Learn a Powerful Form and Staff Fighting Techniques with the Xingyi Staff Form DVD
90 minutes of training into a strong form with movements that capture the essence of Xingyi's five fist postures - splitting, drilling, crushing, pounding, and drilling. You'll also learn staff techniques that can be transferable to other martial arts that use the staff.
Learn the Staff for Form & Fighting
The staff is one of the oldest and most practical training weapons in the martial arts. It teaches power, coordination, balance, and body connection in a way that few other weapons can.
In this instructional DVD, Ken Gullette teaches the traditional Xingyi Staff Form step by step, emphasizing the internal body mechanics that make the movements powerful and efficient. You'll learn how the Five Fist Postures of Xingyiquan are expressed through the staff, creating whole-body movement rather than isolated arm strength.
The form is demonstrated from multiple angles in both normal speed and slow motion before each movement is carefully explained. You'll also learn the fighting applications behind the movements, giving you a deeper understanding of why the techniques are performed the way they are.
A special bonus section teaches fundamental staff skillsā€”including grips, stances, blocks, strikes, and one-step drillsā€”that apply not only to Xingyi but to virtually any staff system.
Whether you are expanding your Xingyi curriculum or simply want to improve your body mechanics and weapon skills, this DVD provides practical instruction that carries over into all aspects of your martial arts training.
As you learn to generate power through the staff using your entire body, you'll often find that your empty-hand Xingyi, Tai Chi, or Bagua improves as well.

A Martial Purpose for Every Movement
Ken believes if you are going to do a weapons form, you must know what the movements mean for martial arts. He shows you.
Universal Staff Techniques
Grips, stances, blocks, strikes, and one-step exercises are all included on this DVD and apply to many different arts.
The Staff Doesn't Lie About Body Mechanics
If your body mechanics are disconnected, the staff tells you immediately. When your feet, legs, waist, torso, and hands work together as a single unit, the staff responds with speed, precision, and surprising power. That's why generations of martial artists have used the staff to develop skills that carry over into every aspect of their training.
