The Five Fists of Hebei (12 Animals) Style Hsing I Chuan: METAL
In the Five Phases cycle, Metal splits
Wood but is smelted by Fire, generated by Earth, and can be transformed
into a liquid (Water-like phase). The practice of Hsing I Ch'uan is
built on the Five Phases and the use of the art is organized through
Five Fists.
Xingyi's Metal (or, Splitting) Fist is primarily associated with
movements that press or strike downward and split like an axe. Its
nature corresponds to Metal, one of the Five Phases (or Five Elements)
of Chinese Medicine and Philosophy as articulated in the Yellow
Emperor's Classic on Medicine. Metal is usually the first of the Five Fists taught.
