Practicing the Five Fists cultivates Qi and develops practical fighting skills. 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. Xing Yi Quan has five key movements, known as The Five Elements, or The Five Fists. Hand copied, and passed from teacher to student, it is one of the 'secret transmissions' of Chinese martial arts. Xing Yi Quan as a Psycho-Spiritual Path Nei Gong: The Authentic Classic, (Nei Gong Zhen Chuan) is an obscure text of unknown origin, yet it stands alone as the definitive text on internal energy and the generation of internal power. Suitability of Xing Yi Quan for Different Ages & Lifestyles The Relationship of Xing Yi Quan to Daoism A significant percentage of students who take up internal martial arts focus only on the Nei Gong exercises and perceived health aspects of these arts while eschewing the martial aspects.
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: The Importance of Embracing the Martial in Internal Martial Arts by Tom Bisio. Xing Yi Quan: Art of Inner Transformation is not a how-to book. 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 training focuses on natural, integrated movement, whole body breathing, and the movement of Qi (vital energy), rather than external technique. Practicing Xing Yi trains the practitioner to actualize the instinctive, hair-trigger reactions of the human body in direct, powerful movements. Literally translated as "Form-Intention Boxing," Xing Yi Quan emphasizes internal movement within external stillness. Teacher Tom Bisio’s newest book, Xing Yi Quan: Art of Inner Transformation, is a well-balanced read on the fundamental ideas and goals of Xing Yi (Shape of the Will Boxing).
