Dai Family Xinyiquan is one of the rarest and secret branches of Mind and Intent Boxing. Created by Dai Longbang in 18th century the system was originally passed only within the family, but in early 20th century Dai Kui and Dai Hongxun began to teach students from outside. Because of strict rules regulating the teaching process and very conservative attitude of its practitioners the style is still hardly known outside of Shanxi Province. Dai Family Xinyiquan is often considered the mother style for Hebei and Shanxi Xingyiquan. The system is famous for its focus on Iinternal Skill (Neigong) and Dantian development This is the very first set of VCDs not only showing but also explaining in great detail - many unique - and so far considered secret - practice methods of the system as well as its main techniques - Five Elements Fists, Ten (Animal) Shapes, routines, weapons and applications. Techniques are shown from different angles, explained in a step-by-step, easy-to-follow way with stress on the way the body, hands and steps move and their coordination. The release of this set of VCDs can be considered a milestone in revealing the methods of this rare style. Mr Dun Shuqi is son of Duan Xian and grand-disciple of Dai Hongxun.

This is first VCD set ever produced focusing on rare style of Dai Family Xinyiquan. Kept secret for centuries by Dai clan members, it was the original style that Li Laoneng learnt and modified into today's Xingyiquan, one of three famous internal styles. Even today Dai Family Xinyi is still a little known and obscure style taught traditionally in small county in Shanxi Province. The style puts great emphasis on the development of internal strength of Dantian - which is accomplished through practice of a special set of internal methods. Later various striking methods and routines are introduced to practice. The style is first practiced in relaxed, smooth manner. Once the soft aspect is developed one learns to use explosive power of the whole body. This set of VCDs is demonstrated by Guo Jingang, long-time disciple of Yue Guining and grand-disciple of Dai Kui. It covers basically all empty hand methods of Dai Family Xinyiquan:

• Five Dantian development methods, including Squatting Monkey Stance, Turning Dantian, Rolling Dantian, Smashing Dantian, etc.

• Footwork (Bu Fa)

• Shoulder (Striking) Methods (Bang Fa)

• rare method of "Rubbing Ankles and Polishing Mirror" (Mo Jing Mo Jing)

• fist methods of Seven Cannons (Qi Pao)

• famous Three Fists (San Quan)

• Five Elements Fists (Wu Xing Quan), and Ten (Animal) Shapes (Shi Xing)

• Linked Fists (Lian Huan Quan) and Linked Seizes (Lian Zhu Ba)

• Five Sequences of Locking Postures (Wu Tang Za Shi)

• two versions of famous Four Seizes (Si Ba) routine

Movements are shown in both normal and slow speed.
