I had been searching for authentic, directly-transmitted Yin Family Baguazhang for many years. The moment I encountered Master Wang Shangzhi's Yin Family Baguazhang in Beijing—introduced through Lin Yang—remains an unforgettable revelation.

In today's world, most Baguazhang schools have adapted their forms and training methods to modern preferences. However, Yin Family Baguazhang has preserved its traditional essence intact, maintaining its original character and dignity through generations.

I'm deeply honored to help introduce this remarkable martial art to Japan. It brings me great joy that such a historically significant martial art can now spread in Japan, allowing more people to experience its profound inner dimensions.
