徳印太极拳协会叶志威老师慢动示范。Xing Yi five Element Linking Fists slow demonstration. by master Tary Yip of Deyin Taijiquan Insitute.
This is a slow demonstration of the Five Elements Linking Fists filmed during a seminar to show students the movements in a slightly clearer demo.
The Five Element-based systems have five basic forms: Splitting, Drilling, Crushing, Cannon and Crossing; these Five Elements form the foundation of the art. The basic energies of the Five Elements are then expanded into Twelve Animal forms focus on the repetitive practice of single movements that are later combined into more complicated linked forms.
The direction of movement in Xing Yi forms is predominately linear. Practitioners walk through the forms coordinating the motions of their entire bodies into one focused now. The hands, feet and torso all arrive together and the nose, lead hand and lead foot are aligned along the same vertical axis (San Jian Xiang Jiao). The arms are held in front of the body and the practitioner lines up his or her centerline with the opponent’s centerline.
