There have been a number of nice martial arts videos posted lately but xingyi's yet to be represented.
Here's a nice clip:

The late Sifu Kenny Gong (shing-yi).

It looks like some bagua palms around the last minute. Is this found in most styles of xing yi? I do remember a tale about a bagua and xing yi master fighting each other to a draw and then agreeing that their students would learn both styles. I just always thought of Xing Yi as very linear as opposed to Bagua's circularity.

nice to see... I didn't understand what there saying. What Xing Yi was that? what was he doing?



There is Linear Xing Yi and there is non Linear Xing Yi.

This master, Feng Zheng-bao, studied xingyi, bagua, liu he and probably incorporated training elements of each with one another. I don't think it's typical to see circle walking in xingyi training. There could be in some style but I'd bet it was added later. I haven't seen any in the classical styles. There's none in the style I practice which is Hebei style. This is Shaanxi style, I believe.

"There is Linear Xing Yi and there is non Linear Xing Yi."


What?

Great videos! Thanks!

Yes i believe there is non linear Xing Yi. I don't practice any. I also could be wrong. I don't know it might be influenced by other martial arts (Bagua) But i do believe that there are Non Linaer Xing Yi

Never heard of it. Although xingyi has a circling exercise called pan gen, it's just an exercise.
