|  He Jin Bao, 5th generation Yin Style Ba Gua Zhang, disciple of Xie Pei Qi. (lineage: Dong Haichuan-YinFu- Men BaoZhen- Xie PieQi--) He Jin Bao has been practicing for 30 years and has extensively researched his system. Within Yin style there are two systems; the martial and the medical. He is the only living practitioner possessing Xie Pei Qi's complete Yin style martial system. He Jin Bao's practice emphasizes development of practical fighting skill and reflexive internal power through extensive practice of san shou single and combined movements, circle walking, and standing excercises. Training with him is bitter and tiring. I was introduced to him by a friend, Yi Xiong, who is a fellow student of his and was fortunate to be able to study with him while living in Beijing. He is a great fighter with frightening power, speed and infinite changes, and a great person as well.

|   Chen Jin Hong (Gene Chen,) 19th generation Chen Tai Chi Chuan, first disciple of Feng Zhi Qiang. Also studied with Fu Zong Wen (Yang style,) Wang Pei Sheng (Wu style,) Lei Mu Ni, Hong Jun Sheng, and Tian Xiu Chun,(all students under Chen Fa Ke). He was also a lineage holder of Zhu Gar gong fu, also known as southern mantis. His great grandfather was born in Chen village. He was a great researcher of the Chen art and had a deep understanding of its principles. He was the first to bring it to the USA but he was very hard to locate and basically refused to advertise, so the only people who knew of him were the students who were lucky enough to find him. He was especially talented at explaining the art and his fighting applications were limitless. His art specialized in softness and a nearly undetectable control and attack method. He passed away a few years ago. R.I.P.

|   Feng Zhi Qiang, 18th generation disciple of Chen Fa Ke, student of Hu Yao Zhen (Liu He Xin Yi Quan.) He was one of the few students of Chen Fa Ke who was willing to suffer through learning the fighting applications at the teacher's hand. His practice focuses on large circles and what he has named Hun Yuan Qi Gong; development of energy circulation for martial arts and medical applications through relaxation and visualization in combination with Chen Taiji and Xin Yi methods. His martial practice emphasizes the free fighting aspect of Taiji Quan and development of Wu De (virtuous character in martial arts). I was lucky enough to study from him personally during several trips to Beijing through special introduction by my teacher at the time, Chen Jin Hong.
