Yiquan, alternatively referred to as "Dachengquan," is a Chinese martial art centered around the cultivation of "neijin" or "internal power," which signifies internal strength. Yiquan places an emphasis on the development of whole-body strength, natural movement, and relaxation, as opposed to placing exclusive reliance on muscular strength.

Yiquan encompasses a range of dynamic routines, breathing exercises, and standing meditation (zhan zhuang) postures that are specifically crafted to foster the development of internal energy and martial prowess. Partner exercises and applications are frequently utilized by practitioners to evaluate and refine their techniques.

Fundamental tenets of Yiquan encompass:• Wuji, which translates to "state of emptiness or absence of extremity," is frequently equated with the primordial state that existed prior to the universe's formation. Proponents endeavor to attain a tranquil and unclouded intellect, devoid of any diversions.

• The dantian, situated in the lower abdomen, is the "elixir field" or energy center. To increase vitality and strength, Yiquan practitioners concentrate on cultivating and circulating energy (Qi) within the dantian.

• Sinking and Relaxation - By acquiring the ability to physically and mentally unwind, practitioners enable their bodies to descend and establish a connection with the ground. The state of relaxation promotes the effective conveyance of force and augments stability.

• The generation of force in Yiquan is primarily achieved through the coordination of the entire body, as opposed to exclusive reliance on isolated muscle strength. The objective of practitioners is to integrate and integrate their movements in order to generate explosive power.

• Yiquan is performed for spiritual development, health and wellness, and martial arts instruction, among other objectives. It has gained international and domestic acclaim due to its emphasis on practical efficacy and internal development.
