    I’m curious as to why all of the 5 element fists are not done as standing exercises? Has anyone ever heard BKF comment on that?

    Nope. IMO, all of the forms of the fists are designed and very deliberate. They have a symbolic language that indicates what you are supposed to be doing with the 16 part neigung. Said another way, they are designed to make what they want you to do easier and what they don’t want you to do more difficult. That said, my suggestion is to concentrate on the large forms that Liu Hung Chieh favored.
