The Five-element Boxing (Wuxing Quan) also called Xingyi Mother Boxing is the most basic fist technique in the series of Xingyi Quan. It includes: Chop Fist (Pi Quan), Drill Fist (Zuan Quan), Snap Fist (Beng Quan), Cannon Fist (Pao Quan) and Crosscut Fist (Heng Quan). The Five-element Boxing is named according to the Five Elements theory in the China's traditional culture. Previous masters combined fist forms with Five Elements theory, simplified them to find out the five boxing forms, combined body and Chinese medicine theory to define the boxing theory and skills of attack and defence, finally named it Five-element Boxing.
The Five-element Linked Boxing (Wuxing Lianhuan Quan), a classic routine after Five-element Boxing has been spread much widely in most areas. Although movements of every faction in every area are not the same, basically they are largely identical but with minor differences. They have only a dozen of movements with advance and retreat and after return; there is still the repetition of these movements.
