In this episode Paul talks about the Xing Yi 5 elements and compares them to the Xing Yi 12 animals.

Five elements have a simplified strategy, minimise complex body mechanics to a certain extent and create Jin in very similar ways. The character of all the 5 elements “feels” similar. Xing Yi Academy use the 5 elements as a stepping stone to teach fundamentals before moving onto 12 animals.

The character of each of the Xing Yi Animals is different, through body movement and mechanics, complexity in strategy and the way in which they create force. Paul explains a little of these differences using variations of Pi Quan and a little discussion with students.

Xing Yi Academy have a unique focus on the 12 animals of Xing Yi and teach these methods in extreme detail with lots of improvisation, applications and testing.
