I just thought it was kind of vague to the point of being useless. My rationale for that is that all you really said amounts to "learn the five fists and then learn to fight with them" which doesn't really help the guy that much IMO. I wasn't trying to be insulting, just sharing my perspective on the question and how it was answered.

Gotcha,
I just meant that once you learn the five fists, their uses will begin to open themselves up to you. Xing I is such a user friendly art that sometimes people miss out on the nuances and subtleties that make up the essence of the art , by bypassing one of the most important phases, something your own teacher actually did an article on.

When you do something, your opponent will response something and he will expose part of his body. You then attack whatever that he has exposed to you. It's just like water always find the leak and flow into it. This is the common sense for all striking art and it's called - detect the leak. It's used in all CMA styles and not just Xing Yi.
