Xuan Gong Quan is also known as Mystical Hand Form. The translation of “Xuan” is a little difficult. it means the effect of a window which seems dark from the outside but is actually illuminated from the inside. This is often lazily translated as “mystical”. In the actual Kung Fu practice the meaning is translated as something that is inside but cannot be seen from the outside. After further understanding the Xuan Gong Quan Form you will realize that the main focus is to transform energy from one movement to the other without using much muscular strength. Tai Chi and Kung Fu must be equally developed to grasp the essence of Xuan Gong Quan.
