All Chinese martial arts that are considered "traditional" have interesting and disputed histories. The history of XingYi (one of the three main Chinese internal martial arts) is particularly interesting because its verifiable history is so incredibly long. We can (pretty) accurately trace it hundreds of years back to the 1600s when a man named Ji Long Feng was recorded as practicing Xin Yi... and that's where another particular problem starts - are Xin Yi and XingYi really two different arts, or the same thing?
