The art of Xing Yi Quan first gain popularity in Henan, Shanxi and Hebei provinces of China, and consists of two main systems: the Animals forms and the Five Elements.

The Five Element based systems have five basic forms: Splitting, Drilling, Crushing, Pounding and Crossing; these Five Elements form the foundation of the Art. The basic energies of the Five Elements are then expanded into Twelve Animal forms focus on repetitive practice of single movements that are later combined into more complicated linked forms.

The Twelve Animal Forms contain a variation in strategy and technique based on the specific animal's intrinsic nature in combat.

The direction of movement in Xing Yi forms is predominately linear. Practitioners walk through the forms coordinating the motions of their entire bodies into one focused now. The hands, feet and torso all arrive together and the nose, lead hand and lead foot are aligned along the same vertical axis (San Jian Xiang Jiao). The arms are held in front of the body and the practitioner lines up his or her centerline with the opponent's centerline.

The techniques of Xing Yi Quan are characteristically aggressive in nature and the Xin Yi Quan fighter prefers to move into the opponent with a decisive strike at the earliest opportunity. The style prizes economy of motion and the concept of simultaneous attack and defense. As the name implies, the form or shape of the movements is only a physical manifestation of one's internal state (intent). A fundamental principle underlying all styles of Xing Yi Quan is that the mind controls and leads the movements of the body.
