Xing Yi Quan is a hard hitting, sophisticated, style of Chinese boxing, first created in the 1600s it is descended from the battlefields of Ming Dynasty China, evolved over time to be used by bodyguards, professional security agencies and prize fighters throughout the 1700s and 1800s.

 

Today the art is still relevant whether you want to learn it for it's excellent self protection qualities, for inclusion within Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) or sport combat, to stay healthy, fit and strong, or for more esoteric, spiritual and personal development purposes.

 

Xing Yi Academy promotes a balanced and realistic view to learning Xing Yi Quan. Every step, each lesson, they are all focused on providing in depth, practical methods that can be used immediately.  Methods that are simple and effective but can be continued to be refined for as long as you continue to practice the art. 

 

The Xing Yi Academy system has amazing depth and detail. As well as the Foundational teachings of the Five Elements, each of the 12 animals is its own martial art in itself. You can focus on those aspects or animals you are strongest or most natural with or take a strategic approach and work with those that highlight specific abilities or tactics. Advanced training involves working on the more meditative and esoteric aspects of the art, the Xin (Spirit), Yi (Intention), and Qi (Energy).

Paul Andrews

Head Instructor and Creative Director - Instruction and Content Creation

Paul has studied martial arts for over 20 years with a special interest in Xing Yi Quan.  He primarily studied under Sifu Damon Smith in the UK but has cross-trained widely seeking out other skilled martial artists to learn from. 

He competed in the European Chinese Full Contact Sword Tournaments 2011 and 2012 where he placed in the quarter and semi-final respectively. There he met Scott M Rodell Laoshi and began training Chinese sword fighting, holding regular UK seminars, and becoming an accepted apprentice student in 2019. 

Paul has also travelled and trained in China. First in 2016 when he trained intensively in Yi Quan with Yao Cheng Rong and Shuai Jiao (Chinese Wrestling) with Wang Tong Qing in Beijing. In 2019 Paul travelled to Tianjin and Shanxi to meet with representatives of various Xing Yi and Xin Yi Styles.

Paul inherited his Xing Yi from Sifu Damon Smith who learnt from three different lineages.  Firstly, Master Yeoung Ko Te, a Malaysian of Chinese decent, his grandfather had studied under the renown Gou Yun Shen. Secondly Master Zhu Guang from Beijing who had studied under the prominent teacher Luo Da Cheng.  And finally with two masters in Beijing  who taught a family style again descended from Gou Yun Shen. 

The merging of these three lines as well as Paul's own experiences from Yi Quan and other groups means that this style is uniquely rich in variety, depth and detail, especially the Twelve Animals. 

Paul previously worked as a professional ecologist for over 16 years before pursuing Xing Yi Academy full time. His professional experience has given him a deep understanding of animal strategy and behaviour able to be applied to the Xing Yi Animals
