Xiangxing Boxing (literally, animal-imitating boxing) is a kind of boxing that puts men’s or animals’ behaviors, actions and gestures into an attack and defense system.
Mainly there are monkey boxing, eagle claw boxing, snake boxing, mantis boxing, duck shape boxing, Wusong handcuff boxing and tipsy fist. Xiangxing Quan has various actions and some of them are named after animals’ gestures, such as white crane spreads wings , sparrow hawk turns over and so on.
Xiangxing Boxing can be divided into two major categories, shape imitation and essence imitation. The former just imitates man’s and animal’s actions with vivid gestures but less attack ability, while the latter absorbs advantages of animals when they attack and has obvious attack ability. Xiangxing Boxing can not only improve one’s physical health, but also cultivate one’s imaginary thinking and meet people’s aesthetic taste.
