Xing Yi Kung Fu
Xingyi has about nearly 400 years of history. It¡¯s recorded that Ji Long fengwho lived in Yongji zun cun, Shanxi province,got<< the Theory of Fist>> written by Yue Fei who was a
national hero. He met with Yue Fei when Ji Long feng visited the great Kung Fu artists living in ZhongnanMountain in Shanxi province. Then Ji Long feng saw two cocks fight each other, from which he got the inspiration, and changed spear techniques into fist techniques, namely Xinyi six combination fist. XinYi Fistemphasizes on six combinations including three internal combinations and three external combinations. The three internal combinations is the combinations between heart and consciousness, consciousness and internal Qi, internal Qi and internal strength;the three external combinations are the combinations between hands and feet, elbows and knees; shoulders and hips. The combination means all the parts are like one part, meanwhile with the meaning ¡°move¡±, so it is also called ¡° Xin yi liu he quan(heart and consciousness six combination Fist)¡±.XingYi fist was developed from ¡°Xin Yi fist¡±. The creator is Li Ruo neng. Because Xing Yi fist studied our ancient significance of <<Yi Jing>> carefully on the basis of ¡°Yin Yang xiangsheng xiangke(contrary and dependent with each other)¡±, coordinating internal organs and points¡± with 12 kinds of animals¡¯ important techniques,like their physical forms, getting their spirits, getting their spirits through imitating their physical forms, like their physical forms for their spirits, forms turn along with the spirits, getting the spirits if the movements are like their forms, its essence is the combination of ¡°physical forms¡± and ¡°spirits or mind¡±, so it is called ¡°Xing Yi Fist¡±.
It is a very direct style designed to attack the opponent with explosive footwork and combined techniques of attack. One Xing Yi principle states that "on meeting the opponent, movement is like an exploding volcano". Xing Yi is suitable for students of all levels.
The 5 Elements fists are the fundamental fists of Xing Yi, and are based on the 5 elements in ancient Chinese philosophy- Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. They are also rich in the characteristics of yin and yang- opposing, mutual, declining and growing, turning and transforming.
The 5 elements are also, linked to respective organs of the body on Chinese medicine. Xing Yi principles state that practice of each fist can strengthen the respective organ of the body.
It can strengthen the body externally and internally, and develop the coordinated unity of the external body and the internal- qi, power and mind.
