China from the Inside
http://www.chinafrominside.com/ma/
The Featured Article is an overview of Old Three Fists - "Drilling, Wrapping and Scissors" - the oldest methods of Xinyi and Xingyi.
Three Fists are recorded in old boxing manuals, however since they have been considered "Three Treasures" of Xingyiquan, they were taught only to most dedicated disciples and hence most never learnt them. Some simply re-created the techniques on the basis of their practice and experience. As the result the Three Fists are taught differently in various branches of Xinyi and Xingyi. Some understand them as specific techniques, while some as more general concepts.
The article discusses the Three Fists as taught within Dai Family Xinyi and how they are explained in Xingyi, Yi Quan as well as Henan Xinyi Liuhe Quan texts. For the first time the photos showing Three Fists of Dai Family Xinyiquan have been published.
The article also contains translations of classical and modern Chinese texts, including parts of very rare "Dai Family Xinyi Boxing Manual", for the first time published in English.
