Final Disciple at Old Beijing Yin Style Baguazhang (老北京尹派八卦掌)

November 2013 - Present

A classical Northern internal system transmitted through 董海川Dong Hai Chuan → 尹福 Yin Fu → 李寶森 Li Bao Sen → 張慶廉 Zhang Qing Lian → 徐世熙 Xu Shi Xi. Known for its deep integration of martial, medical, and Taoist knowledge — cultivated through circle walking, footwork, body method conditioning, striking and grappling and integrated with internal energy refinement, this lineage of Baguazhang was transmitted both orally and through systematic hand-written teachings.
