Synopsis
Xingyiquan is one of the most popular Chinese internal martial arts. This book offers insights that students can use to deepen their understanding and practice of Xingyiquan. The authors demonstrate a variety of Xingyi forms and their martial applications. The practice of Xingyiquan, like Taijiquan, improves Qi circulation around the body and maintains health. In addition, the training builds up an abundant level of internal Qi so that both the phsyical and mental bodies can be strengthened.
Customer Reviews
A cracking book.
Xing Yi Quan is such a difficult system to try and put down on paper, but YJM manages to do so pretty well.
There was I believe a first edition that had the terminology in Catonese. I would have loved to get that one, but this is still a clear and accurate explaination of much of the basic theories of this somewhat esoterical art.
