Xinyiba

[lloyd]

Hi!

Can anyone tell me about Shaolin Xinyiba?

To my knowledge, there is very little information available.

Has anyone done it?
Are there any tapes, books, videos?

Thanks in advance!

[Shaolin Master]

What would you like to know?

sounds good but what is it?:rolleyes:

[Shaolin Master]

Xin Yi Ba is not necessarily a form or set movements per se, it is a method of power generation and training. There are various sets of methods to promote/train such skills. Recently though it has marketed as otherwise.

The essential secret is simple, whilst its training arduous.

one energy from head to toe!

We also have Pu Hu Ba which trains the same energy in a horizontal plane.

[Shaolin Master]

One of the Xin Yi Liu He legends explains the origins of Shaolin Xin Yi Ba.

Apparently, Ji Long Feng had travelled to the shaolin temple having defeated all the best warrior monks of shaolin. He then encountered the Abbott who, although able to neautralise some of the attacks was duely impressed.

As a result Ji Ji Ke (Ji Long Feng) was requested to stay as a guest (thus why shaolin includes so many methods they always invited the best to share with them). In the 3 years that he was there he imparted only one third of the xin yi ba (ie 4)...these were later expanded to 6 by generations of latter monks and were said to have been the revered methods of the temple taught to only the most worthy of disciples and if none worthy was found in a generation then the Abbott alone would carry the methods.

Therefore, to study the authentic Xin Yi Ba in its purest form it would be appropriate to study Xin Yi Liu He.
