Paperback. Hsing-I Chuan (alternatively romanized as Xing Yi Quan is classified as one of the internal styles of Chinese martial arts.The name of the art translates approximately to "Form-Intention Fist", or "Shape-Will Fist". Hsing-I Chuan is characterized by aggressive, seemingly linear movements and explosive power that's most often applied from a short range. A practitioner of Hsing-I uses coordinated movements to generate bursts of power intended to overwhelm the opponent, simultaneously attacking and defending. Methods vary from school to school, but always include bare-handed fighting training (mostly in single movements/combinations and sometimes in forms) and the training of weapons usage with similar or identical body mechanics to that used for bare-handed intense fighting. The most basic notions of movement and body mechanics in the art were heavily influenced by the practice of staves and spears. First Edition (1983); Second Printing (1991).
