Apparently one of the goals of Wang Xiangzhai was to make CMA, or at least Yiquan, more scientific. I read an article about a year ago that compared Wang Xiangzhai view to internal CMA to Bruce Lee's view of Martial arts and it was an interesting comparison.
If I can locate the article I will post it.
