Xingyi Quan, or "Mental Form Boxing", originates from Taigu county of Shanxi province. Due to its concise moves and swift actions, Xingyi Quan was honored as one of China's four types of boxing along with Shaolin boxing, Taiji boxing (shadow boxing) and Eight Trigrams Palm boxing. In 2008, it was listed as part of China's cultural heritage.

The contest this year attracted 783 participants from China and various foreign countries including Russia, Singapore, Cuba and Norway.
