FETUS KUNG FU !!!
FETUS (TAI XING)
This 'tai' is a different character than the one for emu, although it is spelled the same in English. It is human fetus or unborn child. Some Chinese define the fetus as an animal until it is born. Only then does it become human. Given the population pressures that have perpetually plagued China, it is not too surprising that they take this stance on the unborn. It is the only nation to instigate mandatory birth control and perhaps not a moment too soon.
Qigong places high regard for prenatal qi, or the life of the unborn. As a martial style, the stance is similar to a fetal position if a fetus could stand. It uses small quick steps and short power, depending heavily upon elbow strikes. Fetus Kung Fu is a very rare style.

EMU STYLE !
EMU (TAI XING)
This giant bird has been translated as ostrich, rhea and roc. Roc is an incorrect translation because this giant bird was mythical. The emu, ostrich and rhea are real birds, but it is not certain which of these birds was the 'tai' bird. According to legend, this giant bird was a gift of Portuguese traders during the Song dynasty (960-1279). They were described as large, flightless birds that could run 300 miles a day and ate meat, metal, glass and hot coals. Although prone to exaggeration, it is likely that this was a bird like an Emu. Like the lion, only the emperors had direct experience of this bird. The rest of the Chinese attributed all sorts of fantastic characteristics to this animal that they have never seen.
The emu is very strong. It was said to be able to cut open a man's belly with a kick. Accordingly, emu style relies on leg strength. It rams its opponents using fists locked close to the body. But the power behind these strikes is generated from the legs, not the arms. Emu is another animal form within Xingyi.
This guy has his Xiingyi (and his Translations) SERIOUSLY fucked up ... -
