much easier for me starting with the feet 1 1/2 times the width of the shoulders. The crotch is always vulnerable in a Southern Horse, that's what the Chop is for.

@MediumSizedCrane RDH always taught with the horse too wide. Don't worry about narrowing over time, just remember the correct way is shoulders width apart with 50/50 weight distribution. Any wider and you'll see how vulnerable the crotch becomes.

@JookLumFist I learned this footwork from R.D.H. He taught me that the horse begins a bit wide and over time it will narrow as structure develops. This is a subject we spent quite some time on because I had also been taught by a student of Henry Poo Yee. This video to me demonstrates exactly what Hagood was talking about. He would never show this publicly of course, or to a beginner student of the arts.

HOORAY!! more videos please.

Of course I won't object to Sifu doing his own work. The world needs more of his personal videos out. His video here demonstrates that most decendants around the states like Hagood etc, have too wide of a horse. As you can see, Sifu is at a natural width som gok ma at 50/50 as it should be. This posting made my day.
