Thread: Xingyi and QINGGONG...

    Xingyi and QINGGONG...

    I am VERY interested in Qing Gong (Ching Gung) or lightness skill. I know this skill is normally associated with the internal arts but was wondering if it went against Xingyi's heaviness theory...?

    Also, does anyone know of any techniques to enhance Qing Gong?

    Many thanks,

    Qinggong is not associated with internal arts.

    And Xingyiquan is about 'heaviness'...it's more a term of 'stability'.

    Xingyi theory states that you should train to be 'stable as a mountain', but at the same time to be "so subtle and agile that if you are walking in pitch black night and there's a breeze, you'll react and turn with the breeze".

    Do you mean Qi Gong?

    Is QinGGong another way of spelling Qi Gong? If its not then what is it for? What is it for?

    Qing Gong usually means light steps.

    The originator of Ba Gua Zhang, Dong Hai Zhuang, was known to have light steps. The legend said he may jump off one story high building without making a sound. He may walk by you and get out of the building again without a sound.

    There is no particular school for this.

    Usually, you practice walk in even and quiet steps. You then put weights on your leg. 1#, 2# to 5# or more, then walk, or jog.

    Huo Yeng Jia, the founder of Jin Wu (Chin Woo) Men in Shanghai, was also known to have light steps.

    Shaolin also has some legends.

    The highest level is to walk in a puddle of water without any splashes.

    However, to walk on the water or bamboo leaves only exists in the novel and the movies. Grossly exaggerated!!!
