Xingyi Mixture Styles Boxing is a traditional routine formed on the basis of five-element boxing and twelve-style boxing. It has elaborate moves and skills, outstanding styles and features. In the old boxing pedigree, xingyi mixture styles boxing is regarded as “the union of styles and fists”, “united boxing”, and “soul of twelve-style boxing”. Xingyi quan is one of the three major “internal” Chinese martial arts. The other two are Taiji quan and Baguazhang. Xingyi quan translates approximately to “Form/Intention Boxing”, or “Shape/Will Boxing”, and is characterized by aggressive, seemingly linear movements and explosive power. Its origins are traceable to the 18th century and may go back even further. There is no single organizational body governing the teaching of the art, and several variant styles exist. A Xingyi quan fighter uses efficient coordinated movements to generate bursts of power intended to overwhelm the opponent, simultaneously attacking and defending. Forms vary from school to school, but include barehanded sequences and versions of the same sequences with a variety of weapons. These sequences are based upon the movements and fighting behavior of a variety of animals. The training methods allow the student to progress through increasing difficulty in form sequences, timing and fighting strategy. (For this item please quote stock ID 28850) ISBN: 6923342907780
