Xing means the shape and it comes first. Yi means the mind’s intent which is developed later. However, as you become proficient your mind’s intent will respond more quickly. As your mind and movements become coordinated, your response to an attack will become second nature.

DVD use guide:

1. Just wanted to let people know how to switch languages when they are viewing a multi language DVD with   English voiceover: In your DVD remote control there is an "audio" or "language" button. So when you are watching the DVD you can easily toggle Chinese and English voiceover by just pressing this button.
2. The interview section is the only part that doesn't have English voiceover. But all the instructions have it.
3. Also, we've been asked if this is a DVD-R burned disc and the answer is NO. This is a factory replicated DVD just like the ones you would buy at the store. So if you can play Pirates of the Caribbean, Then you can play this DVD.
