Xing yi is a very simple and freeflowing style as an unarmed combat art. But, did you know that it was originally invented as an armed style? I have been playing around with using single and double knives in Xing yi fighting techqniues. In this video iam playing around with some double-knife tactics. The more angles you look at your art in, the more complete and versatile it can become.

  • I saw your response to Scotbaioisdead's post on bobby joe blythe...i thought I'd check out your channel. I am impressed...I have trained in Pa Kua for about 6 years, learned the Yang style short form and have learned the Five Elements of Hsing-I..I have to say, I have never, ever seen Hsing-I done with the knives!! I like it. Did you teach yourself to use the knives w/Hsing-I or were you taught? whoever rated you low is ignorant..I give you 5 stars

  • i have a very OPEN and philosphical and analytical approach to martial arts. So, i taught myself, yes, iam also a teacher. Im uploading a new video now, check out my other stuff. I salute you kung fu brother!!! keep training, and thank you so much for the positive feedback

  • My personal reserch of XY is that it evolved form the spear. I dont know how much of the Generale Yue Fe legende is true to XY but i do see the spear movements in the element form set . Becareful in converting one weapon set into an other .The principle conceptes should always stay true but pay close attention to the actual weapon system. The weapon will demand at times its own set of foot work , ranges , angulation, and etc. Pluse each weapon system has it own weakness .

  • very true, but, i made the video simple to prove that point.....advanced things come from simple ideas

see all

  • Cool, to all the naysayers, how do you think new forms and weapons techniques were invented. Half the chinese double knife forms out there are basically an empty hand form someone decided to use knives with. lol!

  • I mention this because i used to experiment those concepts my self ... just like your doing. In my own experince when trianing with friends i would get good "cuts/strikes" only to receive counter hits that were "lethal" . Hense i would win, than to only die later . Theres a resaon why Philipinos/Indoniseans do {out to the side slashing attacks.} Always examine your rymes and reasons.

    Keep up the work

    and train well.
