DVD Reviews of Xingyi Quan 5 Element Fists Xing Yi Hsing-i

DVD Review: Instructive focus
Summary: 5 Stars

This is probably the best martial arts DVD I've come across for instructional purposes. Nothing beats an instructor, but this would be the next best thing. There is a lot of material for beginners explained very well and in great detail. While there is a fair amount of demonstration that isn't the point of the DVD. I think the mix of lecture, instruction and demonstration is very well chosen for an instructional DVD.

If you are a complete cold-start beginner then look casually at the Applications section first so you can get some idea of what Xing Yi looks like in practice - that will make the drills much more meaningful. But learning an internal art without an instructor is going to be a real challenge.

Three things to note. This is Hebei style Xing Yi. In case it isn't obvious, the creation/destruction diagram on the menu page contains the five fists menu items within it - move the pointer right. Use your DVD's Audio button to get English voice overs.

Description of Xingyi Quan 5 Element Fists Xing Yi Hsing-i

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 artist's 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 mind's intent which is developed later. However, as you become proficient your mind's intent will respond more quickly. As your mind and movements become coordinated, your response to an attack will become second nature. - Sifu Liu Xiaoling
