HENG QUAN
THE CROSSING FIST OF XING YI QUAN
The Crossing Fist is Xing Yi's Earth fist. The organs associated with the Crossing Fist are the spleen and the stomach.
Similar to Pao Quan, Heng Quan hits with the rear fist. It is also similar to Zuan Quan where the fist twists outward, the fist heart facing upward upon contact.
Interestingly, Heng Quan defeats Zuan Quan by sidestriking the lead arm. This follows the philosophy that Earth destroys Water in the Wu Xing. However, Zuan Quan is countered by Beng Quan, the Wood Fist, which seems to strike against Heng Quan's unprotected side.
Heng Quan is the fist that I find most difficult to decipher in Xing Yi Quan Xue. It is also the one that is most differently interpreted by practitioners (at least online).
