DW107-13 Shang Style Xingyi Quan Series - Xingyi Liuhe Quan & Eight Form Quan Li Hong DVD

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."
