Xing Yi in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset

Xing Yi

Xing Yi is often taught in a highly simplified and reduced fashion alongside Tai Chi. But when studied as a main art, Xing Yi is vast, covering a huge array of different traditional weapons and strategies, as well as having great variety and depth in its barehand aspects. It also has more in the way of ancilliary skills, such as deep weapons training, ground fighting and a huge array of supporting exercises, than do most contemporary Chinese arts.
