Could you clarify your difference between "breaking and entering" and "open and sneak in" as it pretains to BTSH. If I understand you correctly, this designate how the heart is stolen, yes? Pershaps, Bei Tang Lang's description of a 'blockless' series be the 'open and sneak in' and the left hand suspending the opponent's left arm to strike the other.
I am familiar with this technique, however from what I'm reading hear it seems the essence of BTSH lies in it striking the heart meridian and the employment of either soft method 2 "If Attacked, Then Reach The Opponent First," 10 "Deflect An Attack Upward Then Attack" or 11 "Open The Opponents Inside Gates Then Attack Close Inside."
