Thanks. yes, we should keep moving forward as making the art keep going as well.

Thank you. It is my great pleasure to share some information with others.

Happy to hear that! We talked about this before...now it's the time to share with others! Thanks.

You're very welcome! thanks,

Thanks, in our internal style's practice, there are so many "levels" of training.

Glad you enjoyed it! It is a good way to help others remember it. Thanks.

Sure, I will. Thanks,

Glad to hear that!

Thank you for your comments. I practice three internal styles in an equal efforts and love them all. I think, if we talk about theory and concept, xingyi is the best well developed among the three. Thanks,

I think I will answer this question for you next time (Q&A) Thanks,

Thanks, will do! Seriously, it's my great pleasure to share my information with others.

Hello, it is alright to practice any style as long as it provides the benefits. I have some Santi video in my channel, you can check it out. Thank you.

Great to know you practice xing Yi. Happy New Year.

Welcome!

Thank you for your input. Like we both agree that in any practice, we train our skills, knowledge, instincts and so on, not the fixed patterns... this is why I am very happy to know that someone like you agree upon it.

@@HaiYangChannel Thank you, Sifu. That means a lot coming from you.

Thanks. I always try to find a way to help my students practice better.

Glad you like them! I am learning many English expressions at the same time:) Thanks,

@@HaiYangChannel I will try to diversify my expression from now on so that you can learn new ones and if you don't understand, let me know, I'll explain it.

Thank you too!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks,

@@HaiYangChannel hope we are able to cross paths one day. You’re an inspiration

You're very welcome

Always welcome

Thank you for your comment. To answer your question briefly: power should come from everywhere.

Thanks, I am working on it now. But the video shoot part has been disrupted due to the COVID situation. Should be done in the fall season. I hope.

I hope so. Thanks.

Glad it was helpful! I will make the similar videos for bagua and Tai Chi as well.

Great suggestion! Thanks.

Thank you for your inputs. I would like to make a brief answer to your questions. 1, It takes years of practice before using the method that you described here: our body feeling can be deceptive as well, this is why we should not always rely on it. Especially, sometimes we make mistakes in practice but we feel "good" in our body... 2, Yes, I always find new things when practice 5 elements. However, these new discoveries should follow the xingyi principle. It is great to find now things! And it is the foundation for further progress. 3, Xiangxingshu applies some contraction-expansion motion. But xingyi has the same practice too. The problem is that many people do not focus on it. We have all of these theories in xingyi classic, but many people just do not read it anymore , in China... I will talk about those variations in future's video. Thanks,

Hai Yang Thank you for the answers, Master Yang. I will keep your instructions in mind.

I have to read a couple of times before I understand it... Thanks

I ask you about Q and A or better proverbs: step in the central door/cave/heart first and even if your opponent is a spirit he will get a lot of trouble defending the position

This is a very interesting question. In my opinion, idol worshiping has nothing to do with martial art practice unless there is a kind of religious activity involved, which is totally fine. Also, I think there is not a tradition in martial art community to worship idols, instead, it is just a religious practice. Of course, the friend of yours may have different reasons, but I only can answer this question based on my personal experience. Thanks.

Hello, Yi Quan developed based on Xing Yi. So, in my opinion, it is internal. But it is not necessary to practice Yi Quan in order to practice the 3 main internal styles.

I think I see your question. They are different things regarding your question: overall result is the object of practice, not the local focus even though it may be fit to certain element. Thanks,

@@HaiYangChannel Thanks for your answer.

It is very strange that someone has thought about this, i.e. whether "the element is initiator or consequence", but pondering this issue does open some new channels of understanding. First off, I want to mention that not only the body becomes "strong and solid as Metal" but, possibly, more importantly it is the actual fist that becomes like an element it represents. The element here, with reference to marital application, can be interpreted as a quality: Fire -- hot, burning, explosive; Water -- cool, liquid, flowing; Metal -- hard, thin, sharp; Wood -- strong but flexible; Earth -- solid, potent, weight bearing. So each Quan should be viewed along those lines: Pao -- expansive, explosive, violent, 'bombastic', Zuan -- 'like a whirlpool', Pi -- stretching, tearing, and penetrating, Beng -- 'snapping', like an arrow released from the bow, or expressing the force of a stick breaking, Earth -- like a wrecking or demolition ball on a construction site. You certainly need to feel an element (its quality) within yourself before expressing it as energy and materializing it as an actual fist. There is no point punching with Pao using the flexibility and fluidity of Water, isn't it? And although I don't think that you need to necessarily match an attacking Zuan with a defending and counterattacking Heng (Earth 'overpowering' Water) in an actual combat as the theory dictates, I still do think that there is much scope for counteracting one force with the one that is most suitable for the purpose according to the Five Element theory. For example, evasive flexible snake-like Zuan can skate around and overcome Pao. But at the same time a powerful Pao can overpower Zuan. So if you want to respond to a boxer's hook or cross, you may need it within you some notion of what the most appropriate response you want to express and project. The other point that has some relevance but probably adds little or no weight to your idea of an element being the originator of a fist is the correspondence between fists and internal organs and related Qi meridians. You probably know that Beng is connected to the Liver, Heng to the Spleen, Pao to the Heart, Zuan to the Kidneys, and Pi to the Lungs. Practicing one fist at a time over and over stimulates Qi flow across the related organ, and naturally Qi becomes abundant in that channel. For instance, by 'exercising' Metal you boost Metal within (consequence), and having a strong lungs' Qi aids with your Pi Zhang/Quan (originator). Other than that you should understand that all power comes from 'strong' Xia (Lower) Dantian. When there is an ample reserve of Qi in there, the two vessels are full, and the 12 meridians are fed. By expressing, say, Metal or striking with Pi Zhang, you let the Dantian do the firing release of energy, but the Lung's Qi is also drawn upon and the Lung meridian that runs down the arm, if in a good healthy condition (no bloackages), transports this powerful energy to a target. Before striking with a Pi you sort of contract and thus charge your chest (Lungs) with power, upon release you expand and stretch out. Jin (as in Fajin) is generated exactly by this contraction and wrapping of internal energy/force on itself, and subsequent release. By this token, it seems, that it is the Metal element 'stored' inside that does the job.

I think you could probably look at the classification of all things according to the theory of the 5 elements to give more insight. All 5 elements have their corresponding viscera, bowels, organs, and so forth. Even colour, time of day and direction.

Hello, I think people should develop their skill evenly. I prefer a systematic approach.But most of time, xingyi school are famous for Beng element. thanks,

Hello, yes, I will work on a book and hopefully my English is good enough to write it. Thanks,

@@HaiYangChannel your english is fine master' dont let anyone tell you different

I think I will talk about this in future's video. A very good question! thansk.

. @@HaiYangChannel thank you!!!

五行生五力,I created this one by myself so that students can remember it faster.

第二句是NG QUAN YAN NG LI, I couldn't figure out the Chinese word for "YAN". Thank you.

Hello, unfortunately, I am not in China. I am living in Montreal, Canada. Shanghai is a nice place, I visited that city 25 years ago.

The same practice in different names.

I am not sure what do you mean about 9000. are you talking about ISO-9000? If so, that make sense. Thanks,

good to know that you know that .But it is not a very practical aspect in Xing Yi.

@@HaiYangChannel I am certain you are correct about the impracticable nature of my hsing yi ☺. She she ni In actual use it is my too many years training tai chi chuan joint hand operations I find always at the ready. I believe it was a good friend's desire to help me energize my lung meridian that lead him to instruct me in hsing yi metal, and wong fei hung tiger fork . We are all made fortunate by the good work done in development and maintenance of these arts.

It will make our practice better:)
