Hsing I Ch’uan translates to “form and intention boxing” or “body-mind boxing”. The history of Hsing I Ch’uan is unclear. One account credits Boddhidarma with its creation; while others credit general Yeuh Fei of the Northern Sung Dynasty (960-1127). Hence, it is unclear whether Hsing I Ch’uan is a Taoist art like T’ai Chi Ch’uan or a Buddhist art of the Shaolin temple. Chances are that it was developed by many masters both Taoist and Buddhist over an extended period of time. Like T’ai Chi Ch’uan, Hsing I Ch’uan is considered an internal art.
