thnaks
Snipped from an earlier post…
"…Yiquan (mind boxing), which is a derivative of Xingyiquan (mind form boxing).
As the name implies, it has done away with traditional moving forms (apart from an advanced type of free-form expression called ‘health dance’), and is based on standing post meditation’ (Zhang zhuang) which cultivates internal strength. There are two types of Zhang zhuang - Yangshengzhuan (health preservation standing post meditation) and Jijizhuang (combat standing post medtitation), which are taught first. These are followed by Shili (testing force), Mocabu (rubbing step), Fali (shooting out strength), Shishen (testing voice), Tuishou (push hands) and Shizuo, or San Shou (combat).
The health standing meditations (Zhan zhuang) are the way of entering Yiquan as a martial art, or can be used solely for health, or in conjunction with another martial for helping to build internal power.
It was developed by Wang Xiangzhai of Henan Province, China, in the mid-1920s. A lot of really excellent stuff has been written on this forum about Yiquan by Li Jiong."
Here’s one website. If you do a web search you’ll find some others.
