Hsing-I Kung Fu

Hsing-I, which could be translated into "Mind Shaping," is one of the great secret martial arts. Ironically, it is hidden by being placed in plain view, since there are many schools of Hsing-I worldwide

In the schools, where an introductory, combat-oriented version of the martial art is taught, students are told that there are no longer any teachers of Shan Si, or "Internal Engine." However, the students are always told of the legendary Chi arts of then- forefathers and how the current form, the Ho Pei, the current external style, must be considered inferior to the internal cultivation of Chi. Promising students are carefully watched and those who show a true longing for the Chi secrets are eventually initiated into the hidden techniques of Shan Si.
