Don't worry about the Chinese text, most of the commentators were just astonished how much good stuff was published freely in the Japanese magazines. I am beginning to wonder why there are so many posts in Xinyi while the popularized version of Xingyi only has Santi. Another thing, I once wondered what that sky punch in Xingyi's Bear was for, gee, check out the first and second photo, it's the elbow, dud!

Anyhow, anybody who can read Japanese and found anything interesting in the Japanese text please share with us.

Japanese magazines always looks better than most of their western counterparts. I had the chance to browse thru some CMA japanese mags and they were just a beauty to look at. Many photos and beautiful design. If only I can read japanese.

If I am not mistaken there are other postures that can be practised as standing postures in xingyi as well.
