Product Description
Xing yi quan is one of the major internal (neijia) Chinese martial arts. Xing yi quan translates approximately to Shape/Mind Boxing, and is characterized by seemingly simple movements and explosive power. The 5 Element Fists (wu xing or 5 xing) are the foundation for building speed, Power, breathing, and stamina. The practice of these 5 exercises is designed to develop a martial artists skill and understanding of Chinese Kung Fu.Master Liu Xioaling is a highly skilled and respected teacher of Xingyiquan, and is well known in his native China for his skill and excellent instruction in this traditional Chinese art.
The DVD is broken up by each of the 5 elements with English subtitles and English voiceover. (Pi, Zuan, Beng, Pao, and Heng.) each one has a submenu containing these categories: Introduction; Front view; Legwork/stepping Hand details; Dantian movement/Breathing; Line Drill w/Variations. There is also a SanTi standing section that contains similar details plus theory.In the applications section there is a submenu for each of the 5 Fists they include many strikes, parry, and takedowns. There is one particular take down towards the end involving Heng Quan or crossing countering a kick that is really effective.
We have previews of this video on youtube. Do a search for Xingyi DVD and watch the trailer.
Xing means the shape and it comes first. Yi means the minds intent which is developed later. However, as you become proficient your minds intent will respond more quickly. As your mind and movements become coordinated, your response to an attack will become second nature.
- Sifu Liu Xiaoling
