"Twenty years ago I gave this art the name yiquan. I used the word "Yi" - mind, intention, emphasizing that this art is based on spirit, mind, spiritual feeling. I wanted to awaken people who practice other martial arts, draw their attention to the name so that they realize their mistakes and start moving in the right direction. But I know that ordinary people who practice martial arts are stuck in their ideas, their mistakes accumulate and it is difficult for them to give up. unable to throw away mistakes and use what is valuable, thinking about the difference between right and wrong. They prefer to stick to wrong and keep mistakes. But I try my best to follow the waves, because that would mean loss. the true meaning of martial art. Sometimes I shout loudly in protest to break this paralysis and awaken people. I am completely sincere in this, but I cannot achieve this alone."
