Yiquan or Dachengquan (Mind Boxing) was created by Wang Xiangzhai (1890 - 1963). He combined the key aspects of Xingyiquan, Baguazhang and Taijiquan and over time discarded everything that he came to view as non essential. Gradually, the mental aspects came to domoinate all parts of the training. To emphasize the importance of mind, both in training and its martial use he called his art Yiquan or Mind Boxing.
There are five stages of Yiquan training
1. Zhan Zhuang (including Mo Li)
2. Shi Li (Strength testing)
3. Mo Ca Bu (Friction Step)
4. Tui Shou (Pushing Hands)
5. Fa Li (Fa Jing Training)
It is a wonderful adjuct to any of the internal arts training programmes and you can get more informatiomn from Karel Koskuba's site at www.yiquan.org.uk
Hope this helps
Best wishes
