Tell you what. You know someone is a great teacher when they can make me want to practice standing in Santi.

You don't want master status, but if anyone deserved it, you do. Keep the training on a 100% level. Hai Style will be revered for years to come.

As a practitioner of Xing yi since 1993 I would like to thank you for your insight and informative videos on this rare Martial art. I as a practitioner of this can attest to how it may look simple but, it is Not. The only advice I would give is to Keep training. Their is so much to learn.As with any worthwhile endeavor practice breeds competence. Thank you again.

Reminder about triangle shapes in San Ti and how to apply in standing is excellent! Thank you!

Thank you master Yang for this amazing introduction video. I have been a long time fan of yours and I have been watching your videos here on KZread for about a decade. I have been patiently waiting for the online courses you said you were going to create on your website for over 5 or 6 years now. I hope with the release of these introductory videos you plan on finally offering the in depth Xingyi instructional video course you have promised us. I would love at least a solid bunch of Ji Ben Gong or foundational Xingyi training videos to start off with and then leading to learning the 5 Elements. The only question I have is how come you only mentioned 2 out of the 3 main branches of Xingyi? There is 1. Hebei, 2. Shanxi, and the 3rd style is from Henan.

Now, I have more time so I am waiting for the lock-down finishes so that I can shoot instructional videos. I want to provide a high quality learning materials... In my opinion, and I have been promoting this kind of concept in China, that Xingyi should not include Xinyi. Xinyi (more specifically, it was the Dai Family Xinyi, not other Xinyi) is the parent form of Xingyi. From the body structure and contents of each style, they are totally different styles now. This is why I always say that there are only Hebei and Shanxi Xingyi in Xingyi style. Thanks,

Thanks,

Xie'Xie. I study Taijiquan over 20 years, but I am interested in learning about many internal styles.

Thank you for the information. I have background in budo, and one of the things that impresses me about xing yi is that kuzushi and attack happen simultaneously. This implies the use of good timing as well. Also, the heel rooting in a backstance is an ability i see in only advanced practitioners. Heel rooting is a lost art in many styles. I think xing yi is a key to unlocking some of stance-based attacks and the use of things seen in (karate) kata such as double downward block at the end of a sequence - it's not a block, it's a posture-breaking thrust of the entire body with a sinking aspect. What a gem you have there. Cheers!

Perhaps even though I am isolated the single movement may be the most important way to train movement, I also had not noticed so many triangles.

@@HaiYangChannel I would be willing to pay for a distance course on the 12 Animals in detail. I understand it's a long endeavor.

Once again, thank you for sharing so freely and putting such thought into these lectures. I've never practiced Xingyiquan, but I've always suspected that the system of pa kua chang in which I began my training (and which still forms the fundamental basis for the more martial side of what I practice today) had a strong element of Hsing-i incorporated within it. In particular, there is a major emphasis in this pa kua system on linear drills and very application-oriented sequences/forms which are short, "obvious" or "simple" (for lack of a better word), and involve frequent expressions of fajin in strikes, steps, and combos. I understand that fajin is part of any martial art really, especially internal arts, but I hope you get the general point I'm trying to make in describing the system in which I began my study of pa kua. Unfortunately, the historical roots of the style are "shrouded in mystery" and so I could never discover from my Sifu at the time whether the system had its origins in one of the pa kua lineages that are known to have consciously incorporated hsing-i movements and principles and cross-trained with hsing-I practitioners on a regular basis. Your breakdown of the focus and structural elements of the santi stance has helped me more clearly distinguish it from the fighting/dragon posture that is used in my old pa kua system's linear practices. The two postures look almost identical, aside from some slight differences in the angle of the front foot and the level of the lead hand, but your analysis here in this vid has really helped me to understand how they are, in fact, different and provide for a readiness or poise to move or react in two very distinct manners. Thank you once again. To be perfectly honest, I've achieved more clarity and answers to several questions I've had from watching these two latest lecture vids of yours than I did from YEARS of asking questions of my previous teacher. Again, these are gold and I hope that many other people will come to appreciate them as such. Be safe.

Then, gradually, practice 8-word one by one when keeping practicing others. Thanks,

And other materials as well. I am in the process to develop an online teaching system. I will start to shoot the video after the virus issule settles down so that we can start to work at the studio. I have no idea about these two gentlemen at all. I am not active in the martial art community, so I only know a few people outside of China in this community. So hard to give you an answer about it, sorry for it.

@@HaiYangChannel ok thank you so much for all that information and for taking the time to respond to me. I love Chinese kung fu! I used to train karate and I injured my knees really bad and stopped training all together for a few years. Than this year I couldn't live without martial arts anymore. I always had interest in wing chun so I learned siu nim tau by watching videos of master ip man and Samuel kwok and that form alone literally saved my life. I have continued learning what I can and Since than have begun practicing yi jin jing and have felt my body transforming. I have been rebuilding my body over the past sixth months and been learning as much as I can about the internal styles now. I feel that I am on the right track to becoming healthier and stronger now in my 30s than I was in my teens and 20s. I owe it all to Chinese martial arts and philosophy. I am also taking classes to learn Mandarin so hopefully someday I can travel to the birthplace of your wonderful arts and dedicate the rest of my life to learning from some true master's like yourself. Again thank you sifu from the bottom of my heart. All good luck and heavens blessings on you and your family. Amituofo.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It is great to know that you benefit from practice, and this is the real practice. Again, thanks.

There's a Martial Art school on the Astral Plane invite only, When I started practicing Hsing I. A master came to me in my dreams and showed me there was telekinesis connected with the Metal form , Ya can believe this or not , On another note Im glad your uploading again, I think its time to return practice .

Do you realize that the beginning of your comment can easily be interpreted as obnoxiously silly or even mockery? If not, then I guess you're smoking the good greens.

@@corehydration9796 OK then. There's nothing magical or mystical being discussed here in this video or on this channel by this teacher. If anything, practicing martial arts (or any physical discipline) to a high level should help a person achieve an informed understanding and grasp of reality. You learn about the realities of your own body -- its limits and its potentials. You learn about the realities of your own psychology -- your fears, determination, and discipline. You learn about the realities of the art - its points of focus, its weaknesses, its tactics. Perhaps most importantly, you learn about the reality of fighting and violence. You learn how truly fragile the human body can be, how easy it is to hurt others or be hurt yourself. Perhaps you can learn something about the reality of darkness, pain, even death. And, in so doing, perhaps you learn to appreciate how short and precious life is and why you shouldn't waste yours. There's nothing magical here for you.

. Thank you :) I would love to learn xue dian substyle

Not a prblem.

I’m a skinny guy and I think the swallow style of xingyi could be perfect for me to train because its agility and fast moves. Unfortunately, there are no xingyi masters here and it s quite difficult to learn just only watching the videos. I’ve been practicing santi stance many years and 5 elements too but without the actual teacher, therefore, probably I’m still very far from knowing it right and well. And so far, I’m not even came to study the animal form yet though I look forward to see the swallow form.

Hello, I have read your post for a couple of times in order to have time to think about how to respond it. In my opinion, being skinny is not a problem at all. What you can do is just to adjust your practice in terms of structure and posture, not the contents of xingyi. One should practice the whole system no matter their body shape, not only choose some parts of it due to their physical condition. Also, I am working on developing an online program and i hope it will be ready in the future. Thanks,

@@HaiYangChannel Thank you! The basic exercise is very important but only the master can see and adjust the student rightly and to correct the errors. Anyway, I keep looking your videos and try to do it right. Xingyi health exercises would also be really interesting to see and to practice!

Hai Yang How do you distribute the weight on the legs when taking the combat stance Pi? And the force distribution when performing the Pi both in attack and defence? Xie xie!

Very good question. In combat the weight distribution should be dynamic or not on one leg only. Thanks.
