oH, YOUR A WISE ASS, cool deal, I can be to, Im irish, it comes with the nationality.
as vfar as forms, heres the thing that i liked so much about xingyi, the forms of animals, are only the mind of that animal, and like one movement with many variations, and its not a particular move for a particular strike, its more of an attitude.
as far as your idea of environment, i agree, but it can also be used as an advantage in a different environment also.
take harimau silat, coming from sumatra, where its rains often, is muddy, etc, they focus alot on ground work, they strat at times, down on one knee. i have used this in the street, one of the ego bar fights i was in, the guy was way bigger, and stronger, we went out back, he squared off, and i went down on one knee, well he laughed, then tried to kick, which i then got his support lrg, and he was down, and i did my thing. from that position, all he can do is punch down, or kick, both of which leave him vulnerable.
as for your job, well then it makes sense why you think the way you do,most of my bouncer buddies train some sort of aikido, jiu jitsu, using standing holds in the bar, etc.
if you really are a fanatic with ima, i highly suggest you meet master qian, or li tailiang, master qian will let everyone at the seminar attack him, he drooped a few grapplers at the last seminar, i didnt go, but a few friends were there.
as far as li tailiang, he's my shifu, so i am biased, but i have never met anyone so powerful in mky life. the explosive dantien of dai style, is second to none, when it comes to power generation, and the so called fajin.
bro, in your last post i can see you do seem like a cool dude, so i wish you well, and if you are open, catch a seminar from the two i just mentioned, you will undeerstand where my opinion comes from.
and with me training 14 years, of which like 9 were external arts, i have a long way to go, so i do teach my system, so people can defend themselves, but if i had trai8ned xingyi with one of the masters mentioned, i feel that i would have been better off, but theres no access in this country, so we do what we have to,
there are a few articles on dai style on my site, if you have any interest.
also as far as grappling, i was highly impressed with my friend gokor chivichyan, if you have never trained with him, i recommend him bigtime.
peace.
