Quote:”There are many paths to cultivation of the body, but if you are seeking one that is simple and suitable for all ages, there is none like Xingyi (hsing-i) boxing, because this art specifically takes qi (chi) cultivation as its foundation.

Hsing-i’s Five Elements are in effective the five energies that, according to Taoist cosmology, comprise the energy matrix of the universe. These five elements are essential for the balance of the body’s internal organs according to traditional Chinese medicine theory.
Quote:”There are many paths to cultivation of the body, but if you are seeking one that is simple and suitable for all ages, there is none like Xingyi (hsing-i) boxing, because this art specifically takes qi (chi) cultivation as its foundation. The five postures of Splitting and Smashing, Drilling and Pounding correspond to metals, wood, fire and earth. They are then divided into five external positions. Internally they fill the five organs and are the natural, profound way to health.”Sheng Jin, Forward to The Xingyi Boxing Manual [year 1923]Each of the five Hsingi Elements uses a hand technique to move power along a certain force vector.
Each individual Hsing-i Five-Element technique or fist has a slightly different way in which it is done: high (to the opponent’s heart or above), middle (between the heart and the lower tantien), and low (to the opponent’s hips, groin or legs).
Hsing-i’s system is based on the storage of enormous amounts of chi in the lower Tanien and then allowing it spread throughout the body to use at will. It is one of the best ways to make your body healthy and strong in China.
