XingYi: Going from barehand to sword
Submitted by GrahamB on Sat, 09/05/2009 - 11:16pm.
Most people are surprised to hear, or would disagree, with the statement that XingYi is primerily a weapons art. It is. The historical record of its origins is that it comes from spear fighting, yet in the modern age it's done almost exclusively barehand. While XingYi is a proven martial art for barehand fighting, many of the techniques of XingYi still make a lot more sense with a weapon in your hand.
As an aside, I'm convinced one of the reasons (among others) that Wang Zhang Zhai changed his XingYi into Yi Quani was to reflect the reality that barehand fighting was what people were actually using the art for.
But anyway, I digress. One of the joys (for me) of XingYi has always been that what you learn barehand you then transfer directly to weapons use. There is no need to learn another 'form' just because you're holding a sword or a spear in your hand.
Here's an example of what I mean - I shot this informal clip of me messing around in the morning yesterday, and it shows how the same movements can transfer from barehand to sword with little, if any, alteration. In XingYi, the tip of the sword becomes the hand.

No sword on hand, and about
No sword on hand, and about to be slashed? No problem! Reach out and clap your hands if you believe... you can stop a blade barehanded. At the extreme end are characters capable of stopping a blade between two fingers or — if Made Of Iron — simply bouncing the blade off their finger or arm 70-632.
One of the Tropes Busted By Myth Busters: The best-case scenario would end up with a large chunk of a hand sliced off, assuming one had enough force to stop the blade coming down. Most likely one would get a sword in the head anyway mcts 70-640. However, a trained martial artist using hand protection like the metal grips used to help climb walls could pull this off with (depending on size) the appearance of doing it barehanded 70-642 braindump.
