	chiflow Nei Jia Kungfu Taiji, Xingyquan, Baguazhang Qigung and Liangong
		Xingyiquan is an internal Chinese martial art that has enjoyed a long history, and may be older than its two siblings: Taijiquan and Baguazhang.
		Xingyiquan means "Form and Will Boxing," so it follows that the will and the shape are more important in making Xingyiquan work as a martial art than mere physical strength and heavy handed force.
		The practitioner that seeks the more sophisticated, efficient path is advised to seek the softness in the hard, the small in the vast, the lightness in the heavy, the Yin in the Yang and vice-a-versa: avoid the overuse of force and reliance on physical strength.

		Having learnt xingyiquan in his childhood, Wang Xiangzhai became a skilled fighter, who spent years travelling all over China, meeting and comparing skills with masters of various styles of kung fu.
		In the middle of the 1920s, he came to the conclusion that xingyiquan too often was taught wrong, with too much emphasis on 'outer form', neglecting the essence of true martial power.
		And so he worked to return to what he felt was the true essence of the art using a different name, without the 'xing' (meaning form), and began teaching and practicing it accordingly.

		Xingyiquan is a very old Chinese martial art that most believe originated in the early 1600s.
		Xingyiquan is a no-nonsense fighting system - relatively easy to learn, but difficult and long to master.
		The ultimate goal of Xingyi is to reach the state of Wuji or "no mind." The art's foundation are the five element fists, each one represented by a petal - hence the name "empty flower" - my effort to grasp this meaning - David DeVere.
