About XINYI-AIKIDO
fusion of xinyi & aiki with Yuj |
|
|
|

|
 |
The system of XINGYI is classified Three
stages
evolved Xinyiquan (Hunan style) ⇒ Hsinyiquan
(Hubei style) ⇒ Yiquan (Dachanquan) |
|
|
Xingyiquan is a very old Chinese martial
art that most believe originated
in the early
1600s. It is a very powerful
art which is
classified as an internal
system like it's
sister arts Taijiquan (Tai
Chi) and Baguaquan.
However, Xingyi's mindset
is that of an aggressive nature. Where Taijiquan
yields and blends with
an opponent's attack,
and Bagua circles and evades,
Xingyi smashes
right through the opponent
in a linear fashion
with an unrelenting attack.
Legend says that the origen
of xingyiquan
was a secret kung-fu "Xinyi-ba"
in Sholin Temple, that
was improved to Xinyiliuheqian,more
evolved to Hxingyiquan,
still more to Yiquan,
so Xingyiquan is classified
3 types. |
 |
It can be spelled many different ways, such
as: "Xinyiquan," "Hxingyiquan,"
Hsing I Ch'uan," etc. Pinyin is the
official English romanization of the Chinese
language, so it is confused, but xinyi and
hxingyi is different type, xinyi is "Shinyi"(心意),xingyi
is "Keiyi"(形意) by japanese pronunciation
and Chinese word.
At old time the spear was known as King of
weapons and Xingyiquan was developed
to make
the twisting, turning and speed
of the fist
to emulate the spear.Xingyiquan
is characterised
by simple and steady movement's
very powerful
and direct compact routines.Xingyiquan is a no-nonsense fighting system
- relatively easy to learn, but
difficult
and long to master. Proper body
mechanics
and quieting of the mind and
body are of
utmost importance to excel in
this art. The
power is generated from the ground
in the
Xingyi practitioner's legs, funneled
up through
the body and out the arms. In
fact, when
the practitioner strikes, he
is striking
with his entire body, not just
his fists.
The character of oldest Xinyiliuhe is dynamic
full-motions,Hxingyi is compact and sharp,
Yiquan have no fixed pattern.
 ☆ The First Stage XINGYILIUHEQUAN
Hunan Xinyiquan has also been known as six
harmony's boxing (Liu He Quan), the style
that we recognise today has a history of
over three hundred years.The basis of Xinyiquan is the Tenth Animals system, which can be translated as Drgon Form, Tiger Form, Cookerel Form,Horse
Form,Monkey Form, Snake Form, Swallow Form,
Sparrow Hawk Form, Eagle Form,Bear Form.
 ☆ The Second Stage HXINGYIQUAN
The heart of Hubei Xingyi are five fist forms
or "wu xing." These are short repetitive
forms each depicted by the Chinese five elements
of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Each
one generates a different kind of energy
or fighting power and each one corresponds
to an internal organ of the body. Advanced
training introduces twelve animal forms based
on the five fists.
The 5 basic fists:
- Piquan, translated as Splitting or Cutting Fist,
is associated with Metal. It is used as a
wedge with which to ‘split’ and deflect
opponent’s attack while simultaneously attacking.
The mental image the practitioners concentrate
on is that of an axe splitting a log.
- Tzuanquan, Drilling Fist, is associated with Water.
The image is that of water suddenly bursting
through the dam and sweeping all in its path.
- Pengquan, Crushing Fist, is associated with Wood.
The image is that of an arrow hitting it’s
target.
- Paoquan, Cannon Fist, is associated with Fire. The
image is that of a flame suddenly leaping
out or a bullet leaving a barrel of a gun.
- Hernquan, Crossing Fist, is associated with Earth.
The image is that of a large rock rolling
down a mountain.
|
There are two cycles that illustrate the
interaction between these elements.
In the
first cycle, the cycle of generation,
each
element generates or produces
the succeeding
element: Wood produces Fire,
Fire produces
Earth, Earth produces Metal,
Metal produces
Water and Water produces Wood.
In the second cycle, the cycle of destruction,
each element destroys or absorbs
the succeeding
elements: Fire destroys Metal,
Metal destroys
Wood, Wood destroys Earth, Earth
absorbs
Water, and Water destroys Fire.

Master Wan |
|
THE HISTORY Yiquan has its roots in Xingyiquan and
was developed by Master Wan xiangzhai (1886-1963) in the middle of
the 1920s. Mister Wang was the last master
disciple of the most famous Xingyiquan Master
of that time, Master Guo Yunshen, who came
from the province Hebei. As a result of the great commitment, talent,
and character of Wang Xiangzhai Guo Yunshen
taught his last master disciple the secrets
of the Zhangzhuang exercises. After his death Wang went off on his travels
across China for many years to prove the quality of his martial art. In this
time he exchanged experiences with many famous
masters from different martial arts (Shaolin-Xinyiba
Style, Crane Boxing, different Xinyiquan
Styles, Baguazhang, Taijiquan) and thus completed
his own martial art in theory and practical
experience. |
Wang Xiangzhai dedicated his whole life to the search for
the essence of the inner martial arts (Neijiaquan)
and the systematization of their principles.
Wang Xiangzhai put the Zhanzhuang (Pole Standing exercises) and
Shili (exercises to feel Inner Strength)
in the center of his training with the aim to return to the quintessence of the inner
martial arts. This was the historical beginning
of Yiquan.
Wang Xiangzhai, the founder of Yiquan, was
not only known as excellent martial art expert
who won a manifold of challenges but also
as Master of Zen. He was also a famous poet,
painter and calligrapher.
Later in his life he spent his time with
maintaining health and preventing sicknesses
as well as with healing illnesses with the
help of Yiquan. Many patients who did not improve under
common therapy were cured with the aid of
Yiquan. Later, the therapeutic benefit of
Yiquan was academically proven by Prof. Ph.D.
Yu Younian, a late disciple of Wang Xiangzhai.wang xingzhai named Yao Zonqxun, one of his most noticeable disciples, as
his successor. The latter passed on his knowledge
to both of his sons, Yao Chengguang and Yao Chengrong. The two of them are so successful in East
Asia that they enjoy an excellent reputation
as martial artists. |

WHAT IS YIQUAN?
|
| |
Yiquan is a Chinese way of practise in order
to develop our body and mind.
Yiquan uses the power
of mind and imagination.
The process which
is started by inner
pictures
and intention is
immediately transfered
to
the corporal sphere,
by which body and
mind
integrate automatically.
This process of
integration reacts
upon and encloses
on the
other hand all spheres
of human being.

Yiquan as Martial Art
|
|
Yiquan is from the tradition of the inner
styles and means ?mind boxing“. Yiquan does without all superfluous exercises
and forms, but concentrates
on the ESSENCE
of traditional Chinese martial arts: training
of mind and building
up Inner Strength. The central aspect is working with the power
of imagination. This activates our natural abilities and enables
martial artists to perform in a direct, spontaneous
and energetic way.
Yiquan exercises
are clearly
structured and easily
comprehensible.
This explains why
they are so effective,
or as Wang Xianzhai,
the founder of Yiquan,
puts it,
|
|
|
| |
“What is most ordinary is the most extraordinary“.
(Wang Xiangzhai, founder of YIQUAN)
|
| |
|
| |
Yiquan as Meditation
|
| |
The main exercise of YIQUAN is Zhanzhuanggong
which is also called “standing like a tree”.
By practising Zhanzhuanggong
we attain a
clear state of mind,
physical strength
and
inner peace, or “Hunyuan“.
In this state of
balanced mind and
strength
we experience an
intrinsic process
of absolute
purification and
healing of both body
and
the mind. What we
ultimately aspire
is to
realize the initial
nature of all being.
|
|
|
| |
“Returning to one's origin
means attaining silence“.
(Daodejing)
|
| |
|
| |
Yiquan as Health Care |
| |
Since good health forms the basis of success
and contentment in
martial arts and
any other
activities, physical
and mental health
care
is an essential element
of Yiquan.
The exercises enable you to work on physical,
mental and emotional
blockades in an active
way and to solve
them little by little.
YIQUAN helps you
to return from permanent
activity to silence,
from thinking to
feeling,
from tension to relaxation
and it is an excellent
method to strengthen
the immune system
as
well as to slow down
processes of nerval
and physical wear.
Therefore it is extremely
suitable for burn-out
prevention.
|
| |
| |
| |
|
| |
Yiquan as Inner Art of Healing |
| |
Because of the great healing effect of Zhanzhuanggong
on body and mind, YIQUAN can be applied for
recovering after serious illness ? as an
ideal support and promotion of orthodox medical
and psychotherapeutical treatment. It can
be practised for inpatients and outpatients
alike.
YIQUAN enables patients
to take responsibility
for their own and
to contribute to the process
of healing in an
active and responsible way.

AIKI BUDO
jujutsu and kenjutsu |
|
|
Jujutsu is a Japanese martial art whose central ethos
is to yield to the force provided by an opponent's
attack in order to apply counter techniques
from the resultant ensuing situation. Generally
jujutsu style (ryu) make limited use of strikes
since they were predominantly developed in
feudal Japan under the auspices of the samurai
warrior class. The techniques evolved to
become effective against armed opponents
wearing bamboo body armor to protect vital
parts of the face, throat, and body. In addition
to jujutsu, many schools taught the use of
weapons.
Some define jujutsu and similar arts rather
narrowly as "unarmed" close combat
systems used to defeat or control an enemy
who is similarly unarmed. Basic methods of
attack include hitting or striking, thrusting
or punching, kicking, throwing, pinning or
immobilizing, strangling, and joint-locking.
Great pains were also taken by the BUSHI
or SAMURAI (classic warriors) to develop
effective methods of defense, including parrying
or blocking strikes, thrusts and kicks, receiving
throws or joint-locking techniques (i.e.,
falling safely and knowing how to "blend"
to neutralize a technique's effect), releasing
oneself from an enemy's grasp, and changing
or shifting one's position to evade or neutralize
an attack.
Technical characteristics
Although there is some diversity in the actual
look and techniques of the various traditional
jujutsu systems, there are significant technical
similarities:
- The unarmed waza of most schools emphasize
joint-locking techniques, that is, threatening
a joint's integrity by placing pressure on
it in a direction contrary to its normal
function, aligning it so that muscular strength
cannot be brought to bear, take-down or throwing
techniques, or a combination of take-downs
and joint-locks.
- Sometimes ATEMI (strikes) are targeted to
some vulnerable area of the body; this is
an aspect of KUZUSHI the art of breaking
balance as a set-up for a lock, take-down
or throw.
- Movements tend to capitalize on an attacker's
momentum and openings in order to place a
joint in a compromised position or to break
their balance as preparation for a take-down
or throw.
- The defender's own body is positioned so
as to take optimal advantage of the attacker's
weaknesses while simultaneously presenting
few openings or weaknesses of its own.
- Weapons training was a primary goal of Samurai
training. Koryu (old/classic) schools typically
include the use of weapons. Weapons might
include the hanbo (three-foot staff), katana
(long sword), kodachi(short sword), or jitte
(short one hook truncheon).
A Japanese based martial system formulated
in modern times (post Tokugawa) that is only
partially influenced by traditional Nihon
jujutsu, is correctly referred to as goshin (self defense) jujutsu.
philosophy
All Japanese jujutsu have cultural indicators
which help give a sense of the traditional
character of a school. The more traditionally
Japanese and the less westernized the school,
the more you will see:
Japanese culture and religion have become
intertwined into the martial arts.Buddhism,Shintoism,Taoism
and Confusionist philosoophy co-exist in
Japan, and people generally mix and match
to suit. This reflects the variety of outlook
one finds in the different schools.
Jujutsu expresses the philosophy of yielding
to an opponent's force rather than trying
to oppose force with force. To manipulate
an opponent's attack using his force and
direction, allows jujutsuka to control the
balance of their opponent and hence prevent
the opponent from resisting the counter attack.
The Japanese have characterised states of
mind that a warrior should be able to adopt
in combat to facilitate victory. These include:
an all-encompassing awareness, zanshin (literally "remaining spirit"),
in which the practitioner is ready for anything,
at any time; the spontaneity of mushin (literally
"no mind") which allows immediate
action without conscious thought; and a state
of equanimity or imperturbability known as
fudoushin (literally "immovable mind").

What is AIKI ? ( similar neijing as inside
kung-fu ) |
Aiki is a complex concept, and three aspects
of it are as follows:
1) Blending not clashing
- Aiki typically describes an idea of oneness
or blending in the midst of combat. In aikido
it generally describes the more elevated
notion of blending rather than clashing.
"Blending" is often described even
within aikido as "awase".Many definitions
for "aiki" seem to be based around
"awase". Emphasis is upon joining
with the rhythm and intent of the opponent
in order to find the optimal position and
timing with which to apply force. To blend
with an attack, it is usually necessary to
yield to incoming forces, so aiki is closely
related to the principle of ju. Aiki is about
engaging an attack, not retreating from one.
2) Dominating the assailant
- The aiki practitioner is able to dominate
the assailant and 'lead' them and their attack
into advantagous positions. Body movements
(tai sabaki) used for this may be large or
small and subtle. Subtle weight shifting
and the application of pressure to the assailant
enable one to lead an assailant, keep him
static, or keep him unbalanced (kuzushi)
in order to employ the one own technique.
In the same manner, through deceptive movements,
the aiki practitioner may negate a defence
response from the assailant or create a defence
response from the assailant that puts him
even further into peril. There is a strong
degree of intent, will or psychology to this aspect of domination. Mind and body
are coordinated.
3) Use of internal stength - Ki energy
Kiai and aiki use the same kanji (transposed)
and can be thought of as the inner and the
outer aspect of the same principle. Kiai
relates to the manifestation, emission or
projection of ones own energy (internal strength),
while Aiki relates to the merging of one's
energy with the energy emitted from an external
source (blending). Thus kiai is harmony with
our own, internal energy while aiki is harmony
with an attacker's energy. Kiai consists
of all parts of the body being unified and
directed to one intent. Aiki, ultimately
has to do with a very good ability to manipulate
kiai upon contact so that the practicioner
blends his ki with the attacker ki instantaneously.
This use of ki will involve the use of kokyu
power, i.e. breathing is coordinated with
movement. Kokyu Ryoku is the natural power
that can be produced when body and consciousness
(mind) are unified. The term "kokyu"
is can also be used to describe a situation
in which two opponent's are moving with appropriate
timing.

XINYI-AIKIBUDO is composed of trinity that
is combined the arts of Striking-YIQUAN and
Throwing(graspping)-AIKIDO and Weapons-SWORD
and SPEAR.

Hiro Kawabuchi reached the high rank of arts
with *Yoshin-ryu and *Hakko-ryu jujutsu in youth, but could not
feel satisfied because was not full the strength
of Aiki, he belived Aiki that is the core
of Japanese Budo. and later studied other
traditional Bujutsu, especially Kenjutsu
(Japanese sword arts) and Inside Kung-fu,made
deeply researchs into the secret of Aiki
and Atemi appling kenjutsu techniques. kenjutsu
was principal arts with Samurai, had higthest
concept and skills. His AIKI is constructed
by the power on buliding sensitive inner
training, and both Jujutsu and Kenjutsu methods,
co-ordinating breath and movement, as well
as achieving the attunement of oneself with
the spirit of ZEN.
|
|
He says now both modern and classcial Budo
has learning defensive and ofensive patterns
but lacks to develop inner power, so the
skilles easily deteriorates with aging process,
it is real effective techniques including
Aiki power synchronizing breath and movement
and mind and spirt, the Aiki is not affectived
by growing weaker, similar ' neijing ' as
inside kung-fu but not all the same, it is
peculiar to absorb opponent's power to powerless.

He started instruction of Japanese Budo and
Chinese Kung-fu in Osaka since

Hakkoryu Jujutsu (sister arts of AIKIDO) is a style related
to Daito-ryu founded in 1941 by Ryuho Okuyama.
The influence of oriental medicine is one
of the distinguishing elements of the style
and can be seen in the Shiatu system taught
to its members at the higher levels of the
art, as well as in the jujutsu system's emphasis
on using pressure points and manipulation
of the opponent's body through both the skeletal
structure and the body's meridians... It
was studied by the founder of Shorinji Kempo.
|
Shindo Yoshin Ryu Jujutsu ("Sacred Willow Style") is a old
jujutsu style. The Shindo Yoshin Ryu tradition
was founded late in the Edo period by a Kuroda
clan retainer named Matsuoka Katsunosuke
(1836-1898).Shindo Yoshin-ryu emphasizes
grace and natural movement, it was fundamental
in the founding of one of Japan's most prominent
styles of Wado-ryu Karate. |
