This episode is all about getting in touch with your opponent... SO YOU CAN PUNCH HIM IN HIS FACE! All Martial Arts are concerned with two things: striking an enemy while simultaneously preventing that enemy from striking you. There are as many ways to go about accomplishing this as there are individual Styles of Martial Arts. As a Mid to Short Range Style, Xingyiquan favors a set of techniques for making, maintaining, & taking advantage of contact between you & your opponent.
