 Hsing-i Chuan (Xing Yi Quan) is a boxing style of Taoist origin and development. It is devoted to the importance of uniting the body and mine as one.  With this concept, the mind can successfully command the body and chi.  As a result, you have a martial art that is devastating in application. Since it coordinates, tonifies, and regulates the body, good health can be achieved through regular practice, thus forming a complete art. The system consists of the five elements (metal, water, wood, fire, earth) and the twelve animals  (sparrowhawk, tortoise, phoenix, monkey, cock, swallow, snake, eagle, bear, tiger, horse, and dragon)

 

Chen Tai Chi The form taught at the school is called 13 postures. It consists of 13 sections and has 64 moves. The learning of chen sa chin (silk reeling energy), circles around the body's meridians like latitudes around the globe. Its goal is to promote good health, to heal or to prevent sickness and achieve happiness along with self defense capability. The precise movements will give extraordinary power. This also provides a form of moving meditation in time.
