| Wu Xing Lian Huan Quan, or 5 Linked Elements, is the first Xing Yi forms (Tao Lu or routines) for students once they have learned and can practice 5 (individual) Elements well. This is a very important one because it can help students build up correct and good Xing Yi techniques/skills for their head, eyes, shoulders, arms, hands, back, waist, hips, legs, knees and feet. It also helps students learn and build up solid and flexible footwork. There are different ways to practice this Tao Lu, such as, slow, soft, flexible, light, heave, fast or hard. Students are suggested to practice this one many times until it's good enough and before they start working on new one. Plus, to gain the real power, students need to practice some special Internal Qi Gong also.
Generally, Xing Yi is a kind of hard or strong internal style, more direct, simpler and stronger, so when we practice this style, we need to show hardness (roughly between 70 and 90 percent) more than softness (roughly between 30 or 10 percent). We also need to do Fa Jin (Chinese Pin Yin) or release energy and power. Because the grass is wet, slippery and soft, I didn't do it too hard. In this video, I just demonstrated how to do Fa Jin and also how to balance the softness with relaxation and hardness with speed a little bit. However, beginners are suggested to do it slowly and more gently.
