About Hsing I....

[lowsweep]

I have the choice of either taking Northern Shaolin or Hsing I at a school I found that I like. Could somebody give me an overview of hsing I, or a good site where I could get some info? How long does it take to become a fairly effective fighter with a good teacher compared to Northern Shaolin? Thanks, lowsweep

In this forum you will probably get more votes for Hsing-i. Here is a link. (http://hsing-i.com/) Either would be good and all depends on the instructor or you!

Check www.emptyflower.com (http://www.emptyflower.com)

It's a Hsing-I site with lots of info.

Hey lowsweep! I remember from an earlier post of yours that you live near where I grew up. What's the name of the school that you found, and who is the teacher?

[lowsweep]

The school is the Shaolin Center with Sifu Frank Versagi. He teaches Northern Shaolin, Qi Gong, Tai Chi Chuan, and I think he teaches Hsing I, too. He's 2nd generation Sun Lu-Tang Xing Yi (Hsing I) 3rd degree black sash, 3rd dan Shorin-Ryu karate. What does the 2nd generation Sun Lu-Tang Hsing I mean? Is that a variation of traditional Hsing I? Thanks for the websites and the help, lowsweep

Sun Lu Tang's Hsing-I is traditional. Ask him who his Hsing-I teacher was.

Hi, Second generation in this case would simply mean that your sifu's, sifu, studied with Sun Lu-Tang.
