I trained under the former's system with emphasis being placed on the toes coming down and push forward while stimulating the K1 point. I no longer walk like that as I place the entire foot flat on the ground without sliding the foot forward. I suppose moving from dirt to concrete is what caused this change in my stepping.

1. Rolling step. Smooth transition from heel to toe.
2. Mud walking (tang ni bu). Sliding motion.
3. Crane (step up high & land flat). Less popular than the first two.
There are several variations for 2 & 3 depending on how to finish each step.
