	CTMAA: Hsing Yi (Page 1)
		Since Hsing Yi movements are relatively simple from outlook, if one does not know the correct alignment of body structure and does not execute the movements in an integrated manner (most practitioners thought they do but they actually don't), it does look like an external style.
		Thus, the strategy of Hsing Yi in combat is to form a solid, stable, and spring-like body structure and drive this structure directly and forcefully toward the center of the opponent.
		This movement, which is the first movement in many Hsing Yi demonstration forms, is often confused with the splitting fist which is the first one in the five-element fists.

	What are the different Arts, Schools and Styles? Part 1 of 2
		Hsing Yi Ch'uan is one of the three orthodox "internal" styles of Chinese martial art (the other two being T'ai Chi Ch'uan and Pa Kua Chang).
		A familiar adage of Hsing Yi Ch'uan is that "the hands do not leave the (area of the) heart and the elbows do not leave the ribs." There are few kicks in the style and the techniques are of a predominately percussive nature.
		Hsing Yi is characteristically aggressive in nature and prefers to move into the opponent with a decisive blow at the earliest opportunity.

		A familiar adage of Xing Yi Quan is that "the hands do not leave the [area of] the heart and the elbows do not leave the ribs." There are few kicks in the style and the techniques are predominately percussive in nature.
		Based on the movements of the spear, the strategies and techniques of Xing Yi Quan are designed to subdue an opponent in the shortest possible amount of time (as prolonged exchanges were not conducive to survival in mass battle situations).
		From the point of view of the warrior on the battlefield, the longer he is engaged in a grappling encounter, the longer he is exposed and vulnerable to attack from a third party.

	Xing Yi Info
		Xing Yi students are always aware of which movements are basics in their styles without having to "decode" such movements from a forest of actions.
		Part of Xing Yi's overall flavor and strength as a martial art is its reliance on the idea of STRONG SHAPES, that is postural formation which do a great deal of martial work just by the nature of their structure.
		The genius of Xing Yi is that the actions developed for the Wu Xing as so close to normal hand movements and yet so profoundly structured that repetition actually becomes one of the Xing Yi stylists secret weapons.

		At the turn of this century, Hsing Yi fighters such as Che Yonghong and Guo Yunshen ("The Divine Crushing Fist") acquired considerable reputation due to their success in many national open martial art contests.

		Hsing-i is not a stripped down art in the sense that its missing alot or is really basic (Quite the contrary.) Some people may refer to it that way in that it "tends" to focus on less individual techniques but the body method for any one of them incorporates alot of mechanics.
		With the constant repetition of the movements that is traditionally done in Hsing-i I view the goal to be the development of instinctual usage of the movements from ANY position/posture.
		Xing Yi is a taoistic style wich is about transformation so one shouldn't think about losing or winning and also should think of no strategy or trick to use, it's only about action and reaction, the style fights through you, you do not act, it's the style who acts you...
