It  requires relaxation, co<em><\/em>ncentration and calmness-its movements are like  running water, while its standstills are like floating air. It passes  explosive forces throughout the body. Mentality boxers do not expose  their bodies to the attacks of the oppo<em><\/em>nent during a fight, nor do they  display their thoughts. They seldom generate power but when they do they  do it completely and thoroughly and often benefit from the force of the  opponent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-3035594466\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yi Quan or the mentality Chuan, also called Da cheng  Quan, was created by Wang Xiangzhai during the reign of Emperor Guangxu  (1875-1908) of the Qing Dynasty.
