What do the Xing Yi classes focus on?
We have three distinct levels for students–beginner, intermediate, and advanced–which all focus on a progressive approach that builds strength, flexibility, and coordination. Everyone in the class, regardless of level, participates in the three elements of each class: Physical conditioning, the training of forms sequences, and finally practicing applications with a partner. The latter element is quite important as it gives the student the ability to practically apply the arts in a fighting/self-defense scenario, and it also ensures that the student does not become lost in theory, or train for years without being able to actually execute what they have learned.
