Download or read book Yiquan 360 written by Ling Seto and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-27 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of Yiquan for enthusiasts seeking a deeper and richer appreciation of the magnificence of the Internal Arts A departure from the standard "how-to" manual, Yiquan 360 provides the often missing theory and associated practice that will allow students of the Internal Arts to unlock their full potential as practitioners. It will demystify and fill knowledge gaps that exist outside of what is commonly taught and available in Internal Arts literature. Yiquan 360 was written to fulfill a promise made by Ling Seto to the late Francis H.T. Chan, a school mate and sparring partner of Bruce Lee, who served as a combat instructor to British troops stationed in Hong Kong. This book contains insights and teachings from almost fifteen years of training, observation and direction under Mr. Chan that are supported by Ling Seto's own experience and discoveries from five decades of martial arts study. As one of the rare texts to comprehensively describe and clarify the theory and practice behind the types of Internal Power and the techniques used by Yiquan to produce them, this book also reveals the founder's ultimate aim for Yiquan, and provides insight into other martial arts that utilise Internal Power, answering questions including the following: The rationale behind the slow pace of Taiji Yiquan's equivalent to Bagua's circle walking The role of Xingyi in influencing Yiquan The relation of the Internal Arts to Shaolin Qigong For current practitioners, this book is an invaluable resource that provides a bird's eye view of Yiquan, explaining all aspects of the art and the proper training progressions required to advance. For other internal arts students, this volume provides key insights into the methodology to produce Internal Power in their own practice. Through the understanding of Yiquan training procedures and their purpose, students can rediscover methods in their respective arts that will enhance their training and skills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Xing Yi Quan of Master Li Gui Chang details the key fundamentals of the art of Xing Yi Quan: The Five Elements (Five Fists) and the Five Element Linking form (Wu Xing Jin Tui Lian Huan). These are the essential forms of Xing Yi Quan, the origin of all other movements, changes and transformations. In this unique book, Li Gui Chang's disciple Song Zhi Yong details the body actions (Shen Fa) of each movement and form, showing the correct alignments and power dynamics. The over 600 photos of Master Song in action show his mastery of the art, and provide the reader with clear instruction in the fundamentals of Xing Yi Quan. In Northern China and in Shanxi Province, the purported birthplace of Xing Yi Quan, Master Li Gui Chang is a legendary figure in the world of martial arts. Few practitioners have approached Master Li's achievements in Tai Ji Quan and Xing Yi Quan. Master Li Gui Chang's Xing Yi is famous for its emphasis on subtle internal strength and firmness hidden within a soft, supple exterior. In this Xing Yi method, issuing power, while important, is secondary to whole body skills of connecting, sticking, listening and following. In his first book, Tu Na Si Ba: The Four Breathing Forms of Master Li Gui Chang, Song Zhi Yong revealed the specialized breathing exercises that develop the soft, supple, whole body power characteristic of Li Gui Chang's Xing Yi. In this second companion volume, The Xing Yi Quan of Master Li Gui Chang, Master Song Zhi Yong demonstrates how the internal strength developed in Tu Na Si Ba manifests in the martial forms. 深奥形意拳拳术的动态呈现中英文双语专著 《形意拳之五行连环》详细描述了形意拳拳术的关键基本原理： 五行（五拳）和五行连环（五行进退连环）。这些是形意拳的基本形式，所有其他运动，变化和转换的起源。在这本独一无二的专著中，李桂昌的徒弟，宋志勇，详细描述了每一个运作和形式的身法，演示了正确的定线和力量的动态。宋大师600 多帧连续动作的像片演示了该拳术的神秘之处，向读者提供了形意拳基本原理的清晰的诠释。 在中国的北方，在山西省，在形意拳的传说的诞生地，李桂昌大师是武林界的一个传奇人物，很少有人能够在太极拳和形意拳上接近李大师的成就。李桂昌大师的形意拳因强调微妙的内力和隐藏在柔软和灵活外表下的刚性而闻名于世。 在他的形意拳中，发力，虽然重要，对全身的连，粘，听和跟的技能而言也是次要的。 在他的第一本书《吐纳四把 - 李桂昌大师的四种呼吸方法》中，宋志勇揭示了能够发展李桂昌形意拳特征的柔软，灵活和全身力量的特殊呼吸训练方法。 在他的第二本姐妹书《形意拳之五行连环》 》中，宋大师展示了吐纳四把中发展的内力怎样表现在武术的形式上。
Book Synopsis Xing Yi Quan: Art of Inner Transformation by : Tom Bisio
Download or read book Xing Yi Quan: Art of Inner Transformation written by Tom Bisio and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literally translated as "Form-Intention Boxing," Xing Yi Quan emphasizes internal movement within external stillness. Practicing Xing Yi trains the practitioner to actualize the instinctive, hair-trigger reactions of the human body in direct, powerful movements. Xing Yi training focuses on natural, integrated movement, whole body breathing, and the movement of Qi (vital energy), rather than external technique. Rooted in Daoist meditation and longevity practices, and Chinese medical and martial art traditions dating back into antiquity, Xing Yi Quan training draws upon ancient Daoist meditation and inner alchemical practices that transform the body's internal structure, while confronting and dispelling extraneous thoughts to actualize true Intention, thereby providing the practitioner with a comprehensive method of actualizing his or her own inherent potential. Xing Yi Quan: Art of Inner Transformation is not a how-to book. In this fascinating meditation on the art of Xing Yi Quan and its many applications to life and living, author Tom Bisio discusses the many facets of this ancient art: - What is Xing Yi Quan? - The Relationship of Xing Yi Quan to Daoism - Xing Yi Quan and the Five Elements - The Health Benefits of Xing Yi Quan - Xing Yi Quan Training - Suitability of Xing Yi Quan for Different Ages & Lifestyles - Xing Yi Quan as a Martial Art - Xing Yi Quan as a Psycho-Spiritual Path Xing Yi Quan has five key movements, known as The Five Elements, or The Five Fists. Each of the Five Fists has a specific internal action and intention that is simultaneously energy enhancing, combative, and strengthens and harmonizes the internal organs. Practicing the Five Fists cultivates Qi and develops practical fighting skills. In Xing Yi Quan: Art of Inner Transformation Tom Bisio explains how the postures and movements of Xing Yi Quan open the body's energy pathways (meridians), promoting health and well-being, while simultaneously arousing and enlivening the Qi, so that there is no gap between intention and action.
