Xingyi Quan (Body & Will Form) includes 22 movements. The creator of this form was Master Gou Yung Cheng. He developed Xingyi Quan while handcuffed & shackled in jail, over one hundred & fifty years ago. Because both his hands & feet were restrained, the movents in this form are all limited, large & streatched movments are not found in here for this reason.
Xingyi Quan is composed of five different basic punches refered to as Pi, Bong, Zhuan, Pao & Heng. In addition to the five punches, other movements practiced are cuts, straight blows, swings, thrusts & so on. The movements are simple, concise & effective.
