Shang-Style Xingyi Quan Series: Traditional Xingyi Interlinked Double Broadswords by Li Hong DVD
In Xingyi Quan, we focus a lot on "weapon and quan together as a whole." No matter if it's short or long, single or double, there are different weapons for different boxing methods. In the year 1936, my grandfather, master Shang Yuanxiang, demonstrated this set at the Performing Wushu Meeting for Relieving The People in the Yellow River Disaster in Peiping and excited the martial arts world. My father Li Wenbin was good at this broadsword and understood its essence. Here I demonstrate the set for you in the hope that you can get an understanding of traditional Xingyi Quan and its weapons.

Xingyi Liuhe Broadsword is derived from the Traditional Xingyi Liuhe Quan. Previously called Xinyi Liuhe Quan and Liuhe Quan, it is a type of traditional boxing. Here we mainly talk about the technique and the requirements of the Xingyi Liuhe broadsword. Besides the internal three conformities and external three conformities it requires the coordination of advancing, retreating, turning and folding with force.

Xingyi Twelve Hong Chui (Big Hammer) uses the fist throughout the routine, so is called Chui (Hammer), and includes variations and degrees of difficulty. It includes advancing, retreating, rotating and turning, or bundling, unfolding, withdrawing and sending. There are both basic techniques and high skills in it, so you don't rigidly adhere to technique and are able to adapt its use in actual combat.
The Spear is called "the king of all weapons" all through the ages. In practice, it is sometimes hard and sometimes soft; it moves high and low, impressing with the grace in its changes. It displays great vigor and seems to jump, moving to-and-fro, so changeable that predicting its next movement seems impossible. The Xingyi spear pays attention to the movements of raising, dropping, turning and drilling. The waist is the source of power with both hands helping and supporting each other, and the attacking and defending are performed as a whole. The force and power of the "outward parry, inward parry and thrust" of the Xingyi Spear is a significant departure from the "tilt, cover and thrust" of other spears.
The application of Xingyi force and methods can be applied to the sword, but it is quite different from ordinary sword use. It requires the transfer of the hand's force into the sword; Thus it is said that the sword is the extension of the arm and can be brought into practice freely.
The most significant feature and advantage of this traditional Xingyi weapon is that the boxing aspects and the weapon perform together as a whole. The chopping broadsword and chopping palm of Shang-Style Xingyi are the same in force; using "three riving force," the waist drives the shoulder, the shoulder drives the elbow, the elbow drives the wrist. It does not use the arms' force individually, but rather uses borrowed force to chop, push and rub. Not only does this require power of the waist, but also makes the foot and hand reach the point at the same time.
Xingyi Mixture Styles Quan casts a wide net, with the routine displaying great variety. In order to demonstrate methods of applying force with different parts of the body, it has its own unique power and understanding. From its different movement structures and requirements, these methods of applying force demonstrate the full panorama of the twelve styles.
This set of Xingyi Comprehensive Paired Practice contains more variations in the movements and force and is based in traditional Xingyiquan. It reflects Xingyi Quan's feature of "hard attacking and hard advancing" and the unique attacking technique of "closing the body and applying force." The circle of Xingyiquan gives high praise to the creative thought in this set.
Xingyi Liuhe Quan emphasizes holding the fists while chopping with the forearm like an axe. It is a true hacking palm, said to be "like an axe made of metal." Its force does not only come out from the shoulders, elbows and joints of the hands, but also from the forearm, between the elbow and hand. It is very unique in its attacking technique. Eight-Form Quan has the significant feature of "striking once encountering the hands with swift and solid power in each form." Though the movements are not as flexible as in other routines, there are more movements with changing hand forms and changing force. In practice, they change more with emphasis on "harmony of the upper body and the lower one, the unity of the inner and outer power, uniformity of the whole body."
Xingyi Protecting-Body Cannon is a traditional Xingyi set of paired practice that has gained wide popularity. It requires force to be applied in the forward step, advancing step, twisting step and retreating step so that the body should move as a whole. The force is sometimes strong or soft, sometimes fast or slow. If two people practice it for a long times and focus on the changes of its force, quickness and slowness, hardness, softness and distance it can improve the coordination of the whole body and impart a solid understanding of how force can be controlled for attacks and defense.
Of the general staff it is said: "Staff play covers a large range." This means that the force is on the front of the staff. The Xingyi staff and Quan are used with the same principles. The Xingyi staff keeps consistent with Xingyiquan in the use of "three driving force." It uses the waist as the axis, the fulcrum and the source of power. It is similar to the principle of using a lever to amplify force; its movements are not in big frame, because it prefers the movements to be agile and easy to change, quick, strong and firm. Applying force from the waist can inflict heavy injuries on the opponent's bones and nerves rather than skin and muscle.
Five Elements Restraining Each Other is popular dual routine in traditional Xingyiquan. It includes five kinds powers of chop, snap, drill, cannon and crosscut, being accreted and corresponded with the metal, water, wood, fire and earth. When you practice, you should according to the theory of five elements restraining. The movements are seems simple but it has profundity in essences. It is hypothetic coherent face-to-face fight for the purpose of fostering the consciousness of attack and defence and the accuracy and flexibility of the movements of the body, hands and feet.Counterwork Hammers is traditional dual routine in Xingyiquan. Two persons represent attack and defence by fist methods, showing the characteristic of "Punch lie place of ox. " You can use any parts of body to fight, don't be limited in rulers, but try to release power well.
Xingyi Sword Dual Practice was created by Li Wenbin on the basis of mastering the quan and weapons. It pays much attention to the Xingyi force and the style of being "hard attacking and hard advance." It emphasizes the power of Xingyi and the style of forcefully attacking. Through the swift change of sword method and the variety of the methods of body, hand and footwork, it requires no knocks between sword and sword. Thus it has special requirements on the force, distance, body of the practitioners. |
