Xingyi Quan (Twelve-style, Five-element and Five-element Linked Quan)
$19.95
Having studied Hsing i in Taiwan, my first impression was the stylistic differences between the Dragon Style I learned and the 'sliding' low strike presented here. That said, the footwork explanations are great -- and the real difference between the five elements and the animals are accentuated footwork and handwork variations (each of the animals is based in the five initial moves).

You won't learn hsing i from a DVD: you'll still need a decent instructor to explain and deconstruct the forms -- and some sparring interaction -- but for learning the forms and some interesting stylistic variations (explained in detail on this DVD) this product can't be beat.
