YI QUAN (Mind Boxing)

Yi Quan (Mind Boxing) is also known as Da Cheng Quan (Great Achievement Boxing). Though seemingly a simple system Yi Quan is subtle and deep emphasizing mental training as much as physical. Though originally derived from Xing-Yi Quan, this style simplifies even more completely eliminating Tao Lu (forms). Rather than this traditional practice Yi Quan has a number of other methods. These include Zhan Zhuang (Standing meditation drills), Tui-Shou (Partner Exercises), San-Shou (fighting training), Fa Li (Issuance of Power), and others, Shi Li (testing force).

Yi Quan puts a lot of time into training mind, fist and strength. To accomplish this Yi Quan attempts to eliminate outdated practices and approach Quan-Xue, that is to say the Science of Boxing. Yi Quan sees three main approaches to martial studies for self defense, health and the joy of study itself. By streamlining this process, it is felt, more people can safely and enjoyably study the arts. Students start with Standing exercises for health then progress to standing exercises for self defense. Then begins its other methods of single and partner practice.

The use and practice of power or force is a feature of Yi Quan training. The force is built from the standing postures then issued. If linked and spontaneous it takes, in some ways, the place of routines - which Yi Quan - doesn't have. Again, health and fighting use essentially the same structure with subtle differences. The demonstrator for this series is Huang Jing Wen, a third generation practitioner.
