Xue Sheng
All weight is underside
As hard as I try I can't seem to stay away from Xingyiquan long.
:uhohh: I haven't done it yet
But it is getting harder and harder to resist :erg:
I have this incredible urge to stand in Santi Shi and train Wuxing again :EG:...
:hmm: Maybe I need to find a support group
But to keep this in context with Xingyiquan here is a bit of a progression as to the five elements and Xingyiquan in development from one posture to another and attack and defense. I do believe I a while back that I posted this before
Xingyiquan Wuxingquan (5 elements fist) is made up of five forms
Piquan – splitting fist – metal
Zuanquan – drilling fist – water
Bengquan –smashing fist – wood
Paoquan – pounding fist – fire
Hengquan – crossing fist - earth
Each of the above 5 is trained individually first and then put together into the 5 elements linking form
Also each element produces the next or each element can be used to defeat another
Metal produces water
Water produces Wood
Wood produces Fire
Fire produces Earth
Earth produces Metal
Metal defeats Wood
Wood defeats Earth
Earth defeats Water
Water defeats Fire
Fire defeats Metal
This leads to a never ending circle of attack and defense
Wood then can changes to fire to counter metal,
Metal change to water to counter fire,
Fire changes to earth to counter water
Water changes to wood to counter earth
Earth changes to metal to counter wood
And you are back at the beginning
But these are the basics and in an actual fight things are not expected to follow any set pattern, and to be honest Xingyiquan is going to hit you hard and hopefully once but if that fails it will hit you repeatedly.
In my opinion the main philosophy of Xingyiquan is rather simple “I am going to hit you….hard”
