Although have read a lot about kung fu and related stuff, I don’t know much about Hsing-I. Can anyone tell me its main idea when it comes to combat. And is it a good art to learn for real-life combat?
I’d appreciate it if anyone can recommend some good schools in New York City.?
Thanks
Glad you asked!
Hsing-I (a.k.a. Xingyi) has a proud history of successful use on the battlefield. If it’s taught in the right way it is most definitely a useful combat art. The main principle is to take down your opponent as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Check out www.emptyflower.com and www.hsing-i.com. Both of these sites also feature links to other good sources.

Hey, Boy_Analog
What style of hsing-i do you practice?, and who’s your teacher?
I’me very interested in contacting xingyi/hsing-i practicioners from all over the world. You can see some of my pics and articles at EmptyFlower. There also a lot of nice folks at its message board.
Regards

I’m a Hsing-I student and I study under theblacktaoist - www.blacktaoist.com. He teaches Hsing-I in New York. Our webpage doesn’t have too much info on hsing-i yet but by this summer it will be jam pack with info.
There is BP Chan - Hsing - I teacher…he is no joke my friend…I learn first hand experience… You can call William CC Chen school…I dont have the number off hand.
There is Li Thai Liang … he is a great Hsing-I teacher…real stuff … no mystery and bs talk … just straight up fighting …

Now the people I’ve mention are what in my opinion hard core cats that not only can talk the talk but can use Hsing-I to the fullest…but don’t get me wrong there are other people in NYC that know it..
Also www.emptyflower.com is by far my favorite source on Hsing-I…
