Xing Yi Quan's "Stable Body Pounding"
An Shen Pao Quan
This is another two man set from Xing Yi Quan. Unlike the Five Element Destructive Creative Fist Set, An Shen Pao Quan incorporates not only the Five Element Fists but also movements from the 12 Animal Forms.
Similar to the Za Shi Chui, this chapter in the book emphasizes the proper development of Qi in the body. It emphasizes the progression of "boxing without boxing, to master boxing without intention, and that the real idea exists in "no mood" (p.286).
Below are videos of practitioners performing An Shen Pao Quan.
