I've been interested in the style for quite some time now and I've been wondering what is a good training schedule for it. I'm reading a book by Sun Lu Tang that outlines the 5 fists and how they are applied. He says a lot of what you do in the style starts from the San Ti posture.

Hmmmm.

I don't think Xingyi can be learned from a book. The books are great once you have a teacher and are progressing in the art. Video is even better for learning, but the same problem there. You need a teacher. I could be assuming too much here. Are you learning from just a book?

I am not bashing your learning, just asking for a reference point.

[Tai-Jutsuka]

I wouldn't say I'm trying to learn from the book, I'm just reading it to try and get some understanding on what the art is. There is a seminar in a few weeks at my local *chinese name for dojo which has slipped my mind* that I will be attending though.

[CD Lee]

I really would not know what the best training schedule is. I just do what my Sifu teaches me. They know me, and give me something to work on until I get it. Then they give me another thing to work on...and on it goes. I am working on basics right now. Which is difficult enough in it's own right.

[HuangKaiVun]

Sun Jianyun, Sun's daughter, says in the introduction that quite a bit can be learned from that book.

Though the English translation by Albert Liu is mostly unintelligible (even to my Chinese ears), you can still see Sun doing his thing.

If that book is going to be your textbook for this, I'd suggest starting with the beginning and going onward. It's hard to get through the curriculum, but the static pictures give some idea of what the stances are supposed to accomplish.

Personally, I do my Xingyiquan very different from Sun. This isn't because of lineage, this is because of functionality (i.e. fighting.) Thus, my postures are completely different from Sun's though the idea is the same.

If you can USE the stuff from the book in combat against a resisting opponent, you'll have gotten out of the book what REALLY needs to be gotten.

You live in south Florida?

Man, go to Miami and train with Master Wei Lun Huang

also, if you are stuck with video because you are poor, or your parents won't let you, Try Liang Shou Yu's video on Xing Yi
There are also a lot of cheap VCD's in Mandarin around the net.

Dear pal,
Xing Yi is a fighting art like many others, with its partcularities. It does not seems like learning from a book nor video tapes or something like no-contact methods. But, we do invite you and all the others to visit our website and take a look in our vision of Xing Yi Tchuen.

without seeing someone move, it would be impossible to
understand the intricacies and subtleties of internal
martial arts.
you gain book knowledge from books.
you gain physical knowledge from seeing the physical
movement manifest and thereby imitating it.
without feeling and experiencing the true internal
generation of power, your kung fu will be external.
applications from a book will still apply fundamentally,
but the power to make a move devastating instead
of painful will be sorely lacking.
just one time if possible, travel to see a true internal
teacher, one who will show you the difference between
internal and external manifestations.

the san ti posture is a very important posture in
hsing-i. it figures prominently in hsing-i theory, and
is used extensively in the 5 fists (elements), and the
resultant animal sets.

You might want to try Tom Bisio's website. He has a step-by-step xing yi nei gong program coming out at the end of April:

What is Xing Yi Nei Gong and why should I learn it?

Nei Gong literally means “internal exercise”. Xing Yi Nei Gong was created by Wang Ji Wu, who lived to be 100 years old and remained healthy and vital into old age. Wang was an accomplished martial artist and a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on experience and experimentation, he created a series of exercises for his students and patients that effectively strengthens the whole body inside and out, from head to toe, while building energy and vitality, and preventing illness. These exercises are also an excellent form of rehabilitation after illness or injury.

Xing Yi Nei Gong can be performed in just 20-30 minutes a day. When practiced daily, these “Life Nourishing” exercises increase functional strength and flexibility, improve coordination and balance, and promote vitality and inner resilience.
