Xingyiquan, or Xingyi, is a style of internal Chinese martial arts.[2]
The word translates approximately to "Form-Intention Fist", or "Shape-Will Fist".[note 1] It is characterized by aggressive, seemingly linear movements and explosive power that's most often applied from a short range.
A practitioner of xingyi uses coordinated movements to generate bursts of power intended to overwhelm the opponent, simultaneously attacking and defending. Methods vary from school to school, but always include bare-handed fighting training (mostly in single movements/combinations and sometimes in forms) and the training of weapons usage with similar or identical body mechanics to that used for bare-handed intense fighting. The most basic notions of movement and body mechanics in the art were heavily influenced by the practice of staves and spears.
Historically and technically related martial arts include Dai-style xinyi liuhequan, liuhe xinyiquan and yiquan.
