Xing Yi Quan: A Study of Tai and Tuo Xing (1)

Xing Yi Quan, or 'Character Intention Boxing' is the oldest of all of the known internal martial arts that are still in existence today, with a historically traceable lineage.

Its techniques and strategies were developed and polished on the battlefields of China during the feudal era, from the Sung Dynasty (960-1279) onwards and are said to have descended from the famous armies of Marshal Yue Fei. This new book on Xing Yi takes an in-depth look at the advanced fighting strategies of Tai (Flycatcher) and Tuo (Crocodile) Xing which were added to the art by Master Li Neng Ran.

It covers the history, fighting methods and auxiliary concepts which are rarely presented in books on Xing Yi and also contains over 500 photographs showing both the applications and potential linking sequences for both Tai and Tuo Xing. This is a must have book for any Xing Yi practitioner.
