first of all, i`m sorry that i typed your name wrong.

thank you for your explanation Shi heng che
really interesting. So Xinyi bafa has bagua zhang element in it? is it like a combination from other arts?
I read a story about ji long feng, the creaator of xinyi liuhe, teach the shaolin monks his xinyi method. Is it evolving into xinyi bafa or something else?

regards

You are very welcome and don't worry about my name because i am still not used to it! I have only recieve my Chujia name for not very long so everything is ok! I still feel like a diciple!

Ji Long Feng's Xingyi is different to Xinyi. One means mind (Xing) and the other is Form (Xin). Xingyi and Xinyi is similar but difference is in the stepping. Xinyi BaFa is from the original Xinyi but the 8 section was borrowed from the Baji principle. The bagua zhang element is a slightly changed style from Dong Han Chuen.

you got that backwards buddy.

'xin' means 'mind' and 'xing' means 'form'.

uhhh....correct me if i`m wrong...
so xinyi bafa comes from xing (form) yi rather than xin(mind) yi, with 8 gate principles from baji plus bagua zhang element?

I'm from China.

My pinyin is very bad so i am still quite confused here and i think maybe my earlier explanation was wrong because i mixed up Xing with Xin. I think i'll use the english name instead now. Xinyi BaFa the stepping comes from Form boxing but uses the principles of striking from Mind boxing. The rest you have is correct but it is difficult to separate the style into its parts now because it has been practiced as one so to use the separate element by itself would be useless.

that`s really interesting. Hope that i can see this style someday
thank`s shi heng che

You're welcome!

I'm sure you can find this style because it is not rare. Where are you based because maybe i will know a teacher nearby? I will be in Southampton and teaching a seminar on wednesday i don't know the booking detail because i am simply asked to teach but i'm sure there will be plenty of opportunity for you to see especially if you are in England, New York, China and Taiwan.
