The known history of our Xingyiquan starts when a Chinese man named Li Luo Neng became determined to learn the secretive martial art system of the Dai Clan who lived in northern China. After a long period he was accepted as an inner door student and learned the skills of their Xin Yi Quan, which focused on direct powerful striking using whole body connected power. After many years of study he gained extraordinary skill and went on to further develop the art into a system teaching San Ti Shr (three bodies basic stance), Five Fists, and Twelve Animals, both barehanded and armed with classical weapons.
