Xingyi sparrow hawk form

I was reading an Edward Gorey interview in which he said that the German's have a word that simultaneously means cozy and slightly uncomfortable. Maybe that would be the feeling

I can't think of a word like that. It would be very interesting to know...


And what is so strange about the two of you meeting up and training together ? I don't get it.

Because I'm a creepy guy.



Actually, Margaret and her friend Elaine take it upon themselves to constantly correct my spelling and feed me cookies for being such a "good boy" lol.

Next time I look at that book and find it, I'll pm it to you.

Nice Hebei Xing Yi Quan, crisp and clear.

Have not seen these forms before, different from what I was previously taught. Where does the line come from for these forms?

Thanks Dai for the good words.
Its from Xue Dian's line.
Its a line that is pretty much lost, but my teacher (Yang Hai) was taught this system as a teenager in Tienjin by one of Xue's students.
Basically Xue took the animal forms of Xingyi and added a whole different body method to them that is way more coily and "dragon" like. The style is also called dragon style xingyi. I wrote an article about it at my wesbsite www.yuefei.ca
Its on the xingyi page.
