Yiquan waived morphology, and emphasizes the usage and appliance of Power (Hun Yuan Li, or whole body strength). This Hun Yuan Li is developed in the standing exercise (Zhan Zhuang) and then applied in the free movement. The basic movements of Yiquan are soft and slow. So Yiquan suits very well for the purpose of Yang Sheng (health maintenance), and also can be practiced by older people. For the study of martial arts, these basic moves will be extended with more force, explosiveness, and other methods of practice, eg Tui Shou (Pushing Hands), Tu Shou, San Shou Fa Li,….
