Xingyiquan

Xingyiquan (free-mind animal-imitating Chuan) always starts from a stance with body weight mainly resting on the back leg (santishi). It employs the palm cut. the straight blow. the corkscrew, the oblique thrust and the swing as its basic fist techniques. This style of wushu features the imitation of the characteristic movements of certain animals, such as the dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, turtle, cock, hawk, swallow, snake, eagle and bear. Xingyiquan is characterized by simple and steady movements, straightforward and compact routines.
