Hi all ( espcially to Tim),
I read Tim's book of xingyi neigong and it described this 3 fists and 3 clubs. Are these actual techniques or principles/ characteristics?
Yuxian,
In general, it is difficult to separate principles and techniques in Xingyiquan. However, as far as I know, the "Three Fists" and "Three Clubs" are specific striking techniques.
Hi Tim,
Do these techniques exist in Hebei style XY? Are they advance techniques that combine the ideas/jings of the five elements?
I think the energies of these techniques are included within the Elements.
Tim,
Could you describe Fan Bei Club?
thanks,
Robert Mathers
Robert,
Usually, "fan bei" refers to movements that involve turning the body while simultaneously moving the spine in a wave upward through the torso and out the arms. An example is found in some versions of the Hawk Form.
