Maryland Yin Cheng Gong Fa

Maryland Yin Cheng Gong Fa offers the Chinese Internal Martial Arts of taiji quan, bagua zhang, and xing-yi quan that were passed down from GM Wang Peisheng to Master Zhang Yun (photo). Currently, we offer instruction in the 37-posture Wu style taiji quan form, its martial applications, and its two-person forms. Through Maryland YCGF, we also offer instruction in Hebei Xing-yi from Han Mu-xia, Yin Fu style bagua, Liu De-kuan style bagua, and Cheng Ting-hua style bagua. These activities include traditional martial arts and health practices from Beijing that have been passed down to Academic Training Traditions by Master Zhang Yun since 1997. The Yin Cheng Gong Fa System has been an integral component in the expansion of our Martial Arts Programs and Mind-Body Workshops. Yin Cheng Gong Fa means 'the seal of sincerity in the martial arts'.
