🎧  Listen to Introduction

"Tianjin Traditional Xingyiquan" is derived from the skills of "Xingyiquan" and "Baguazhang". Li Cunyi brought his skills to Tianjin in 1898 and spread the skills of "Xingyiquan" for the first time. It has been 118 years since then. The characteristics are concise, sharp, fierce, swift and fast. Li Laoneng from Shen County, Hebei Province learned the "Liuhe Xinyiquan" from Dai Longbang of Shanxi, and he introduced it to Hebei and named this skill "Xingyiquan". It has a history of more than 200 years. Li Laoneng accepted Liu Qilan, Guo Yunshen and others as his disciples. Li Cunyi studied under Liu Qilan and received guidance from Guo Yunshen, the master of boxing, and had many unique skills. Li Cunyi also learned Baguazhang from Dong Haichuan. He exchanged skills with his Baguazhang brothers Yanjing Cheng and Cuihua Liu. He also went deep into the army and schools to teach. In the first year of the Republic of China, he organized and established the "Chinese Warriors Association" in Tianjin and served as the chief instructor of the headquarters, which promoted the development of national martial arts. He combines Xingyiquan and Baguazhang in one, and integrates them thoroughly. Xingyiquan is the main part, Baguazhang is the auxiliary part, and it combines the strength of Xingyiquan and the skill of Baguazhang to form its own system. Practice has proved that it is not only highly competitive, but also has a certain effect on improving people's health level, improving quality, preventing and curing diseases. Regardless of gender, age, or physical fitness, it can be practiced. "Tianjin Traditional Xingyiquan" has been passed down for more than a hundred years, and it has condensed the wisdom and sweat of generations of people and the broad-mindedness of Tianjin people. It is a business card of Tianjin martial arts culture and one of the representative boxing styles in the Chinese martial arts culture. It is compatible with the Confucian theory of neutralization and nourishing qi, the Taoist theory of seeking tranquility and softness, and the Buddhist meditation and enlightenment; it embodies the spirit of being positive, healthy, and striving for progress. It is also a perfect combination of Eastern philosophical thought, human body mechanics, and competitive technology. This kind of "martial culture" that is suitable for both movement and stillness, and both rigidity and softness is unique in the world. "Martialism and patriotism" is one of the core spirits of Chinese martial arts culture. Its development has modern significance and is an important connotation of the contemporary Chinese sports spirit.
