Hsing Yi Chuan: Theory and Applications Book by Shou-Yu Liang & Jwing-Ming Yang
Hsing Yi Chuan is one of the best known Chinese internal martial arts. Hsing Yi means "Shape Mind," and Chuan means "Fist" or "Style." The name derives from the style's imitation of the movements and inner characteristics of twelve animals. The style was created by Marshal Yuh Fei, a famous general of the Song Dynasty.
The practice of Hsing Yi Chuan, like Tai Chi Chuan, improves Chi circulation in the body and maintains health. In addition, the training builds up an abundant level of internal Chi so that both the physical and the mental bodies can be strengthened.
This book presents the traditional Hsing Yi training, including two sequences with many of their applications, and the famous fighting set, Ann Shenn Pau. The most unique part of this book is the discussion of Hsing Yi theories and principles, drawn from many of the ancient poems and songs. Understanding these will greatly speed your training.
