Xing Yi - Heart Mind Boxing

The Spirit is cultivated in the practice of this internal art, through the practice of Twelve Animals boxing and Five Elements boxing. They teach the correct use of internal spirit and energy, through correct mental and physical alignment.

Tremendous power can be developed, even from a slightly built person, through the cultivation of this art. It is often practiced in China in conjunction with Tai Chi, one of the other main internal styles, practiced at the East Midlands Wushu Association. Two of the British National judges attend these lessons, and regularly teach.

Five elements and twelve animals form the basis for Hsing Yi, utilising them to develop the Heart, Mind and Spirit.
