Xingyi training in Qufu Shaolin Kung Fu School

Xingyi boxing uses the YinYang and the five elements theory (Wuxing in Chinese) of Chinese traditional culture to describe the movement regulations. It selects the typical movements from twelve animals (dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, tortoise, chicken, swallow, harrier, snake, camel, eagles and bear) and combines them with the movements of martial arts forming the twelve basic styles of Xingyi.
