The Advanced 12-Animal Form of Xingyiquan
You can now learn this advanced form that includes all 12 of Xingyi's animals. Ken Gullette also includes 127 self-defense techniques that give you deep insight into what the movements mean.
A Powerful Xingyi 12-Animal Form
The Shi Er Xing Form combines the principles of Xingyi's Twelve Animals into one continuous, advanced form that challenges your body mechanics, coordination, timing, and understanding of the art.
Rather than practicing the animal forms individually, Shi Er Xing weaves them together into a dynamic sequence that develops smooth transitions, whole-body power, and the ability to express Xingyi's principles through a wide variety of tactical situations.
In this detailed instructional DVD, Ken Gullette teaches the complete form step by step, explaining the movements, body mechanics, and the martial purpose behind every section. You will learn when to explode with forceful techniques, when closing powerful is as effective as opening power, and how building a bit of "pacing" in a form can highlight the relaxed power of this amazing internal art.
The DVD also includes 127 practical self-defense applications, demonstrating how the movements can function in realistic martial situations. Understanding the applications transforms the form from choreography into a practical study of Xingyi's fighting principles.
Ken won a gold medal in Xingyi forms at a major tournament in Chicago performing this form before experienced Chinese Xingyi judges. That experience reinforced his confidence in the quality of the body mechanics and movement principles taught throughout this DVD.
Whether your goal is to complete your Xingyi curriculum or deepen your understanding of the internal body mechanics that make the art effective, the Shi Er Xing Form offers a challenging and rewarding step forward.
