Quan.
Zhang YiZhong teaches
in the San Francisco Bay Area at quarterly weekend sessions in order to
give his students culture, a model for relationships, and a lifestyle

His purpose in teaching
Chinese internal martial arts is to show that brute force, rigidity, power

and the intelligent employment of yielding.
