The Yiquan Matrial Arts Academy, created by Master Yao Chengrong, is the major association of Yiquan in China and all over the world.

Master Yao Chengrong, son of Master Yao Zongxun, who was student of Grandmaster Wangxiangzhai,    created this academy, in order to teach, research and develop Yiquan. Master Yao Chengrong, principal     and head teacher of the Yiquan Martial Arts Academy, devoted himself in teaching Yiquan.    He is a teacher trying and  willing to show his students all the concepts and ideas of Yiquan and what it  means to learn martial arts.

Yiquan is a chinese martial art system, which was created by Wang XiangZhai. Yiquan is regarded as  neijiaquan, or an internal martial art system. Therefore the standing pole, or "standing like a tree", also known  as Zhan Zhuang, is one of the main aspect in the training of Yiquan.    Practitioners of Yiquan learn to generate energy in a different way, what Yiquan calls "the full body energy - or zhengti li". During the training, the work and development of this energy is the main focus. Therefore the training differs much from other Martial Arts styles. In Yiquan there is not really a form of connected movements as in Taiji   or other styles. Furthermore we practice basic movement patterns, in which we learn how to create, to use and to work   with the whole body energy.Then we connect those patterns and use the whole body energy to move freely and create our own form. So we are able to use this force in any situation, any direction and any movement. This is what makes  Yiquan so unique.

Through the training of Yiquan, the self recovering aspects of our body, the immune system, the muscles and    bones, the inner organs, and the mind are being affected.Which makes Yiquan a good method  for health cultivation. The movements are very natural, and don`t really have big, wide or deep movements, which also makes Yiquan    interesting for eldery people.
