形意拳 xingyi quan Monkey (Hou Xing)

☯࿊ Xingyi is a great art for building health, wellbeing and a strong body/frame.

Here we demonstrate the Monkey shape, which is great for building flexibility, strong legs and agility.
The Monkey also trains the cunning and "smart" techniques contained within xingyi quan.

There are a significant amount of pi quan (splitting fist) variations built into this form, advancing, retreating, rushing and continuous. As regards applications, there are a significant amount of striking options, balance offsets, sweep throws and knee strikes blended in this form. Applications to some of the animal forms uploaded over the last few weeks will arrive once I can schedule some time with students to demonstrate.

Monkey is a great set for agile people, and in some respects, i feel that i never do the form justice, but we all work on rounding out our attributes, and overall it has some nasty in-fighting and self defense techniques contained within its practices.☯࿊

I hope you find the content useful and maybe give you some ideas for your own xingyi practice.
