TheWoWDBBe careful where you go to fight them. It's easy to get mobbed by a bunch of them, in which case they will kill you. Most classes simply don't have the tools to deal with 3 or more of them at this level.
Unless you can pull one at a time, it's best to stay in "town" and kill the ones that rush in. Otherwise you give them the chance to surround you.
Note that they have an ability where they jump on your head and DPS you from there for a few seconds, and you can't fight back. If you're a Monk, you can use Roll to dislodge them. Otherwise, you can try jumping up and down-- some say that works.
Edit: this has been iterated on a number of times since I wrote the post during Beta. Currently (Patch 5.1) the Hozen don't jump on your head anymore, and they also seem to be less powerful. Still be careful though, not to pull too many at once.

Description
We call those vicious monkeys swinging into town hozen. They keep to themselves normally, but they know something bad is coming, so they're here to steal our supplies. In situations like this, the clear answer is the only answer. These monkeys will leave when we force them to leave! To not defend our town and those we love would be the only true crime. Thus is the way of the Huojin.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Ji of the Huojin
Another of my most talented students is awaiting you in Wu-Song Village to the northwest. He is of a different mind than Aysa, but in their differences, they bring balance to each other. Ji Firepaw will instruct you on gathering the offerings for the spirit of fire. Trust in his wisdom.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Kindling the Fire
Now that that's done with, let's get to it then! Huo, the spirit of fire, hungers for dry dogwood root kindling. It grows among the trees south of the village. It should be easy enough for you to gather some.
