dumb question about "Beng"

Greetings all, - when applying Beng........does the fist land at the same time as the leading foot or does it land at the same time as the follow step
The rythym of these is totally different and obviously I don't have it yet.
thx
joe beginner

with follow

thanks a bunch guys.....I've been doing it wrong and having tried it the other way I can immediately feel the power

with the leading foot. (primarily)

Different styles, different ways of doing things.

Some will stress the front foot, others the rear ... others a "double impact".

You pays your money ... you learns that, after a while anyway, the question of co-ordination is actually less of an issue that how the power is being generated within the body (expansion etc.) Then you can make it work in all sorts of different ways. As regards the form though (as much as such things are set) ... it varries

When Applying Beng Chuan, The Front Foot Moves Foward,initially.
Upon Impact With Your Target The Waist Turns Slightly And The Rear Foot Follows With A Stomping Motion.

In the Tienjin Hebei style that I practice impact happens when the front foot lands. This is of course assuming that the front foot lands ball of the foot first to generate stopping force.

either or ... dependant on circumstance and stepping method.

In my style the 'fixed step' basic form practice is to co-ordinate with the front foot. but this is just form. The principle and body method are not dependant on stepping.

As we do it, we put equal amount of force in both hands and in the stomp when the foot land. This principle is used in all 5 fists. In Beng, it is in the rear foot. If you do like this, putting an equal amount of force in hand - hand - foot, then you will have 3 directions of force: back, forth and downwards. This will really teach whole body power. But it is ok to experiment with stance etc.
