A big book. Many photographs show
this famous and powerful branch of "Xing Yi" Shape
of the Mind Boxing. This one shows, among other things, the
Xin Yi fundamental form, then Hui Yi Boxing, then Five Elements
Fist, Five Shoulder Strikes, Seven Canons and more. The art
of Xin Yi generally appears more "organic" than
so many practitioners of Xing Yi who strike stiff poses. Xin
Yi power is loose but definitely present. Postures are distinct
with much waist turning and a particular "animal"
quality especially considering their interpretation of the
Ten Animals. A very comprehensive text. |
