Xing Yi Quan ( Hsing-I, 河北形意拳 ) 5 Elements and Linking form

There can't be pure internal,without external,unless your talking Daoism being "internal" from China,compared to Chan Buddhism,which is has roots from India.Chan Buddhist Monk "Chee-Shin",one of the "Five Elders" of Shaolin,is described in Chinese texts as "a man of Dao",

Completely internal
i'm gonna learn it

On the other hand, Xingyiquan was used as recently as the Sino-Japanese War in the thirties and forties (a simplified version mind you) that was taught to the soldiers because of the simplicity and effectiveness. And Czechfootballer, stfu about karate please. Pisses me off when people try to glorify their stuff then demean everyone else's arts.

Wow, I am an Okinawan stylist, and this reminds me very much of passai dai.

old people around 60s learning this or wing chaun can be up a buff guy in fighting....only if that buff guy didnt hit the old man...once he did old man lost (bones too weak) but if a man that is 50 and 40s....buff guy can just save his breath...no way in hell they would win unless tht buff guy learn something better which i doubt it.... i bet most buff guy fight in boxin style which is the worst fighting techinique in the world though im not saying it sucks but compare to all figting tech. sucks

One thing to remember about Hsing-I, is the fact that it also builds iron body. I know people who are 60+ years old, and hitting them is like hitting a tree. Happened a few times in sparring with empty hand techniques in kali that I was teaching them, and they were sharing their Hsing-I with me. You NEVER want to be hit by someone who knows Hsing-I. Makes even the most powerful Western boxer seem weak by comparison.

素晴らしい功夫

greatest xing yi video!!!

This is certainly one great video I see on Xing Yi, too bad the ending was clipped off.
