Xingyi Kempo for the year 2011...

Xingyi Kempo was founded in 1 July 2010. It has been a fulfilling journey for the past 18 months. We have conducted regular training on Xingyi Quanfa at Cairnhill Community Centre and a short period between late 2010 to April 2011 at Marsiling Community Centre. Xingyi Kempo has also commenced its Bagua Zhang training since September 2010.

Two of our students had participated in the National Wushu Competition 2011 and Xingyi Kempo is proud that their hard work had been paid off. Senior Lim Hock Chan had came in 1st for Bagua Zhang and Lee Zhi Hao had also came in 1st in Xingyi Quan.

Xingyi Kempo had also conducted its first grading test on 6 August 2011 for students who have been training with us for some time and had completed the necessary modules.

With the year 2011 coming to an end and if you like to include keeping yourself healthy and fit while learning a new art, picking up Xingyi Quanfa and Bagua Zhang are good options to be taken into consideration. The new Xingyi Quanfa course is commencing on 7 January at Cairnhill Community Centre. You are also welcome to join our ongoing Bagua Zhang training. You can contact Master Tay for more details.

See you in our upcoming courses.

Bagua Zhang 八卦掌

Bagua Zhang is one of the Chinese Internal Style Martial Arts that Xingyi Kempo (Singapore) is keen in promoting. The following is a demo clip performed by Master Tay.

八卦掌被列为中华武术内家拳的体系里。而新加坡形意拳法在于推广内家拳，这八卦掌的推行就自然不在话下。以下为一段由郑顺利师傅所演練的八卦掌介绍片断。
