Five element fist (五行拳)- Dai Family Xinyi Quan (戴家心意拳）#Kungfu #martialarts #功夫 #wushu#心意拳唐宁泰

The Five Element Fists (Splitting Fist, Drilling Fist, Penetrating Fist, Exploding Fist, Crossing Fist) of Xing Yi Quan are the main strikes of Xing Yi. They are all practiced in flowing lines alternating the left and right sides of the body. This develops both arms equally and balances the body. Xing Yi Quan boxers aim to be ambidextrous, changing sides swiftly with quick steps. Xing Yi Quan’s Five Element Fists help you develop striking power, strong foot work, and stable stances. When you practice, sometimes you practice vigorously, using your skill and energy, delivering sudden, powerful strikes from aggressive, attacking steps. Other times, you need to practice much slower, and focus on being as aware of your posture as possible, concentrating your Qi with your breathing, and building your inner strength. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dai’s Xinyiquan, also known as Xinyiquan or Xinyi Liuhe Quan, is one of the most outstanding internal martial arts in the Chinese martial arts. For hundreds of years, this boxing has been kept secret within the Dai family in Qixian, Shanxi province. It has a long history, rich content, and mysterious and unfathomable techniques, combining the theories and techniques of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, making it a scientific martial art that focuses on both internal and external training. The techniques follow the objective rules of nature, based on the theory of the balance of yin and yang of heaven and earth, and the theory of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are the essence of Dai’s Xinyiquan. Dai’s Xinyiquan is one of the three famous internal martial arts (Tai Chi, Bagua, Xingyi), and is the ancestor of Xingyi Quan. Internally, it emphasizes the harmony of heart and intention, intention and Qi, and Qi and strength (these are the internal three harmonies), while externally, it emphasizes the unity of hands and feet, elbows and knees, and shoulders and hips (these are the external three harmonies). Therefore, people also call Dai’s Xinyiquan the Xinyi Liuhe Quan, or Xinyiquan of the Six Harmonies. #心意拳 #形意拳 #Xingyiquan #Chinese #Kungfu #Martial #功夫 #武术 #martialarts
