安身炮/An Shen Pao: Xingyiquan’s Realistic Fighting Set

Hello, there! Here’s a quick rendition of the famous Partner Routine of Xingyiquan, An Shen Pao, or Self Defense Pounding. Since this looks more like the Shanxi flavor, it might be better to call it Ai Shen Pao, Close Body Pounding. Enjoy!

Hello, I'm your Uncle Sickness. My study of martial arts & Daoist philosophy began in college & has carried through the rest of my life. In that time, I've learned Ba Fan Shou, Tan Tui (10 & 12 Road versions), Taijiquan, Tanglangquan, Baguazhang, & my personal favorite, Xingyiquan. In addition, I've studied a number of popular Qigong styles & meditation techniques.

What are your thoughts on this?
