But why should we go into the detail when you already seem to know it

Lets look at your question:
"How would one know that the practitioner is actually fighting xing yi style"

You would get hammered. HARD. End of story. The only time that this may not happen, is if the other guy is playing with xing yi too.

It wont look pretty, and it wont look like 5 element fighting. True xing yi is _all_ about using the right implement, at the right time, into the right part of flesh. Its not about techniques. Its just what ever is right at that time!

So yes - we have answered your question, and no we are not newbies.
