Yi Quan is a Chinese internal martial art. It was founded by Grandmaster Wang Xiangzhai at the beginning of the 20th century and was meant to represent a synthesis of the best training methods in the martial arts at the time. It features the practice of standing stances called Zhan Zhuang and slow, coordinated movements for both health and combat purposes. The present book offers an introduction into this martial art and underlines the principles and methods specific to it. It is meant both as an introduction and a practical manual for all those interested in the cultivation and development of gongfu (masterful skill obtained by effort).
