The energy expressed in Beng Quan feels like a strong bow which has been drawn, and whose power is able to smash anything. The two fists attack in a rotating cycling fashion. Regardless of which fist extends out, the left foot is in front and the right foot is in the rear.

In Xingyi, the Beng moving pattern belongs to wood in the Five Elements. Wood can create fire, so Beng Quan creates Pao Quan. According to the principles of Mutual Desruction, Beng Quan destroys Heng Quan.

The energy of Beng Quan is like a tree which can grow and be bent like a bow. The Qi in this pattern extends and withdraws. When the Beng movement is smooth it can benefit the Qi circulation in the liver.

Song of Beng Quan
When the Beng Quan posture is emitted, the three tips (hands, feet & nose) are lined up. The tiger's eye is facing upwards level with the heart. This is Yin. The rear hand is Yang and chambers under the armpit. The front foot (left) is forward and must move smoothly.

In order to be steady on the rear foot, the feet must form the shape of the Chinese character for man (inverted V). When performing Beng Quan and turning the body, the hand is held high as the eyebrows. The body is standing upright while raising the foot. The foot is raised under the knee and the toes are sideways.

The foot and the hands fall together and the thighs are like scissors. The front foot must step with Heng and the rear foot follows smoothly. The way of striking in Beng Quan is the tip of the tongue presses upward. In the front arm, the elbow is pulled and the fist is pressed upward. When you step forward and emit the fist, first strike the flank. The rear foot is tightly connected and follows.
