His immense experience is gleaned from the crucible of continuous and true testing of Xingyi's tenets.

The book also covers R.S.P.C.T. The book contains 266 pages, at 8 1/2 x 11, and over 700 high resolution photos and illustrations. Utah Valley Hsing-I Chuan/XingYiQuan Training. Xingyiquan to the Max. Hsu Hung-Chi. Hsu Hung-chi Hsu Hung-Chi or Xu Hongji (simplified Chinese: 许鸿基; traditional Chinese: 許鴻基; pinyin: Xǔ Hóngjī) (1934-1984) was a Taiwanese martial artist who specialized in the internal Chinese arts of xingyiquan, baguazhang and taijiquan.

Hsu was born in Taibei, Taiwan in 1934 to a family of six brothers. In school, he was very athletic and participated in swimming, soccer and judo. He began his study of Shaolin kung fu with his father at an early age. He also learned boxing and became a skilled street fighter. After many years of training, Hsu opened his own martial arts school. It incorporates elements of all three of the internal arts (xingyi, bagua, taiji) as well as Shaolin kung fu and qigong. Hsu felt that if a person, no matter what their race or nationality, sincerely wanted to learn and was willing to work hard, then he would teach them. For many years, Hsu went to teach in Japan every year and several of his Japanese students opened schools there.
