Internal Martial Arts

Yueshan Guan

I practice Hebei style Xingyi Quan, Yin style Bagua Zhang, and Northern Wu style Taijiquan, including:

  1. foundational practices (ji ben gong, zhan zuang, santi shi, qigong)
  2. form practice (tào lù)
  3. partner exercises (tuai shou, da lu, jie shou, wǔ xíng duì liàn, etc.)
  4. weapons practices (jian, dao, qiang)

I am a formal lineal student of Zhang Yun, who trained under the late grandmaster Wang Peisheng and leads Yin Cheng Gong Fa North America. Yueshan Guan is the name I use to refer to my continued practice of internal martial arts.

How To Train

Since moving to Seattle, I have worked at times with experienced martial artists on select elements of internal martial arts. Please email for more information.
