Yung An Qi ( Exclusive )
By danzig138

It is becoming a common thing these days for martial artists to combine, streamline, and redefine their styles, much in the spirit of Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do. Yung An Qi is the result of one man's desire to do just that.

John Masters was a highly-ranked practitioner of Ba Gua, Hsing-I, and Tai-Chi Ch'uan. He felt that each of these forms had many benefits to offer, but learning each was a very time-consuming task. His solution was to combine them into one form that kept only the best aspects of each. After many years of training and revising, and more training, he developed the form he named Yung An Qi ( Eternal Peaceful Energy ).

Yung An Qi retains the strongest physical techniques of it's parent styles, along with the very intense internal training. The Yung An Qi master will approach combat very calmly, retaining his wits. He will protect himself, parrying and dodging attacks until he sees an opening, when he will strike out with various hand and foot strikes.

Training in Yung An Qi is available only in a school in New York City.
